Talks with farmer Havránková back on track

Transport Minister Vít Bárta said stalled negotiations would continue with farmer Ludmila Havránková about the sale of her land which would allow the extension of the D 11 highway to Hradec Kralove. Efforts to acquire the respective three hectares of land which stand in the way of construction have continued for sixteen years with the last government threatening to expropriate the land on the grounds of public interest if an agreement was not reached soon. Minister Bárta said talks were being renewed and he hoped to be able to report a favourable outcome in a few weeks time.
