In accordance with this Resolution, it is planned to transform state-owned enterprises under the Ministry of Transport into limited liability companies and sell the state participatory interest by public auction (via the platform “E-auksion”) with the adoption of the following investment and social obligations:
- to carry on with the activities in the field of public transport for at least 5 years and, first of all, in areas connecting rural areas with district and regional centers;
- to implement modern information and communication technologies (GPS devices, electronic payment systems) in the course of one year.
