In the mountain cluster, they examined construction of the Combined Motorway and Railway Adler - Krasnaya Polyana as well as with the Media Village project.

“Members of the European Parliament who make part of the EU and Russia Cooperation Commission asked many questions about environment, construction and relocation.

They saw for themselves that the readiness level is high and that the environmental issues form integral part of the Olympic construction”, told Svetlana Zhurova, Vice Speaker of the State Duma.
