Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Romania is facing various legal disputes regarding infrastructure projects, specifically concerning tender processes and land expropriation compensation. In Constanța, the construction company STRABAG has contested the tender results for the Tomis - Aurel Vlaicu road passage, putting the contract award on hold. In Cluj, a tribunal ruled that land expropriated 18 years ago for the Transylvania Motorway must be returned to Fluotex Conf SRL because it was not used for its intended purpose, though the decision is under appeal. Additionally, the owners of Dedeman are suing the state over compensation for land used for the Iași bypass, alleging they received negligible amounts. Expanding on these land disputes, the High Court of Cassation and Justice has ordered the Romanian Government to approve expropriation procedures and pay compensation for land along the A8 Highway route. This ruling follows a three-and-a-half-year legal battle initiated by East West Management SRL regarding land near Horlești. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-07: Romania High Court orders government to pay A8 highway expropriations Romania's High Court has ordered the Government to proceed with expropriations and pay compensation for land affected by the A8 Highway construction following a legal challenge by East West Management SRL. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/romania-high-court-orders-government-to-pay-a8-highway-expropriations ### 2026-10-06: Romania infrastructure: Legal disputes over tenders and land expropriation Legal disputes arise in Romania over infrastructure projects, including a STRABAG tender contest in Constanța and land expropriation lawsuits by Fluotex Conf SRL and Dedeman owners. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/romania-infrastructure-legal-disputes-over-tenders-and-land-expropriation --- Cite as: Romania infrastructure legal and expropriation disputes.
