The Ministry of Transport has published for public discussion changes to the Regulation on Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The establishment of training centers for drone operators is planned, in which the requirements are almost the same as those for driver training centers.
The changes provide that third-country nationals will be able to register as drone operators. The operator cannot be registered simultaneously in more than one EU country. Online training and an online theoretical exam can be carried out by a sole proprietor or a legal entity under the control of the "Civil Aviation Administration".
Stricter measures to control drones are proposed after an unknown device blocked the airspace over the capital's airport in February.
