The ‘Trepca’ border crossing will go back in business starting from this Tuesday under the jurisdiction of Kosovo’s state authorities. The news was made public today by the country’s prime minister, Albin Kurti, who emphasized that this reinstatement will bring about positive change, especially for businesses.

“Oddly and unfairly enough, this space that is used as a border crossing terminal, had been denied to ‘Trepca’ and passed over to a private company. This has led to higher prices and up to €40 euros per truck,” – said Kurti.

Shifting the focus of state-owned enterprises to attend to the needs and interests of citizens and local businesses was also praised by the minister of economy, Artane Rizvanolli.

“It’s a pleasure to see our public enterprises go beyond their industrial role and slowly shift their focus on what suits the public interest and the interest of local businesses,” – said Rizvanolli.

From 2003 to 2014, the border crossing terminal present within the territory of Trepca was contracted to a foreign private company.
