During their joint government meeting, the government of Albania and Kosovo signed several cooperation agreements.
The minister of infrastructure and energy, Belinda Balluku told Euronews Albania that the most important one of these agreements will be the one involving a project for the construction of a railway connecting both countries.
The construction of a Tirana-Prishtina railway will create the possibility for Albania to grant Kosovo access into the Mediterranean Sea.
“It’s a project that not only connects both countries through a railway but it also brings together two ports, the port of Durres and the dry port of Prishtina. It is a very modern concept when it comes to trade and one that has been applied in many developed countries,” – said the minister of infrastructure.
Balluku also stated that there is currently an open race and it remains to be seen who will have the winning project proposal. The minister also said that this railway is set to finish within a timeframe of 4 years.
