The Government of Kosovo has foreseen a budget of around 1 million euros for the research study on the feasibility of the Prishtina-Durres railway.

According to the minister of Infrastructure, Librun Aliu, through this study they will be able to have a clearer understanding of the exact costs, the route as well as the time needed for the construction of this railway. Aliu also added that after the memorandum of cooperation between Albania and Kosovo has been signed, and after the visit to Italy, this railway is on its way to completion.

The Durres-Prishtina railroad isn’t only important in terms of a geopolitical perspective, but also an economic one.

PM Albin Kurti has declared that this railway “is important from an economic aspect, just as much as a geopolitical one, because it helps the region as well as our neighbors, with whom we share a common past, but also a common future.”
