Railways before collapse, two weeks ago train operation

Kosovo Railways are facing a major financial crisis recently. This has given us two weeks ' worth of trains in our country.

To talk about this issue and to block the development of the guest railway on the <x0m Good Morning Kosovo” in RTK 1 was Agron Thaci, chief executive head of INFRACOS.

“We have warned public opinion several times through statements and interviews we have had on crisis issues, but also on issues of general developments, but recently it was the T Company. RAINKOS, which is a special company operating transportation and goods, which, in its inability to maintain and operate trains and driving vehicles in absence to fuel as elementary material, has been forced to stop trains and that happens at the beginning of August. So there are two weeks that all the national passenger trains that have operated in Kosovo no longer operate, which TRAINKOS is in no way possible to serve citizens throughout the country's entire territory”, has highlighted Agron Thaci, chief executive chief of INFRACOS at RTK 1.

He has already said that the crisis is not only connected to operator T RAINKOS, but also with infrastructure, because the government, as responsible and founder of these two public enterprises, has not carried out its legal obligation under the Law on Kosovo Railways.

Kosovo's <x0odles since 2011 have been divided into two companies, in INFRAKOS, which manages railway infrastructure as well as in the train operation company, in transportation of travellers and goods called T RAINCOS. So, we are two fully independent companies in management and boards, but we have the same shareholder and of course we are railway families and we have co-operation”, Thaci said further.

He has said INFRACOS is responsible for managing railway infrastructure, regulating and managing railway traffic, as well as managing property and real estate that he possesses.

According to Thaci, the exit from this crisis is for the Kosovo government to pay under the 1.8m-euro precautionary agreements for INFRACOS, as well as over 1m euros for TRAINKOS. If that amount is not paid, it will be huge because there will be no operating of trains in Kosovo. The government is going to go or what will come, according to INFRAKOS chief executive chief, sit down urgently and find a temporary solution for this year and then everything is regulated.
