But the extra cash of the annex-contact for the construction of the <x0c>Arba Xhaferi” has not yet been poured into the budget of this consortium, while in budget planning for 2019 it is pre-paid to pay this item.
On June 5th of this year, Minister of Infrastructure, Pal Lekaj said the company in question has demanded 63m euros because the deadline for completion of jobs was extended, but that after the discussions had managed to lower that figure for 10m euros to 53m euros.
