Albania's official says national road tax cannot be lowered

Albania's government has announced that it cannot lower the price specified to pay anyone passing through Albanian highways, including the Nation Road.

Infrastructure and Energy Minister Dardan Malaj's adviser, Dardan Malaj, has said all the tendering and concession procedures have been passed in 2016. Kosovo Minister Paul Lekaj's reaction has also been said because of lack of information.

The price of five euros for one direction for anyone driving across the Nation Street cannot be reduced.

This is because everything on this tax is set up in 2016 when the maintenance of Albania's highways is granted.

Dardan Malaj, political adviser to Minister of Infrastructure in Albania, has said it ended in 2016 and the same decision is not expected to change

All procedures were developed and completed in 2016. Now, it's just the testing phase and then you start applying. There are issues of concession and tender procedures that have completed”, Malaj said Sunday for the Express Journal.

Pal Lekaj's reaction has called him not well informed.

The “I also saw the reaction of Kosovo Infrastructure Minister and possibly lack of information on the issue. It is not that this tax is now being imposed”, he says, among other things.

Malaj said the tax issue is defined in the contract and can no longer have discussions as they completed all legal procedures until the signing of the contract.

So it was signed in 2016”, it was concluded.

However, there have been reactions to this tax in Kosovo and Albania.

Sali Berisha has called Edi Rama's plunder this tax and has said it should not be decided because the same road brings the state 300m euros per year.

Meanwhile, lawyer Dastid Pallaska has said that Eddie Rama has been spent on the drug market while the money is trying to collect through the National Road tax.

In that spirit, Minister of Infrastructure, Pal Lekaj, has said he will seek clarification from Albania on this tax. He has even said that there were no consultations for this action.
