The promise he had given his allies since he took office, Haradinaj seems only to have begun to implement it, writes Infocus.com.
After the millions of projects that are envisioned for this municipality with the budget of 2018, where there would be no road left without asphalt, new schools would be built and sports infrastructure improved, the prime minister is also asking for money from the EURZH for investment in one of the municipalities in this region, Deqan.
Prime Minister Haradinaj has demanded from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (BERZH) over 60m euros to support some of the projects for the Deqan municipality, with which Haradinaj's co-party government, Bashkim Ramosaj, writes Infocus.com.
The projects of this municipality, for which Haradinaj sought support, are: the treatment of sewage worth 36m euros, the construction of a sewage collector worth 15m euros, and the regulation of the Lumbardi River bed, which covers a cost of 9m and 700 thousand euros.
The Kosovo government has presented a total of 39 projects at the Western Balkans summit, organised by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (BERZH), which was held in London on 26 February.
Other projects for which financial support is required are from the public and private sectors, and are dedicated to road infrastructure, sewage treatment, drinking water, projects from alternative energy production and production projects, whose value reportedly amounts to about 600m euros.
At this meeting, Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has expressed the commitment of the country's government in developing regional projects and co-operation among Western Balkan countries.
He had cited projects as building the new railway line linking Kosovo and Albania, another line connecting the country with Montenegro, completing the Pristina Skopje highway, and the interest of Kosovo having access to the Trans-Adriatic gas pipeline.
Even experts on economic issues have considered that Kosovo can benefit from this summit, because the credit period and interest rates from the EBRD are favourable to Kosovo.
By contrast, the Republic of Kosovo in 2012 was joined by the European Bank for Development and Reconstruction.
But this bank had helped Kosovo's development, including the public and private sector, even without its membership. /Infocus
