Kusari Lila: 10 euros for 10 years of State, National Road Council

Alternative MP Mimoza Kusari-Lila has commented on the tax assignment on the Nation Street on the part of the Albanian government.

Through a Facebook post, she has said this tax stripped both governments of claims that they are working at joint meetings to bring about differences between states.

Kosari-Lila's complete Facebook text:

10 for 10 years state ) “Talli” of the nation's road

The 10m pay-offs to the nation's road stripped the two governments of claims that we are working at the Joint Government Meetings to bring about differences between the two states.

$10 for a car up to 3.5 absurd Albanian from the border. Even worse, now that the Kosovo Infrastructure Minister is declared to have not known about this amount and for this job?

What, though, have the infrastructure ministers discussed at the meetings of the two governments?

Three Kosovar deputy ministers in Albania's government, including the deputy tourism minister, have consulted little for this point, or are they not to consult there?

Kosovars are outside every category the largest visitors to the mother state, so with this road tax, are they supposed to be lowering their number or what's the matter?

To illustrate, in June 2017, out of 437 thousand and 820 tourists who visited Albania, 31% came from Kosovo, meaning 135,724 tourists came from Kosovo for a summer month. All of these will spend at least 30 times the $10 tax, so what is the Albanian state aiming to reach this tax now? Or, you prefer tourists who will come by plane and ship and spend two-three times more than Kosovars.

To Albanians, when Serbs do not interfere with integration, as if by the power highway (line 400kV), we stumble each other with street brick.

What calculation was used to draw that figure? Do the authorities of Albania know that annual fees on European highways do not exceed $200 (see attached widow)? What is the motive, and what are the expectations of this fee?

Much better it would have been to have Albania's prime minister talk about this payment on the 10th anniversary of Kosovo's independence than he sailed into his imagination and spoke of common president between the two states.

Perhaps Albania, released because we are moving towards visa liberalisation, wants to help us find ways to Europe, while Europeans let them come to Albania. I can't think of another reason for this fee for unfinished highway.

Let it go, the Kosovar side has not yet set its fees.

If there could be absurd to this spring, then this is the biggest nonsense.
