Kosovo asks Albania for tax clarification on Nation Street

Placing the 5-euro tax on the Nation's Road showed mixed reactions both within Albania and Kosovo.

The payment price of access to this path has also been highly rated by Kosovo state officials.

Minister of Infrastructure, Pal Lekaj has said he has already expressed concern over the process, but also about the price of payment.

He has said he has sent official letter to Albania's minister, Damian Gjiknuri, requesting a meeting with him in order to discuss the matter in detail, as well as the possibilities in his report.

We will request an appointment to discuss other topics that are of interest to both countries. Should the decision remain firm, it will be seen by the Government of Albania what it will decide next and how it will act. We don't want to turn out that we are trying to interfere with the decisions of the Albanian state institutions”, Lekaj has said of Indexline.

According to the Minister of Infrastructure, it would be good to drain all opportunities to review payment prices.

“The way would be to drain all possibilities to review the payment price. There is always a possibility of easier solutions, but I re-increasing it, that is to the Government of Albania, to decide”, has concluded Lekaj.

Construction of booths damaged by protesters has already begun on the Nation's Road, but according to authorities, it is expected to take up to 60 days.

It's not being paid for destroying that part. She'll be back for her time. Perhaps it will take a 60-day period minimally”, Albanian Transport Minister Damian Gjiknuri has said.
