Economic Development Minister Valdrin Luka has declared it to be at the conclusion of the tenderation package for the “New Kosova” project, which provides Kosovo with 1 billion euros in energy investment.

New Kosovo “ ” is now in the conclusion of the tender package. There are also few small details left, such as bringing the lead of the new coal mine. There are two proposals coming from a working group that we've created with a government decision. We're considering those proposals so that one of these proposals can be passed on to Government. Once we get them straight, then we get the coal from that location of the mine and the specification of that coal will be part of the tender. I believe that we are on that right path that by the end of the year we will have a selected company that will make the construction and we will also know the cost of investment correctly. While, at the beginning of the coming year, financial package will be completed on the basis of the cost of the cost of the thermal power plant and that financial package to pass to parliament, and then continues with the construction of the thermocentric in”, Minister Luka stressed.
