Lekaj after giving the money to Bechtelli: Kosovo also survived an arbitration

Kosovo's “government today saved Kosovo from an arbitration as well. We fully understand the interest in the current decision made by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo for the additional cost of extending the contract to complete the highway project. It's the best possible choice than what we found when we came to the top of duty”, he said.

Lekaj has thanked the members of the Inter-ministerial Steering Committee and Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, commemorating that the Kosovo Government's decision, for paying the cost of delaying the project for one year, has come after the negotiations of the Interministerial Steering Committee and contractors.

“Today, I have solved a problem and avoided a larger one so that Kosovo will not end up in an arbitration process that would have high costs for Kosovo's state budget. We will be at the helm of the task of pushing forward projects to the best of economic development and connecting Kosovo to countries in the region and Europe”, says Infrastructure Minister Paul Llekaj's response.
