Delays in expanding the route to Veternik trigger columns

Although promised by the Ministry of Infrastructure that month these works will be completed, this project has not yet been realised.

The manager of this project, Isa Berisha, argues with the delay in temperature reduction.

Long columns and Thallovs in the city have caused work on the road to the bridge in Veternik. The project manager at the Department for Road Management by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Isa Berisha, told Radio Kosovo that the contracting company would complete the previous work within 60 days after the winter season ends.

“Based on the dynamic plan and flow of works and the end of the winter period, I believe that the company along with the Ministry of Infrastructure will finish the work in the previous term, which is still 60 days ahead of schedule from the part when the winter season” ends, Berisha said.

The commander of the Road Traffic Police in Pristina, Milaim Fejzullahu, told Radio Kosovo that it is a fact that street work is causing columns, but police are standing there for normal traffic circulation as well as preventing accidents.

We as police were assigned at the peak time, from 7 to nine o'clock in the morning, and at night by 15-17, to be present in this area, because the work is under way in this workshop, and it is necessary that we, like the police, be there in preventing accidents but also in normal traffic circulation”, Fyzulah said.

The new survey project in Veternik will cost Kosovo's budget about 2.5m euros, and the works were meant to end in a six-month deadline. /rtk/
