Uta Ibrahimi: Government's giving information, Prizren road Tetovo destroys Kosovo's lungs

As an aplinary and naturalist, Uta expressed indignation at the government's decision because the construction of this road affects the Sarr Mountains National Park. She said that the part in which the ministry was envisioned to build the road is mostly flora and fauna, and that Kosovo's lungs are being damaged.

“Construction of Prizren Tetovo Street with very little information the Government of Kosovo is giving us are showing us that the road has to start in Manacherice is running in Bozovce, if you just do a analysis on topographic maps, you realize they're the steepest parts of Sharr, and also, the wildest parts of the flora and wildlife. Whatever tunnel they think and open in that area, except that it costs Kosovo millions, they have to destroy the lungs of Kosovo”, she said of Periscope.

Ibrahimi has said that the Government should provide more information on building this road or on the contrary would do their best to stop the project.

The government has to plan concretely how the road is going, where exactly it has to be built, we need to be given precise analysis that ensures that this expensive investment is worth it and that they're really taking into account the rules of National Park, even though by rules nowhere in that area is allowed to build. Then, I think the government should listen to us as well as to what we're thinking, and after making a decision to build, we'll do our best not to leave this project running away”, she underlined.

The first Albanian woman to ascend the highest mountain in the world has said that the section of Mount Sharr should be protected, not destroyed, even more, as is being done every day with construction.

I spend a lot of time in the mountains of Sharr and I think that despite the degradation of the destruction that is done every day with the construction of trees, waste, plant construction, where our country doesn't do anything to protect it, they're often part of it.”, it's expressed.

Abraham showed that he had started a project Run for Sharr?In which the injuries to this park will be presented.

I joined the Utalaya Foundation six months ago in a campaign in collaboration with WWF and UNKT, Run for Sharr. And we're at the end of the documentary, which we're going to show in November, and in this case we're constantly bringing in information about the mountains of Sharr and the destruction that is done to”, she said of Periscope.

The Prizren-Tetovo road will cost Kosovo's budget more than 150m euros.

Otherwise, the approval of the Government for the construction of Prizren-Tetova Street was met with many reactions opposing the construction of this segment./Periscopi/
