Pal Lekaj: Failure to build Dukagjin Highway, fatal error by Kurti Government

What is noted is that Kurti Government will not survive former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj's plan to build a highway in the Dukagjin area.

If the plan presented comes to life, that highway will not be able to be built in an imminent period, because the government's pledges are meant only to expand the Istog Road. -Decan-Gjakov-Prince. The project, which will receive several million euros from the medium-term budgetary framework.

The party, which has wanted to survive the Dukagjini Highway, Haradinaj's AAK, calls it a great mistake not to build this highway, which they say will suffer a lot of citizens.

Former Infrastructure Minister Pal Lekaj has told Reporter.net that building this highway was the only alternative to the development of this region.

This is a fatal mistake from my perspective, the post that the residents of Dukagjin will suffer. The only region in Kosovo that has no connection with international corridors through fast roads is this region. And the Dukagjin Highway is the only alternative to the development of this region, from Istog to the mountains of Sharr in the south, citizens should take about 90 miles [90 km] about two hours away, and cutting this lost time is achieved only through highway that would increase investment opportunities and tourism”, Lekaj said.

The expansion of the road requires more costly expropriation, and the route runs through agricultural areas and leads through city centres and is not reached for a fast and safe trip”, Lekaj said.

The AAK MP says his party will raise its voice in the Assembly to stop the Dukagjin Highway project.

We remember that Kurti Government has found on the table drafting the Dukagjin Highway Project for implementation of this project more than 1m euros.
