Hundreds of capital projects left in half

Lock on the doors of the pre-school institution “Xixlons”, in the capital's Payton district, was deployed a year ago, and the yard was left in this state.

But this is just one of many projects in the country that have remained in half, as winning tender companies are not starting the works.

The cause of this is the expensive construction material for which companies are refusing work, as other prices are found in their contracts, compared to current prices.

The director of this institution, Mimoza Morina-Veseli, has said that parents are interested in building the facility as soon as the building starts, as it has not been planned to last so long.

Linked to this issue by the Pristina municipality have said the new contract will soon be signed and the works will begin.

Yes, it is true that the contract is cut off due to the expensive prices of construction material. So new announcement has been made. I believe the new contract will be signed soon and the work will begin. We have the understanding of parents, but as the DKA, we are committed as quickly as possible to building the new object because it is extremely necessary”, the Pristina municipality says.

And with such a situation, not only is Pristina but also other municipalities.

From the Kosovo Communists Association have said that because of the non-completion of the Procuring Organisation Board, the economic growth of prices and alleged inflation, it has become impossible to complete jobs with preliminary projects contracts.

AKK Executive Director Sahan Ibrahimi has said he has proposed a solution to the Government of Kosovo to get out of this situation, but so far there have been no positive signals.

For this, Kanal10 has requested clarification from the Kosovo government, but during the day the Media Office has not returned.

By contrast, in recent months, many mayors have expressed their concerns, as this is affecting the non-reality of electoral promises.
