Free railway crossings, citizens complain

Illegal crossings at intersections between roads and railways, as well as lack of laundry, by communications experts are regarded as at great risk to passersby and drivers using them. And citizens who use them have expressed concern for security.

Ramiz Shala of the Church of Pec village says about RTK-Radio that there was no washing at the railway crossing and that, as a result, there were fatal accidents in his family.

There's no washing and we're in danger. Three people died on this crossing. There's also a car accident in my uncle's but fortunately he's escaped. This happened earlier but we're still at stake”, he said.

For lack of washing and other railway signals, sorrow has also voiced some citizens.

“Every year at least one or two deaths occur. In the whole world there's raps out here on us. I don't know the train schedule”.

“Security is very small normal when it has not washed nor is it safe. I've seen fatal accidents at the checkpoints where there's no washing”.

I don't feel sure there's any traffic lights or pumps. Even the damaged road is a hole and it's becoming a column. I don't know the train schedules for not writing anywhere there”

Special concerns for communications experts present illegal crossings and lack of adequate signals. Nol Deday, professor of communications floor, adds to the need for auditing on railways and safety conditions they have.

In an email response to “Infracos”, the company that manages railways is confirmed that illegal railway crossings exist, separately in the Pristina-Fush-Kosovo segment. Infraco describes it as an important project for security and development of railways in Kosovo, aiming to keep the project going towards installing 25 louras, which represents a major step towards modernisation and improved security at these railway crossings at the level.

The project amounts to a value of 6m euros, financed in part by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo and the World Bank, where half of the funds come as grant and the rest as soft loans. Meanwhile, we are working in parallel to providing funds that will enable the expansion of this project in all critical Kosovo crossings. Railway transport remains a key pillar for our country's economic development and regional ties, so to meet this potential, security must be our absolute priority, said among other things in the Infrako response.

Otherwise “on Fush rail line - Kosovo Peja totals 77 legal crossings and three illegal crossings. Of them, in two crossings they only have access to one business, which always breaks down, but they're still built by the same... In the Fush-Kosovo rail line, there are six legal crossings and four (4) illegal”, the “response reported Infracot”./Periscopi/
