“has completed a study of feasibility and preliminary project for the nation's railway, Durres Pristina. At the last meeting with Prime Minister Kurti, we have discussed the possibility of two foreign financing that will enable the project's advance,” said Rama, broadcast Oranews Albania.

According to him, this line is expected to be integrated with European railway networks, respecting contemporary standards and aiming at electrifying the projected 530km extension.

Rama underlined that the project is part of a broader vision for modernising railway transport, aimed at connecting Albania with the region and improving international ties.
