Periskopi(3 months ago)
(3 months ago)The company, selected from the tender to conduct the works, is local and under the approved project, even the second segment of the Skopje-Blace road will be with highway status rather than magistrates, as rumours have circulated in the opinion that there may be a change for the project to cost cheaper, say leaders [...]
Both Minister Alexander Nikolovski and Deputy Minister Kaltrin Zekoli had told TV21 that later in January 2026 work will begin for the second segment on the ground. This is an appointed time which has not yet been extended.
“We tried to eliminate this design disorder and reach the conclusion phase of the tender. The part of the tender has been completed, luckily within the pre-priced budget because it was disturbing that part of it will not exceed it and is a really more conditional project in Europe, but closed. Evallation complete! You know we have a grant and a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the last word belongs to them. We as minister have finished our work together with N. P.U.R.R.R., the documentation is located in the offices of this bank and we expect positive signal from them to start very quickly with the works”, Kaltrin Zekoli said.
The Albanian opposition on charges that projects linking with the infrastructure of Albanian settlements are being put aside. By DUI charge V He's not taking precautions.
“Today, we are in a situation where one project is being cancelled, while another project, that BLACUE-KOPE is falling off the highway on expressway, and the V. LEN silences and acts as if nothing is happening with these decisions. They either keep silent or reason harmful decisions, or they act as spectators in their own government. This is not politics. This is political submission. This silence is not neutral. This silence is approval and reconciliation with decisions that harm citizens' strategic interests is political treason against their voters”, Faton Pollozani said.
Construction of the Skopje expressway, 12.5km long, has been promised over the last 15 years as by VMRO- DPMNE, as well as LSDM and DUI, while the idea itself is over two decades. It failed to be entirely built by any government. The first two-mile stretch is complete, but it does not take you anywhere, though it has cost nothing less than 57m euros. Meanwhile, on the part of Kosovo, the “Arba Xhaferi” highway has been built seven years ago, measuring 65km from the border with northern Macedonia to Pristina. The construction of this highway took only five years. /Periscope
