Highway to Albania important for regional interconnection ( TV Most)

The construction of Nis-Pristina-Durres highway will be one of the most important projects presented in the Western Balkans Summit in Vienna on August 27, since it should link Corridors 10 and 8, and interconnect the region, the Serbian Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure stated.

State Secretary Dejan Trifunovic said that Serbia is ready for the forthcoming Viennese summit, which will be held as part of the Berlin Process, and added that the highway construction project could be launched in 2017. "One of the projects in focus will be the Nis-Pristina-Durres highway. The three interested parties in this project are Serbia, Albania and the EU, and the total length of the highway is 384 km," said Trifunovic.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said earlier that the government is ready to allocate EUR 350 million for the construction of the Serbian stretch of the highway, the cost of which is estimated at EUR 600-650 million, and that it will apply for the remaining funds of around EUR 300 million from the EU.
