Kosovo has a duty to fully adhere to its legislation on Special Protective Zones and not to commence work on the road until the bypass route is fully planned and funded – the EU Office wrote in a statement, following the visit of EU Heads of Mission to the Special Protective Zone at the Visoki Decani Monastery, KoSSev portal reported.
