October 5 (SeeNews) - Albania and Kosovo signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) paving the way for the construction of a railway line that will link the Adriatic port of Durres to Pristina, Kosovo's prime minister Avdullah Hoti said.
The MoU for cooperation in railway transport was one of four agreements signed between by the governments of Albania and Kosovo during a joint meeting held in Tirana last week.
"In most of these agreements, we have a regional perspective such as the railway project that connects the port of Durres to Pristina and then continues to other parts of the Balkans and Central Europe," Hoti said in a statement.
Tirana and Pristina also signed agreements for an assessment of the establishment of a joint fund for ethnic Albanians living in the Presevo Valley in southern Serbia; cooperation in case of natural disasters and in the field of security; establishment of a 5G digital corridor, a protocol for avoidance of double taxation on income tax and prevention of tax evasion.
