TIRANA (Albania), May 22 (SeeNews) – The European Union delegation to Albania said on Tuesday it inaugurated a road in the northern part of the country linking the village of Shishtavec with the border with Kosovo in Dragash village.
“The road will vastly improve the daily life of citizens in the region and the movement of tourists coming from neighbouring countries to visit this unique landscape,” the EU delegation said in a Twitter post.
The construction of the road is part of an EU-funded cross-border cooperation (CBC) programme worth 2.16 million euro ($2.54 million) evenly split between Albania and Kosovo, according to information posted on the EU delegation website.
The project aims to promote good neighbourly relations and cooperation between border areas and citizens of border regions to strengthen the socio-economic development, environmental and cultural heritage.
