Pristina Mayor Përparim Rama commented on the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning, and Infrastructure’s recent announcement regarding contracts valued at 4.67 million euros for the remediation of embankments along the Ibrahim Rugova Highway. In a social media statement, Rama connected the financial commitment to the fatal accident that occurred on the highway last Saturday, which resulted in one fatality and one serious injury. He suggested that the timing of the multi-million euro investment announcement, made just one day after the incident, highlighted institutional shortcomings in timely action.
Rama questioned the sequence of events, noting the contrast between the tragic news of the accident and the subsequent announcement of the remediation costs. The Mayor’s remarks implied that the infrastructure issues leading to the accident were not addressed with sufficient speed. His statement framed the financial commitment as a response to a failure in proactive maintenance and safety measures.
The announcement of the substantial funding for the highway embankments, according to Rama, appeared belated given the recent loss of life. The discussion centers on the gap between infrastructure failure, resulting in a fatality, and the subsequent governmental response detailed in the announcement.
