Following a fatal accident that occurred over the past weekend on the “Ibrahim Rugova” highway, coupled with persistent public complaints regarding the deteriorating condition of the thoroughfare, the acting Ministry of Infrastructure has announced significant repairs. The Ministry confirmed the signing of contracts valued at over 4.6 million euros designated for the repair of the road’s embankments. This allocation of approximately 4.67 million euros has drawn criticism from local officials.
Përparim Rama, the Mayor of Pristina, publicly questioned the government’s response, characterizing the announcement as evidence of systemic negligence. In his statement, Rama contrasted the expenditure on infrastructure repairs with the tragic loss of life that occurred on the ibrahim rugova highway. The incident has intensified public scrutiny over the maintenance standards of major transport arteries.
While the government action aims to address structural deficiencies, opposition figures argue that the financial commitment does not adequately address the perceived failures in preventative maintenance. The focus remains on accountability regarding the safety standards of the rugova corridor and the immediate necessity for comprehensive rehabilitation work across the highway.
