A week after media reports highlighted a failure to meet a promised public transport milestone, Pristina Mayor Përparim Rama issued an update regarding the city’s transit development. The scrutiny began when Telegrafi questioned the status of the promised tram service during the month of June. Specifically, the outlet raised concerns on June 10th, noting that the tram had not become operational and that concrete details regarding the project’s timeline remained unclear.
Following this coverage, Mayor Rama published a statement on Facebook on June 17th, providing new information about the municipal efforts to advance public transportation infrastructure. In his announcement, Rama stated that the Municipality of Pristina had provided support to the relevant operators in the financing process. This financial backing was designated for the acquisition of new rolling stock, specifically 15 electric buses and two trams.
The communication addressed the gap between the expected arrival of the tram and its actual operational status. While the city reached the month of June, the promised tram service had not materialized. The mayor’s statement served to clarify the ongoing municipal involvement and commitment to expanding the city’s transport network through these recent acquisitions.
