The acting Minister of Infrastructure, Dimal Basha, has issued a response addressing recent statements made by the Mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama, concerning contracts awarded for the rehabilitation of embankments along the Ibrahim Rugova Highway. The disagreement centers on the scope of work covered by the contracts, which total 4.67 million euros. Mayor Rama had suggested that the agreements pertain solely to the removal of debris from the highway structure.
In response, Basha refuted this characterization, asserting that the Ministry of Infrastructure has secured contracts for comprehensive embankment repairs. According to basha, the scope extends far beyond simple clean-up efforts. During his statement, basha clarified that the awarded contracts mandate the full repair of embankments spanning three distinct segments of the major thoroughfare.
He directly countered the narrative presented by rama, stating that the projects are fundamentally about structural rehabilitation rather than mere debris removal, a claim he suggested was being used to misrepresent the scale of the infrastructure investment. The exchange highlights a public disagreement regarding the nature and necessity of the repair work. Basha maintained that the Ministry’s actions are focused on executing complete repair projects across the designated sections of the highway.
These statements provide a detailed counter-argument to the claims made by rama, reaffirming the Ministry’s commitment to comprehensive infrastructure restoration.
