Indeed, it is envisaged as a catalyst for improving the energy and economic infrastructure of the country, which is already engaged inother large-scale projects.
Impact and local support
The presence of personalities such as Fikrim Damka, Minister of Regional Development, and Ramiz Lladrovci, Mayor of Drenas, as well as the Turkish Ambassador to Kosovo, Sabri Tunç Angili, underlines the importance and local and international support for this project. Their presence not only legitimized the initiative, but also promised continued support, which is crucial to the project’s long-term success.
Economic and environmental benefits
The economic impact of this project is significant. It provides for the creation of many well-paid jobs.
