Kosovo wants a railway towards Montenegro

Kosovo-Muntenegru_Railway-Montenegro-Kosovo-565x376During his recent visit to Montenegro, Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Thaci once again raised the issue of the construction of a railroad that would connect Montenegro with Kosovo. Thaci discussed with Montenegrin officials about the realisation of the project of building the railway from Pljevlja over Berane to Pec. The project, worth 1.2 billion euros, would strengthen both the Montenegrin and Kosovo’s economy. Coal would thus be transported from Pljevlja to Kosovo’s power plants, whereas from the Kosovo railroads will be transported to the port of Bar ferronickel ore, lead and cynics.
Participants of the talks from the Montenegrin Government confirmed that there was discussion with Thaci on the possible ways for the construction of the railway. This project was the subject of talks of two governments two years ago. Thaci said after the visit to Montenegro that the railrway connection is one of the most important projects of the two countries.
