Montenegro’s Minister of Transport Osman Nurković and Albanian Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Damian Gjiknuri officially opened the joint railway station Tuzi, located on the border between the two countries.
The station is part of a joint initiative to offer more services at the border crossing point of Hani i Hotit, located opposite the Montenegrin town of Tuzi, Albanian Minister of Infrastructure Damian Gjiknuri said.
Under the negotiation with the EU on Transport policy (Chapter 14), this common railway station is a milestone and the first railway station of this type in the region. This is a initiative to shorten travel time for passenger and off-road trains at border crossings,” the Government of Montenegro says.
