The race for Porto Romano failed! Karakaçi: The project remains strategic

The Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Enea Karakaçi, stated that the competition for the Porto Romano project was not successful, as even the last bidder did not submit a financial offer, arguing the increase in costs.

According to Karakaç, Porto Romano remains a strategic hub for the movement of goods and for defense, as it is part of Corridor 8.

"Porto Romano is a strategic hub for the movement of goods, but also for defense, as it is part of Corridor 8. We are in talks and will try to provide a solution as soon as possible," the minister said.

Karakaçi also focused on the "Gateway to the Alps" project, which he described as an important decision for the development of the north of the country, especially the regions of Shkodra and Lezha.

"I must reiterate the important decision of Parliament for the Gateway to the Alps, which is dedicated to the Shkodra and Lezha regions. This signifies the attention that the government has for the north, especially Shkodra. These are investments that connect tourist spots," he declared.

According to the minister, one of the main infrastructure projects in the north remains the Milot-Balldren road, which he said has gone through several ups and downs and has not progressed at the right pace.

"We are in the bid evaluation phase and at the end of May or beginning of June we will announce the winner. This road will become class A and there will also be an alternative road," said Karakaçi.

The Minister also spoke about the traffic situation on the Tirana-Durres axis, where according to him, measures have been taken to ease traffic, especially in the Rinas area.

"We opened the lanes towards Rinas, the first 6 kilometers. I know the funnel is being created again, but there is a change in traffic. We had a problem on an overpass, which was fixed and freed up the additional lane, unblocking traffic," he said.

Karakaçi added that work is currently underway on other interventions on the Rinas overpass, which will be demolished and rebuilt with two lanes and additional lanes to improve traffic.

"For the moment, that road will continue to be free," the minister concluded.

Regarding the Transport Association's requests, Karakaçi recalled that the government has approved a subsidy of 50 lek per liter of fuel, while emphasizing that discussions will continue on other support measures depending on price fluctuations on the stock exchange.

"2-3 weeks ago, I announced the subsidy of 50 lek per liter. We committed to having support measures, which were approved and regardless of the time of approval, the application would start in March," he said.

The Minister added that meetings will be held again with the Transport Association to assess the situation in international markets and the impact on fuel prices.

"Now we will sit down again with the Transport Association, we will see what happens with the exchanges, because there is a relaxation of prices. If necessary, we will meet with the Transport Association to take the necessary measures," concluded Karakaçi.
