VLEN: More than 300 projects secured, Skopje–Blace highway enters implementation and border waits are reduced

In just one week, VLEN has delivered several positive developments, including more than 300 projects in the fields of water supply, sewage and environmental protection, progress on the Skopje–Blace highway, and reduced waiting times at the border with Kosovo, VLEN said in a statement.

“While those who held power for two decades and left behind a chaotic situation try to portray everything as doom and gloom, we respond with concrete results. The difference is like day and night, between a politics that handled things carelessly and a politics that starts them and sees them through to the end.

In just two years, through the engagement launched at the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning by Izet Mexhiti and continued by Muhamet Hoxha, funding has been secured and implementation has begun for more than 300 infrastructure projects across the country.

These include water supply systems, sewage networks, treatment stations and investments that directly affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens. At the same time, the regional waste management system is being established and regional centers are being prepared. According to VLEN, this is the answer to illegal dumpsites and problems that for decades have been swept under the rug.

As for the Skopje–Blace highway, VLEN says the project, promised in six election cycles, is now finally moving from promise to implementation. Financing of around 200 million euros has been secured for this project, and it is entering the implementation phase.

Likewise, the “One Stop Shop” system at the border with Kosovo has reduced waiting times, while the number of travelers has increased by 45 percent. According to the statement, the same model is expected to be implemented very soon at the border with Albania as well.

“For VLEN, patriotism is measured by work. It is not about beating your chest, but about solving people’s problems. Those who are shouting about power today had only words for 24 years. With VLEN, there are projects,” VLEN said.
