According to him, this is a positive development, as the project carries particular importance for infrastructure links between the Republic of Kosovo and North Macedonia.

Basha said that “This segment constitutes the continuation of an important regional corridor and marks a significant step toward completing one of the most strategic transport routes in the region. The implementation of this investment will facilitate the movement of citizens and goods, strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries, and create new opportunities for development, investment, and regional integration.”

He also expressed hope that the works will proceed according to plan and that the project will be completed within the envisaged deadlines, so that this modern connection can serve the citizens of both countries.

“Infrastructure knows no borders, therefore every investment that increases regional connectivity brings citizens closer together, strengthens our economies, and contributes to a more developed and more integrated region,” Basha added.

Initially, Basha expressed his condolences to the victim’s family and relatives, and then commented on the public claims that had been made about the causes of the accident.

“Dear citizens, the tragic accident of June 14 on the ‘Dr. Ibrahim Rugova’ Highway, in which a female citizen lost her life, deeply affected us all. Once again, I express my deepest condolences to her family and relatives,” Basha wrote.

He stressed that, according to the official report of the Kosovo Police, the incident occurred as a result of the driver losing control of the vehicle.

“Today, the official report of the Kosovo Police shows that, based on professional investigations, the driver lost control of the car, first hitting the road signage and then the side protective barriers,” he said.

According to Basha, the report’s conclusions state that the road had no impact on causing the accident and that traffic was unobstructed.

“The report finds that both traffic lanes were open for movement and that the condition of the road did not contribute to causing the accident. These are official findings of the competent authorities,” he added.

Basha also criticized public statements that, according to him, sought to use this event for political gain.

“Let this be a lesson for everyone that such tragedies should not be used for political propaganda,” Basha said.

In the end, he once again repeated his condolences to the victim’s family.
