Financing for the development of railway transport - Deputy Prime Minister Balluku, in the parliamentary committee for Economy and Finance
The Parliamentary Committee for Economy and Finance is holding a hearing for the review of the budget and investments foreseen by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy for the year 2025. The Deputy Prime Minister, at the same time Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, among other things, stated:
"Rail transport is a very important program because it is efficient for passengers' finances and environmentally friendly.
In the 2025 draft law, this program is financed with 6 billion ALL, 802.7 million ALL or 15.2% more than in 2024. This volume is divided into 537.5 million ALL or 9.9% internal financing and 4.99 billion ALL or 90.1% of the volume of capital expenditures are financing foreigner.
The rehabilitation of the Tirana - Durrës line and the construction of the new line Kthesa e Kashari - Rinasi is the main project.
The first application was made for 34 km from the Kamza turn to Durrës. We have identified the need to add 4 km from Kashari to the new Boulevard and will be included in this project. The new railways will operate with electricity. Being in full alignment with EU requirements for transportation with "zero" emissions. All this requires a new fleet of rail transport. The total cost of electrification is estimated at 21 million euros, the financing of this project will follow this project, so it will be a complete package, which will certainly affect a completely new fleet.
This is also because the Albanian railway will be connected to the regional railways, providing opportunities for direct transport.
The grant packages are larger in percentage compared to those of road transport.
The next project is Vorë – Hani i Hoti. Rehabilitation of the existing line, reconstruction of 12 stations and buildings will be carried out. We aim to standardize the railway with the Black Mountain railway. We asked for information from our neighbor, as their railway was built many years ago.
Some railways that are not part of the European corridors will be internally financed. I am referring here to the Vlora Airport - Vlora and Fier - Rrogozhin railway. Likewise, the Durrës - Shkodër - Gjakovë railway, which will make the connection with Kosovo, will be internally financed".
