ength of the secondary network are paved roads. About 48f the total length of the main network and 21% of secondaetwork walks on flat land, while 34% of the main network an

56% of secondary road network located in mountainous terrain.


rridors leading international interest for Albania are:

e Adriatic – Ionian Highway/expressway (Route 1 and Route 2), included on the indicative extensione TEN – T Core Network (PMs WB6 Joint Statement, Brussels, April, 2015), which encompasses the Croatrder – Bar – the Albanian Border through Montenegro territory (Route 1) and the Albanian North – Soad Corridor linking the Montenegro Border with the Greek Border, through Albanian territory (Route 2).s project under WBIF is financed the Feasibility Study, the ToRs of which are currently approved.

e East – West Road Corridor between the Port of Durres and FYROM, part of Corridor VIII, which conneuntries of Central Europe with the Black Sea area. This corridor is almost completed. Works on sogments are still ongoing;

e Route 7 Nie Route 7 Nišš -- PriPrišština tina –– DurrDurrëëss, which in terms of new Nine TEN – T Corridors established in Riga, in 20d Indicative Extension of TEN – T to Western Balkans (Berlin Process) as well, connects the Adriatic – Ionrridor (Indicative Extension of TENT-T MEDITERRANEAN Corridor), through Pristina (Skopje - Pristina - Ngrade), with the Indicative Extension of TEN-T ORIENT/EAST MED Corridor. A part of this corridor w

cently granted by concession for its maintenance and is a good example to be followed in other rogments of our network.

egarding the railway infrastructure, the Paris High Level Summit, held on 4 J4 Ju016016 produced concrete results for Albania. The rehabilitation/construction of tilway Tirana – Rinasi – Durrësi, in a total of 91.5 Million EUR, was one of tojects selected to be supported from the EU and the EBRD. This decisiflected the fulfillment of Vienna Summit obligations, especially the soft measuplementation and the existence of the strategic documents in the field

ansport. The implementation procedures are recently in process.

e rehabilitation of the railway infrastructure sector is intended, initially throume internal measures, aiming to increase the transport volumes, mainly from t

ort of Durrësi railway connection. Albania aims to improve the railway links witheighbors and it is closely working with the Montenegrin counter partners in ord start the operation of the Tuzi railway joint station before Trieste high levmmit 2017.


grant from WBIF of 720,000 EUR will finance the Feasibility Study for the railwe Durres-Rrogozhinë-Elbasan-Pogradec-Lin-FYROMacedonian Border, which

art of the Corridor VIII and Comprehensive Network SEETO. We are convinced tilway line should be included in the Core Network SEETO and hope the stuould demonstrate that.

nother grant from WBIF of 4.5 million EUR will finance the detailed Design for tehabilitation of Vora – Hani Hotit (Montenegro Border) railway line that is the oternational link (Montenegro) Albania has hence the most important one afurres-Tirana-Rinas railway section. After completing the Detailed Design and ESe are confident will have from WBIF and EBRD the necessary instruments ancing the rehabilitation of this important railway line for the Albanian railwa

nd the economy either.


bania is the only SEETO-WB6 country not having railway border with EU. For tason is very important and viable to have a railway connection with Greece t

nly EU member state we have in our borderline. Ministry of TI has applied togethth Hellenic railways (ERGOSE+OSE) in the INTERREG Cooperation Prograbania-Greece for a feasibility Study for construction of new railway connecti

ogradec (AL) – Kapshtica/Kristalopigi - Florina (GR). The project cost is 1 milliUR and it is expected to start.

urrently, a Concession contract for operation and maintenance of the railweri – Ballshi and Fieri – Vlorë (ALBARAIL) was signed on 4/02/2016 and is beiplemented.
