The partial inauguration of the non-transparent project
Prishtina, November 12, 2012 – Today, the citizens of Kosovo will be taken over by the news of the inauguration of the first segment of highway Vermicë-Merdare. Certainly, the main protagonist of the ceremony will be Prime Minister, who will give long speeches on the major project that this government has invested and how this project has employed thousands of unemployed and have boosted the country’s economic development.
This will be in the continuance of successive statements of the rhetoric of government Thaci 1, which has continues with the government Thaci 2, how this is national project, that the critics of this project are against the road of the nation, who do not like the development of Kosovo, who do not want the creation of new jobs and such accusations, trying to overcome entirely the transparency of this project.
However, since the beginning, this project has been completely closed to the taxpayers of the country, civil society and media. Although investment in this project will continue to take more than half the capital investment for the next two years, its construction contract has never been made public, including funding sources, the final costs, timing and process of supervision of the works, setting track and the process of expropriation.
Movement FOL support capital investments in infrastructure, but it is against investment which are kept closed, non-transparent and non-accountable to citizens and institutions.
