Prime Minister Edi Rama says that the majority has a concrete project to build 530 km of railway in the country, with EU standards.

"I didn't list all of these for nothing, they are the works of another Albania. An Albania that has no connection with the Albania of 700 pots. I listed them because I want to invite everyone, you who are here and those who have entrusted us with the direction of Albania, to take these new arteries away from the country for a moment and think about the old road to Dibër. When they said Peshkopi, you were still in Burrel. Run to Saranda from Gjirokastra. Try Erseka from the previous road. I'll stop there, I'm afraid those who are listening to us won't get bored. A colossal amount of work has been done. Let's talk a little about the railways. Reviving the railway from nothing requires effort and patience, but also the country's reputation, economic situation and financing situation, which until yesterday Albania did not have. We don't just have a goal, but we have a concrete plan to build 530 km of railway according to EU standards, electrified in European networks. Concrete projects. Railways Durrës-Tirana, will be the first electrified line in the country, will start operations at the beginning of next year. The Vorë-Hani i Hotit railway, construction is expected at the end of this year. The feasibility study and preliminary design for the national railway, Durrës-Prishtina, have been completed. In the last meeting with Prime Minister Kurti, we talked about two foreign financings. The reconstruction of the Durrës-Vlora railway is being studied. This, too, is something of these 6 years.
We have brought in new operators, bringing ticket discounts. Making Tirana the key point of regional aviation. We were in government, when flying from or to Albania, tickets were the most expensive in Europe. Today we have the airport with the largest capacity in the Western Balkans, we have left Belgrade airport behind. Tirana Airport today has 80 destinations and 27 airlines, processing in the year that just ended, 11.6 million passengers, 247 percent more, compared to 2019, before the strategy we just talked about was put into operation. Vlora Airport will also introduce new aviation business models. Now that it is ending, for Vlora the best is all ahead", he emphasized.
