It is projected to cost around €260 million. The motorway links the capital Pristina with the Serbian border at Dheu i Bardhë. The motorway is also known under the name Autostrada Prishtinë–Gjilan.[1] Construction begun in April 2018, with the first segment of 22.3 km set to open in 2020.[2]
Notes
- The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
