EU provides €38.5m to EBRD-funded railway project in Kosovo

The European Union is providing €38.5 million to finance the three-stage modernisation of Kosovo's railway infrastructure. The project will improve the connection between Kosovo's railway network and the wider European network through Pan-European Corridor VIII and Corridor X, running southwards to FYR Macedonia and northwards to the Serbian border. The grant covers the southern section of Kosovo's rail route 10, linking Fushë Kosovë near the capital Pristina with the border of FYR Macedonia. The grant follows a senior loan of €39.9 million from the EBRD in 2015.
