Meanwhile, we open the construction competition for the segment Milot – Balldrenin the fall and the road Murriqan – Lezhë, which is the segment that connects Albania with Montenegro. Currently, the relevant consultants are drafting the preliminary project, which is expected to be delivered in December 2023,” said Balluku. /argumentum.al
