As Deputy Minister Hysen Durmishi said, there have been continuous concerns and requests from residents for the repair of this bridge, which for several years has been the responsibility and budget of the Municipality, therefore as Minister, he said that they have been forced to take over the construction of this bridge which was finalized and inaugurated today.
The value of this project was 989 thousand euros and has been a long-standing request of the residents of Has and the surrounding areas.
