Gjilan, September 1, 2025
Honorable citizens of Gjilan,
Honorable Mayor Hyseni, dear Alban,
Today, it is a great pleasure to be with you in this beautiful and proud city to witness firsthand the work and progress that has been made and continues to be made.
Gjilan is becoming a center of development and a model of governance with vision, work, and dedication, and above all, with clean hands.
In this mandate, more than 73 million euros in projects have been brought here, changing the appearance and the functioning of the city. These investments are not merely numbers in tables but a tangible, perceptible, livable, and experienceable reality for all the citizens of the Municipality of Gjilan.
The three main areas where Gjilan has made significant progress are:
- Education – Over 3.3 million euros for the School of Medicine and more than 3 million euros for the construction of new kindergartens. These investments guarantee a better future for children and youth, and to all those returning to school benches today, I wish you a successful start to the 2025–2026 school year.
- Health and Social Welfare – Over 2 million euros invested in modern equipment, new facilities, and quality services. Citizens of Gjilan now receive healthcare closer to home and at higher quality.
- Agriculture – More than 2.8 million euros invested between 2022 and 2024, with dozens of beneficiaries empowered to produce more, better, and with long-term vision.
But these three fields are not all. Other capital projects are being developed that are giving the city a new look. Among them:
• The FLOWS Project – 15 million euros for the water supply system;
• The City Stadium – 13 million euros for sports and youth;
• Affordable and Social Housing – 4.5 million euros for safer housing.
Then there are other projects such as the renovation of sports halls, the day center for the elderly, humanitarian kitchens, student dormitories, cultural centers, and many other major undertakings.
And today, on this special day, we are launching the largest capital project in Gjilan’s history — the City Boulevard — worth 18 million euros, which will completely transform the image and life of the city.
Dear citizens,
These are investments that do not only change the city but also your everyday lives. Gjilan today is a city of great projects, a city that does not stop, a city becoming a model for all of Kosovo.
I am proud of the work being done here, proud of Mayor Alban Hyseni and his team, proud of the citizens of Gjilan who support this journey.
So, together, let us continue to move Gjilan forward, making it stronger, more modern, and more developed.
Thank you for your continuous support, for your immeasurable contribution, and I wish you all the best going forward.
