I remember a map showing the future inner ring along with the other planned main roads. But it was a long time ago and I don't know where to look for it. Can somebody direct me to it or repost it?

The second picture is actually from the WTC website...so it must be a sure thing......You can tell also from the article...that it is a sure thing.

no commment yet on this big news:( lol

That looks pretty awesome !! And only 2 years to be completed? ! :cheers:

How tall is this tower going to be?

My house is in the same street as Ekrem LLuka's (Karagaq, Pejë), the guy has like 10 jeeps in front of his house, lives like a Don. No but seriously, it seem to be a great projekt, cant waite to see when its finished.

Well it doesnt say how tall in the article...but looking at the people in this rendering...its gotta be at least 30 floors.

Love the modern design, especially the way the glass bends on top... but it'll take more than 2 years to built unlike it's mentioned in the paper

it looks pretty tall in comparison to the people...i am guessing 30 stories at least.

It looks at least 25 levels from the render... possibly between 25-30 levels or maybe more

When they start building it...we'll talk about it. Until then...there's nothing to say. I don't particularly trust these projects taken up by some rich personal investor (particularly when that rich guy is Albanian)...

Ekrem Lluka is one of most rich Kosovars...he is the owner of Dukagjini company and does several other buisnesses. he bought Peja Bier and brought experts from Germany to raise this bier in world highes levels, when Peja Bier is quite good for drinking. Used to be one of most recognise biers in former Yugoslavia.
The guy knows what he does, and I know he is not in the middle of those people that talks and dosent do anything....
otherwise he works and dont talk a lot.... example of Bexhet Pacolli that build half of Russia and didnt do anything in Kosova.....

Well I hope it is so then...I don't know who any of these people are.

Bexhet pacolli didn't build half Russia, his construction company did allot of jobs in Russia. I mean is not that Pacolli paid to build in Russia, he got paid to do it by Russians.

Just wanted to clarify ... and no one build anything major with his own money. It's always bank financing.

thank you for that clairification. I took it literally and i started thinking to myself...how can one man build half of such a huge country? But now everything is fine, thanks to you :).

Any approximate idea when was that old photo of Pristina taken?

my guess would be late 40's early 50's...could be a lil later...but no later than 60's.

^^ That kind of car was not yet available in the 50s, let alone the '40s. So atleast '60s I would say.

by mid 60's, and all through 70's Prishtina experienced the most development....In that picture...Prishtina looks awfully small...good indication that that picture has got to be from at most the early 60's

i like it better before than now it looks more charming at least on the photo.

someday somebody's gonna take that picture from now and compare it to Prishtina 2030

Yeah, the old picture looks better; somehow cleaner and more European. The new picture looks chaotic, unfinished - not unlike many other places in the Balkans, though.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2217/katedraljaneprishtineao6.jpg

^^ I think it needs a better design, this one looks a little bit messy, especially with the clock halfway up there.

I remember a project called international village.

Does anyone know how much inhabitants will it have roughly?

Does anyone know how much inhabitants will it have roughly?

well...i think in total it had some 111 houses....so it all depends on how many people per family....lets say 4 people on average so about 450 people.

@Realek are you trying to make a paralel with Soncev grad or Zajcev rid? :)

Considering what liburni said that project is probably on par with the future Soravia village in Skopje.

Kind off... but I was under the impression that international village was larger. You are right though, it is more similar to Soravia Olympic Village size vise.

Unfortunately not yet. But this project was just announced by Soravia (they bought the land some 10 days ago), so I hope we will soon have some good renderings.

Ndërprerja e kaosit urbanistik në Prishtinë prioritet i angazhimeve, thotë Isa Mustafa

Riorganizimi i administratës komunale, formimi i policisë ndërtimore, përfundimi i projektit të unazës së qytetit dhe rrumbullakimin e rregullimit të qendrës së qytetit, do të jenë punët e para të cilat do të shihen nga qytetarët e Prishtinës, thotë kryetari Isa Mustafa. Në një intervistë për Radio Blue Sky, ai thotë se prioritet mbetet ndërprerja e kaosit urbanistik duke bërë legalizimin e objekteve qe plotësojnë kushtet dhe rrënimin e atyre që pengojën zhvillimin urbanistik.
Po kështu i pari i Prishtinës premton një disiplinë të lartë në administratën komunale për të penguar praktikat e shpërdorimit të detyrës. Përsa iu takon shërbimeve publike Mustafa pret fillimin e implementimit të Planit të Ahtisaarit, me të cilin parashihet që këto shërbime t’iu kthehen në menaxhim komunave.

1. Govt building
2. OSCE headquarters
3. ProCredit Bank HQ
4. WTC 1
5. WTC 2
6. WTC 3

two other decent midrises are

7. Elektrokosova

PRISHTINË, 11 JANAR —
Për projektin e për

këtë universitet.
Këtë propozim, kryetarit të
Prishtinës Isa Mustafa ia ka
paraqitur të premten në
Prishtinë shefi i zyrës turke,
Mustafa Sarniq. “Qeveria e

Sarniq në takim, duke

duhet të kujdeset komuna.
Kryetari i komunës është i

ndërtimit të universitet

Xhami dhe qendrën islame


PRISHTINË , 11 JANAR — Kryetari i ri i
komunës së Prishtinës, Isa Mustafa, iu ka
premtuar të premten qytetarëve të besimit
islamë, se shpejt do të ndajë truallin
për ndërtimin e xhamisë dhe qendrës
islame. Gjatë një takimi me përfaqësuesit e
Bashkësisë Islame të Kosovës, Mustafa i
vlerësoi modeste kërkesat e tyre që kanë
të bëjnë kryesisht me ndarjen e një lokacioni
për ndërtimin e një xhamie, siç e
quajnë ata “të madhe”në Prishtinë. “Do të
gjejmë një hapësirë që të ndërtojmë
xhaminë dhe qendrën islame, në mënyrë
që qytetarët të mos e falin më namazin në
baltë. Kjo është e domosdoshme dhe iu
siguroj se një gjë të tillë do ta bëjmë”, tha
kryetari Mustafa. Në anën tjetër, imami i
xhamisë se madhe, hoxhë Shefqet
Krasniqi, përgëzoi kryetarin Mustafa për
detyrën e re. Ai tha se dëshiron që në mes
të autoriteteve komunale dhe komunitetit
islam në Prishtinë të ekzistojë një mirëkuptim
i ndërsjellë rreth problemeve dhe
vështirësive që përballën të dy palët.

unfortunately no, the article didnt include any render... I dont think this project is even in the design fase yet.. Only the amount of money is secured... The land requested , must be provided first, and then later we will see som renders i believe.

You guys move fast!! Congratulations on having started that WTC...if only Tirana moved as fast :(

I really believe that Isa Mustafa will be very effective in stoping illegal building and destroying most of what has been built ilegally thus far. This will be helped by the creation of the "Construction Police" (policia ndertimore)

Furthermore...the image of LDK depends on his governance of the city and he seems very sencere which matters the most, unlike ismet beqiri.

http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/6421/profisech6.jpg

He looks pretty scary if you ask me... :lol: i had a bad gut feeling about this guy..

liburni, he was in the municipality administration under beqiri period also.. if he will do a good job or not - is something he will have to prove with time.. i certainly hope he will contribute to solve some of the many problems Prishtina is facing...but doing a worse job than beqiri shouldnt really be an ambition for anyone, because to manage worse than that - would be a real challenge..

anyway heres a picture from earlier last year showing the WTC site:

dont worry, tirana has already moved incredibly fast.. plus in 2007 no building permits being given to constructors, no wonder everything has slown down.. 2008 will be different though, some permits has already been given in the very beginning of this year..

Kryetari i Prishtinës, Isa Mustafa sot ka takuar Leonid Markaryan, drejtor i njësisë për koordinim dhe përkrahje të komunave dhe me Tomas Kontoheorgos, përfaqësues komunal i UNMIK-ut, të cilët i ka njoftuar për aktivitetet që nga pranimi i detyrës së kryetarit, caktimin e seancës së radhës së Asamblesë komunale, si dhe domosdonë që Prishtina ta ketë statusin e veçantë si kryeqytet.
Në këtë takim u bisedua edhe për drejtoritë dhe numrin e tyre që do të ketë komuna e Prishtinës gjatë qeverisjes së re, si dhe për sfidat që e presin udhëheqjen komunale, si pastërtia e qytetit, ndalimi i ndërtimeve pa leje, lirimi i hapësirave publike dhe i trotuareve, rregullimi i trafikut etj.

“Prishtina doemos duhet ta ketë statusin e veçantë si kryeqytet, do të bëjmë përpjekje së bashku me Ministrinë e Pushtetit Lokal, ta procedojmë Ligjin për status të veçantë të Prishtinës, në Kuvendin e Kosovës”, tha Mustafa.

Një gjë e tillë do të krijonte lehtësira në të gjitha fushat, si dhe do të tërhiqte vëmendjen e investitorëve, dhe do të krijonte mundësin e marrjes së kredive, për zhvillimin e Prishtinës, u shpreh Mustafa.

Leonid Markaryan, tha se “administrata e UNMIK-ut, ka pasur dhe do të ketë bashkëpunim të ngushtë me udhëheqjen komunale dhe do të shtrijë ndikimin e saj në përkrahje të përgjithshme dhe sidomos do të keni përkrahje për jetësimin e ndërrimit të statusit të Prishtinës, nga komuna në qytet, sepse është shumë e arsyeshme që Prishtina duhet të ketë status të veçantë nga komunat tjera”.

Ndryshe, takimet në mes kryetarit të Komunës së Prishtinës dhe përfaqësuesve komunal të UNMIK-ut, do të jenë të rregullta, thuhet mes tjerash në komunikatën për opinion të lëshuar nga Zyra për marrëdhënie me publikun pranë KK Prishtinës.

Nuk e dija, hera e pare qe po e degjoj.

you are absolutely right...its the same project.. got confused, never heard of any project "dafina" before i visited that website that belongs to "standard" construction company .... :lol: :lol:

the Chelsea point project is my favourite :okay:

together with an earlier bigger project - these are deffinetly my favourite residential projects also... But the most impressive project by far - is the "Prishtina WTC" project which also already has started field preparations...:cheers:

B.C,
Is it possible to bring us some more pics from the WTC construction site?
I'm sure they should have the rendering model posted on a board on site... most large developments do.

Yeah thats a house made out of paper
I have no idea why they made it though

probably some modern art exhibition

B.C,

There arent any boards yet because they havent started to construct it yet
theyve just started to destroy the buildings which were previously there to make place

(you might think (from the photo of the site) that what you see in this photo was made recently but actually that was there for a long time( since before the war) )

btw, most projects in Prishtina just start and stop for a really long time (I hope that wont happen with this projects)
but still I think it will take a long time before they actually start building it



http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/Bi_C/co.jpg

in red thats what I photographed in those rainy pictures above (I was trying to tell you that theyve started to destroy them and not that theyve started the WTC)
Sorry for any misunderstandings

btw, most projects in Prishtina just start and stop for a really long time (I hope that wont happen with this projects)


tell me about it mate... :ohno: same story in Skopje although they are getting better. But we still have buildings started as early as the early 90s which are not finished yet.

^^ which reminds me, remember how there was supposed to be a tender last year for the crappy unfinished building in the city center???

...

Some nice building going up here....pretty sure the facade is going to be glass:

Kjo eshte ndertesa e re e ministrisë se arsimit shkences dhe teknologjisë

What are they going to do with the unfinished Serbian church there? They'r building this new ministry and the new modern art museum next to it...what's planned for the place the church is in (obviously it will have to go)

^^ There was a plan to renovate it but I have no idea what happend to this plan

P.S. removing it is imposible because the serbs and UNMIK dont allow it

P.S. removing it is imposible because the serbs and UNMIK dont allow it

Thats stupid.. It started construction by the Miloshevic regime, without any permits by Prishtina municipality - with the only purpose to demonstrate "serbian power".. It also doesnt fit to future plans for that area.. i say demolish it ! :cheers:

Its ilegal. Its built on the proprty of the University. Its only there to not stir any trouble, but it has no purpose and it does not fall under the criteria of unesco. It is simply an an ilegal, unfinished project which should be demolished and if need be, rebuilt elsewhere to serve the orthodox afiliates.

exactly...

well you can't so might as well just leave it now. you know it will only stirr up shit if you touch it.

I totally agree with you...but a lot of people all around balkans profit in the name of stability, overpowering the rule of law. Not to say that Prishtina Municipality doesnt have other ilegally built buildings to demolish and its gotta deal with this one, but this is in the center of the city, and it just gives the city a ghsotly feel. Not only that but it covers a huge area of land, which could otherwise be used for development or for the expantion of the University.

... Not only that but it covers a huge area of land, which could otherwise be used for development or for the expantion of the University.

I dont think that is coming down anytime soon and as for the university its true that this is in the universitys grounds but its not the only illegal building there:ohno:

I dont know if youve noticed some old shaks right in front of it
these not only make it look "Roma" they also are on the best part (right in front of the RTK building) and the municipality cant destroy these people's houses because they wont accept a compensation:wallbash: :lol: :nuts:

anyway lets see if Isa Mustafa can do anything about this

here are the most recent photos of "Kalabria"

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/Bi_C/CIMG2535.jpg

even though these appartments are new, that orange color makes them deffinetly the ugliest appartments in Prishtina... Why not just paint them white or something - and keep the red balconies as a contrast.. it would make them look much more appealing...


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/Bi_C/CIMG2532.jpg

as for this other project next by: it will turn out nice when finished...

^^ Yea the orange color is ugly! :puke:

^^ thats very nice... those appartment buildings in Prishtina i was talking about, are actually pretty similar to these ones you posted (the roof, the windows and balconies, the structure).. I deffinetly think they should do something similar and get rid of that discusting orange color ...

edit

Tirana syndrome has affected Pristina too (color wise).

They should finish building that church, it's a shame that in nine years nothing has been done.

Are you implying that BL was some Serb city :lol: Before Ottomans even founded the town, the fort or village there was catholic and serbs weren't in sight :lol: Everything built served BL population that was 90 % muslim.. I dont think history of BL begins in 1970-s.. oh yeah, world champions in destroying religious objects of other nation probably belongs to Serbs due to the splendid feat of destroying more then a thousand mosques.. I just dont understand why were all of the serbian churches not destroyed by serbs in Bosnia since the ottomans build most of them.. :nuts:
new history from new nation.

They should finish building that church, it's a shame that in nine years nothing has been done.

Nothing has been done because that illegal "church" doesent belong there
It should have been taken down a long time ago

the municipality can just demolish those houses, with expropriation as legal ground (they dont need to be asked) and giving them marketprice as compensation for the land (if the land is theirs)... the law should be enforced, teaching those bastards a lesson for life, plus serving as a preventive example for others that stand in the way..

Heres another example in bregu i diellit

in the area coverd in red (it goes on) there was planned to be a school but some people built their houses there and the municipality has done nothing about it

The house coverd with black wasnt destroyed by the municipality but by the owner (selatin novosella) who wanted to build a 4-6 floor building
fortunetly someone notifyed the police .They stopped him but the house has been like that for more than three months now

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/Bi_C/CIMG2544.jpg

^^ sooner or later all this crap is going to be demolished, and the bastards breaking the law will lose alot of money... In the cases where they dont own the land they cant even demand compensation...

Në Prishtinë fillon aksioni për rrënimin e disa ndërtimeve pa leje

Drejtorati i Inspekcionit i Komunës së Prishtinës sot ka filluar aksionin për rrënimin e disa ndërtimeve pa leje në disa lagje të Prishtinës të cilat janë ndërtuar gjatës kohës së fushatës parazgjedhorë.
Gjatë ditës së sotme është rrënuar një objekt në lagjen Dardania dhe në lagjen Kodra e Diellit. Zëdhënësi i komunës së Prishtinës, Muhamet Gashi tha se zotimi i kryetarit, Isa Mustafa është që të ndalohen të gjitha ndërtimet pa leje dhe të zbatohet ligji.

Në Prishtinë fillon aksioni për rrënimin e disa ndërtimeve pa leje

shumë e pakuptushme. Prishtina shumë areal të paperdorur disponon, pse nuk zgjerohet qyteti, por e ngulfatin me ndertime ne cdo qosh te vogel..:bash:

BL, you are lucky we let you stay on this forum, so please keep to the topic of development in Pristina

një herë po i rrënojnë vetëm ato të vogla dhe ato të papërfunduara e sa për ato kapitale nuk e di se qfarë kanë ndërmend të bëjnë

They should finish building that church, it's a shame that in nine years nothing has been done.

If the albanian-orthodox Church (NO ONE ELSE!) built these ilegal construction, it could be already finished.

Tirana syndrome has affected Pristina too (color wise).

Believe me: Not only color wise.:nuts::lol:

Thanks BC....i am already liking this new mayor :):)

Rrënohen të vegjlit



Komuna e re e Prishtinës ka nisur aksionin për rrënimin e objekteve
ilegale nëpër kryeqytet. Rrënimet e para kanë ka të bëjnë me ndërtime
të vogla, si garazhe, autolarje, anekse e disa imtësia të tjera.



Prishtinë,17 janar — Komuna e
Prishtinës zotohet se, Drejtorati
i Inspeksionit ka filluar rrënimin
e disa ndërtimeve pa leje nëpër
kryeqytet.
Këto ndërtime, nuk kanë të
bëjnë me objektet e banimit, pra
me ndërtesat shumëkatëshe të
ndërtuara ilegalisht, por kanë të
bëjnë me disa anekse, garazhe,
autolarje e disa gjana tjera edhe
më të vogla.
Rrënimi i disa prej këtyre objekteve
ka filluar të enjten, kryesisht
në lagjen Kodra e Diellit.
Sipas zyrës së informimit në KK
të Prishtinës, Drejtorati i Inspeksionit,
pasi ka përfunduar disa
procedura të parapara, të enjten
ka filluar me aksionin për rrënime.
Kompania “Park Projekt”, e kontraktuar
nga Komuna për të bërë
rrënimet pa leje, ka filluar aksionin
në anekset pa leje në rrugën
“Xhemajl Mustafa”, në lagjen Dardania.
Pastaj ka vazhduar me rrënimin
e dy etazheve të një ndërtimi
pa leje në rrugën “Rexhep Mala”,
në lagjen “Kodra e Diellit”.
Po të enjten, u bë edhe rrënimi
i një kati përdhes i një objekti pa
leje në rrugën “Hilmi Rakovica”,
po ashtu në lagjen “Kodra e Diellit”.
Pronarët e ndërtimeve pa leje,
nuk u dolën në pengesë as Inspeksionit
komunal e as kompanisë
që bënte rrënimet, por fyerjet
e familjarëve të ndërtimeve
nuk munguan aspak ndaj Komunës,
e sidomos ndaj kryetarit të
ri, Isa Mustafa.
“Nipi jem ka dashtë me maru
autolarje në oborr të shtëpisë. Ai
nuk ka uzurpu tokë të huaj si të
tjerët, e që Komuna nuk po i
ngucë fare”, tha nëna e ndërtuesit
Skënder Gjonbalaj, në rrugën
“Hilmi Rakovica”
Kushëriri i Gjonbalajt, Xhevit
Peci, u ankua në kryetarin Mustafa,
duke thënë për të se ka filluar
të punojë njëjtë si ish-kryetari,
Ismet Beqiri, duke e mashtru
popullin me do rrënime të
kota.
“Qe, vetëm 10 metra është objekti
shumëkatësh pa leje të ndërtuar.
Aty nuk guxon as me u afru
Mustafa, e le ma me i rrënu.
Kështu vjen rrënon në tokë të pronarëve
të vet, siç është ky rast
këtu”, tha Peci.
Asnjë ndërtim i madh pa leje
nuk po preket nga Komuna, tha
një banor tjetër aty i mllefosur
me zyrtarët komunalë.
“Me i krahasu ndërtesat e mëdha
me autolarje është vetëm
mashtrim. Qe rasti asht kur para
Komunës ndërtuesi ilegal e ka vu
plloçën dhe askush nuk po e pengon”,
tha Bashkim Gashi, qytetar
i kësaj lagjeje.
Inspektorët e KK-së në vendin
e ngjarjes, thonë se ata vetë zbatojnë
urdhrat nga lart dhe se varet
edhe nga buxheti komunal,
sepse rrënimi kushton, e sidomos
për objektet e mëdha.
“Rrënimi kushton shumë. Pastaj
rrënimet fillohen nga më të
voglat për të shkuar te më të mëdhatë”,
tha një inspektor komunal.
Aksioni, sipas Komunës, ka
vazhduar po këtë ditë edhe në
rrugën “Bajram Bahtiri”, për t’u
rrënuar një objekt afarist pa leje,
për të shkuar më pas edhe në rrugën
“Luan Haradinaj”, për të ndërprerë
një ndërtim sapo të nisur.
Rrënimet do të vazhdohen të bëhen
edhe të premten.

Mendoj se do ti zgjedh disa probeleme me te cilat tash perballet univerziteti, e nje nga kto probleme eshte hapsira, dhe zgjerim paralel me numer te nxensave.

Sa i perket kualitetit ariktekturore te fakultetit, eshte shum i thjesht dhe bazik. Univerzitetet duhet ken nje dukshmeri presitigjioze. Meqen se prioriteti tash per tash eshte hapsir te mjaftushme per nxensat, edhe kjo qka kemi eshte e mir :)

Good updates, nice to have someone living in Prishtina on the forum. I would have thought you lived in an English speaking country though, your English is very good:yes:

Excellent stuff.
What a way to start the new Republic... with a BANG PROJECT like the WTC:yes:;)

It looks very impressive from all angles

It will look great, najs find there Skanderbeg

Prishtina should be like another Sarajevo, just build tall glassy buildings there while Tirana maintains a less conservative approach and continues building colourful and abstract buildings.
In the future it'll be great to have 2 big cities that are so different from eachother.

I just hope they will use high quality cladding :| ..It makes all the difference... this cool project could turn out butt ugly if some cheap glass fascade will be used, but i doubt that for such an ambitious project like this one..
we'll see...

even a boxy, boring tall tower, could look fantastic if the right cladding is used... With this design + high quality classy cladding, it would turn out amazing...

I wonder what else is being built in that location...is there a way you can find out??

I think Pristina will look better than Tirana in a couple of years. Wait a second it already does look better than Tirana...but you'll never beat Korca

Everybody has their own opinion. Who cares, as long as all the cities are developing.

Komuna e Prishtinës nuk i jep leje për ndërtime investitorit të hotelit “Grand”, kërkon shlyerjen e borxhit prej 500 mijë eurosh

Ndërsa pronari i ri i “Grandit” thotë se këto janë obligim i AKM-së, kjo e fundit “shpreson se investitori i ri do ta zgjidhë këtë me komunën dhe ngutet me investime”

Ndonëse ishte pritur që para se të shtrohej sheshi “Nëna Terezë” të bëhej një studim i veçantë i komunikacionit, ky nuk duket problem për zyrtarët e tashëm komunalë. Ata thonë se po presin konstituimin e bordit të drejtorëve, që pastaj të krijohen disa grupe ekspertësh që do të merreshin me rregullimin e komunikacionit në kryeqytet

NOT

Prishtina should be like another Sarajevo, just build tall glassy buildings there while Tirana maintains a less conservative approach and continues building colourful and abstract buildings.
In the future it'll be great to have 2 big cities that are so different from eachother.

Just because most new buildings in Sarajevo aren't nearly as colorful as Tirana doesn't mean it builds in only glass facades (or "conservatively").

Privatizuesit rrezikojnë të humbasin “Grandin”


http://www.koha.net/images/stories/ekonomi/ekono16ja1.jpg

I've been to Prishtina in Oct. 1999 and I stayed in Grand, like any other foreign vizitor back then. Being right after the war that saw it being used as a police garisson (so I was told), the status was terrible.

Did the hotel got renovated and refurbished, or remained pretty much in that staus till now (very unlikely)?

I just hope they will use high quality cladding :| ..It makes all the difference... this cool project could turn out butt ugly if some cheap glass fascade will be used, but i doubt that for such an ambitious project like this one..
we'll see...

even a boxy, boring tall tower, could look fantastic if the right cladding is used... With this design + high quality classy cladding, it would turn out amazing...

Totally agree. Cladding design and quality are a very important architectural aspects of every building, especially the highrise glassy ones. :cheers:

The way it looks now: http://www.grandhotel-pr.com/


However when it got privatised a few years ago, the buyer obliged himself to invest 20 million euro in Grand Hotel... However until now, the owner hasnt done shit, so if he dont hurry up and fulfill every aspect of the privatisation contract by 2008 (which seems unlikely to happen as he is running short of time) - he will loose the hotel and be fined for the contract breach..

On the other hand euinkosovo.org (www.euinkosovo.org/upload_economic/Economic%20News%2022%20January.doc) reported that KTA didnt know of any new agreement between Pacolli, Ejupi and Berisha... Berisha has also been sued by ejupi and pacolli recently, so the court will decide about the ownership..


Looks like Grand Hotel is facing alot of problems. No wonder reconstruction works hasn't started yet..:bash:

Chief of British Office in Prishtina requests land plot for embassy
Wednesday, 06 February 2008


http://www.newkosovareport.com/images/stories/prishtinacity2008.jpg
PrishtinaMr. David Blunt, chief of Great Britain’s office in Prishtina in a meeting held yesterday with the Mayor of Prishtina, Isa Mustafa, requested a land plot for the construction of the British diplomatic mission in Prishtina.
Mustafa stated that Prishtina has the pleasure and privilege to receive such a request, taking into account the support of Great Britain for the people of Kosovo on their road to independence. “I will sit with my team and very soon will propose several potential locations for your mission, which you then can choose from,” said Mustafa.

Mustafa and Blunt also discussed projects which the municipality will exhibit at the donor’s conference such as transit roads around Kosovo’s capital which the municipality cannot fund by itself.

Prishtina doubled in population to over 500,000 immediately after the war as Albanian refugees came back to razed villages. Public services such as water, garbage collection, roads, and housing are some of the problems that Prishtina’s new mayor has promised to improve.

That building is "Hotel Union", and it is not going to be demolished.. But everything else around it will be demolished to make room for the new square..

Another article about the new square, in Gazeta Express:



Isa Mustafa po pret
ditën e shpalljes së
pavarësisë, që pas
saj menjëherë të
fillojë rrënimin e
objekteve përreth
ish-hotelit “Union”.
Në këtë vend do të
jetë sheshi i
pavarësisë, i
pagëzuar “Ibrahim
Rugova”.


Prishtinë,8 shkurt— Isa Mustafa,
kryetari i Prishtinës, po pret
ditën e shpalljes së pavarësisë
së Kosovës, në mënyrë që pas
saj të merret me rrënimet e mëdha
të ndërtimeve pa leje në
kryeqytet.
Pas kësaj dite, e cila pritet të
ndodhë këto ditë, aksioni komunal
do të jetë rrënimi i 16 lokaleve
afariste rreth ish-hotelit
“Union” në kryeqytet.
Sipas kryetarit, rrënimin e tyre
nuk e kanë filluar më herët, për
shkak se aty ka shumë punë dhe
shpallja e pavarësisë mund t’i
zërë inspektorët e ndërtimit në
mes të procesit.
“Nëse fillojmë rrënimin e tyre
menjëherë, nuk na premton
koha, që deri ditën e shpalljes
së pavarësisë, të heqim gjithë
llomin që do të bëhet dhe të
pastrojmë vendin”, tha Mustafa.
Ky aksion i rrënimit për Mustafën,
është prioritet i parë, pasi
që ajo hapësirë do të shërbejë
për rregullimin e sheshit të pavarësisë,
i cili do të pagëzohet
“Ibrahim Rugova”.
Në këtë shesh ka mundësi që
të vendoset edhe pirgu, ideator
i të cilit ishte Genc Meraku, ishkandidat
për kryetar të Prishtinës.
Meraku, pati prezantuar këtë
pirg të lartë 20 metra dhe një
orë të vendosur në të, e cila, sipas
tij, do të fillonte së numëruari
sekondat e parë të vendit
të pavarur.
Kryetari Mustafa tregoi se
projekti i Merakut ishte pranuar
nga qeveria dhe se edhe vetë ai
nuk është aspak kundër vendosjes
së këtij pirgu.
Kështu, ka mbetur që për këtë
projekt të diskutohet edhe një
herë javën që vjen në mbledhjen
e Asamblesë komunale.
Ndryshe, ky rrënim do të duhej
të bëhej vitin e kaluar, nga
udhëheqja e kaluar komunale.
Për shkak të rregullimit të
sheshit të pavarësisë në këtë hapësirë,
në qershor të vitit 2007
udhëheqja komunale u pati
dhënë afat pronarëve të 16 lokaleve
që për dy javë t’i rrënonin
lokalet.
Përkundër atij vendimi, rrënimi
nuk u bë fare dhe pronarët
e lokaleve vazhduan
punën.
Pronarët, si atë kohë që kanë
qenë të shokuar për shkak të
rrënimit, edhe sot, njëjtë i ka
kapur frika se kryetari i ri, Mustafa
seriozisht do t’i largojë nga
aty.
“Kur na patën dhënë afatin
që m’u largu prej këtu, në
qershor të vitit
të kaluar, më pati kapë
shumë paniku, se u
konë befasi për ne dhe
nuk e dija se ku me shku,
shka me ba”, tha Edmond
Gashi, pronar i një dyqani aty.
Gashi tha se kësaj radhe nuk
kanë marrë kurrfarë lajmi, por
ka dijeni që shpejt do t’i heqin
prej aty dhe është në pritje të
marrjes së vendimit.
Por, as sot, ky pronar thotë
se nuk e ka idenë se çka do të
bëjë, kur t’ia rrënojnë lokalin,
sepse të vetmin burim jetësor
e ka këtë dyqan, me të cilin
mban familjen.
Sipas udhëheqjes së kaluar,
pronarëve të këtyre dyqaneve
do t’iu bëhej zgjidhja duke u
dhënë lokale në shfrytëzim në
tjetër vend.
Ish-zëvendëskryetarit i Komunës,
Shefki Gashi, si njëri
ndër implementuesit e këtij
projekti, pati
treguar se marrëveshja
me shfrytëzuesit e lokaleve
ka qenë që me ndërtimin
e kompleksit afarist
banesor “Dodona”, që do
të ndërtohet përballë objektit
të Kuvendit të Kosovës, këta
shfrytëzues do të kenë përparësinë
e marrjes së lokaleve me qira.
Por, planet kanë ndryshuar,
madje as rrënimi në atë kohë
nuk është bërë fare. Tash kjo
punë është në dorë të udhëheqjes
së re komunale.

Përfaqësuesit e Kuvendit Komunal (KK) të Prishtinës, thanë të shtunën për KosovaLive se kanë filluar përgatitjen për ndarjen e lokacioneve, ku do të ndërtohen përfaqësitë diplomatike të vendeve të ndryshme të botës.

Autoritetet komunale prishtinase po përgatiten për ndërtim të ambasadave të huaja


Kuvendi komunal i Prishtinës ndau truall me një sipërfaqe prej dymijë hektarë për ndërtim e lagjes diplomatike, shkruan sot gazeta kosovare "Koha ditore".

Në lagjen, që do të quhet "Prishtina e Re", do të vendosen ambasadat e vendeve të cilat do ta njohin pavarësinë e Kosovës.

Autoritetet komunale në Prishtinë tashmë e kanë definuar lokacionin për ambasadën e SHBA-ve, për ndërtimin e të cilit janë lejuar tre hektarë në lagjen prishtinase "Dragon 1".

"Koha ditore" shkruan se trualli për ndërtim të ambasadës amerikane tashmë është rrethuar, ndërsa autoritetet lokale në Prishtinë për momentin kërkojnë lokalicon për ndërtim të ambasadës së Britanisë së Madhe dhe Turqisë, të cilat kanë parashtruar kërkesë për përfaqësi diplomatike në Kosovë.

Mediat kosovare theksojnë se Qeveria e Shqipërisë sot i ka dhuruar vilë Qeverisë kosovare në lagjen diplomatike në Tiranë

^^ this is unbelievable news for Prishtina, especially that buildings over 40 floors are allowed to be built in Lakrishte !! :cheers: That tower above has more than 35 floors! :banana:

When I was in Pristina I saw the crains working. My cousent is well known buisnissman therem, he told me that some brother from Tetova with one foreign company have started to building one building more than 40 stores high. First I thought I was the place where the World Trade Centre will be build. But he showed me the "Plastika" location for World Trade Centre.
Later I heard the new for a "Mini Menhatan" of Pristina with many buildings more than 40 stores hight.
So we wait and see!!!!

I said it in this very forum more than a year ago that Prishtina has the potential to become a Skyscraper City because it is spacious enough and it has a large and wealthy diaspora. My words may just turn out to be true after reading the news yesterday. We're talking about massive projects here, over 40 levels. That's something you dont see in many european cities and the fact that they're waiting approval shows the projects are already in place.
I'm eagerly waiting to see the development of this "Lakrishte Skyscraper District". It should be fun:banana: :banana:

I know that the area that we are talking about is bought by unknown person in KTA bid. Not far from that place before 1990 were put the base for new RTK building. I know by the people that I spoke that was planed to be one of biggest television building in Eastern Europe. Do to situation the building was stoped. I know that RTK still poses that property.

Im very sure that my cousent has information about that, since he is on that field.
We are keep talking about the "Lakrishte" area. But I saw that Dragodane area is taking a good picture with many new apartament buildings. That field in the back of Pristina didnt look so nice, but with new apartament buildings gives Pristina a diffrent picture.

By the way no one to get suprised. Prishtina now is capital of a country, so we might expect lot of construction in the city and around it.
Espacially the area towards Hajvalia when the International Village is under construction. To be honest Im lucky, my dad owns about 5 hectars of land in that area. Im telling this becouse different people keep coming every day to try and by the land from my dad. So it is big interest for building, hope everything will go under control.........

^^ ok cool... please ask your cousin when you have the chance too, so that we may know something more about whats going on.. :cheers:

I will be in prizren tomorrow and if i have timme i will make it to prishtina as well...hopefully ill get some time to chek that are awhere the cranes are and ask some questions

so you are in Kosovo now? you definetly have to take a trip to prishtina and check these areas out :D

have fun in the new republic! :cheers:

Liburn so you when in Kosova....Im happy for you. Me still in Asia, but I had one and half month great time there.....I was so stressfull to come back.
There are many things to be done in Pristina. The people were not satesfied with new mayor at all, and he is doing nothing for the best. Even I think that things in Pristina are much worse than during Ismet Beqiri time, espacially the problem with cleaning the city.....

Yes i am here...i had some business to take care of. You will get used to asia again i am sure. As for the mayor he seems like passive mayor and thats not what prishtina needs. they need an active mayor, but i dont think hes had enough time to prove himself. We will see how he turns out.

another thing i should add...is that ipko internet service is amazingly fast. I am on my uunclees computer...and its times faster than the 'hi speed' internet i have in Canada

Thats a short trip....I think you will spend more time sleeping. Im going same on June for 10 days....
I totally agree that Pristina needs more active mayor. Tirana was lucky with Edi Rama....

here is one link of architeture studio in pristina, with some projects that they are working on it....

sorry forgot to send the link.......
