Road to Nowhere
| 13 July 2009 | By Lawrence Marzouk

The ‘Patriotic Highway’, connecting landlocked Kosovo to Albania’s Adriatic coast, has been the talk of Pristina for months.

Never has a stretch of tarmac been discussed with such gusto, never has a 5km tunnel appeared so sexy. And with some justification – for Kosovars, this road isn’t just an A-to-B, it’s a statement of brotherhood and, more importantly, it’s a highway to sun-kissed holidays.

With a burning desire to escape the torrential rain of Pristina, and curiosity to sate about this wonder of the modern world, I set off in my plucky Renault Clio to southern Albania on a Friday afternoon for a weekend of exploration and relaxation.

Pristina to Durres in three hours was just one of the hugely optimistic travel times offered up as the road’s grand opening approached, just days before Albanians went to the polls.
I had not set my hopes too high, knowing that the road was unfinished and only a single carriageway had been opened – nonetheless, I was extremely concerned by what I discovered.

It was not that the Pristina to Durres trip took six hours – others who had used the road the following day told me that it had taken them nine – but that sections of the road appeared to have been opened with little regard to safety.

The Rrëshen-Kalimash section was a perfectly pleasant, smooth ride, and workmen were busy completing the other side of the road for the September deadline. The tunnel was mostly finished, and the wait for the oncoming traffic to make their way through the one open lane was short.

But it was the first section of this new super-highway, from the Kosovo border to Kalimash, which convinced me to give the route a wide berth until it is properly completed.

It is simply unsafe, and I will be amazed if there are no serious accidents.
In parts, you are presented with acres of tarmac without any road markings. What makes this even more dangerous is that not all of the soon-to-be-marked-four-lanes are passable, meaning that at times you are forced to swing onto the other side of the road.

At one point, the road narrows down from four lanes to a two-lane bridge without sufficient warning. If you miss this peculiarity of the road, you will finish up at the bottom of a canyon.

On another section, the highway leads directly into the hillside because the constructors have not yet dug all the way through. There are no flashing lights, no sing-posts, no men in fluorescent jackets to warn you. Drivers were simply turning around and heading back towards a dirt track 500 metres further back in the blind hope that this was the way to Durres.

The only saving grace was that I made this trip during daylight. Had it been a night, it would have been terrifying.

On my return to Pristina, I decided to drive through Macedonia, despite the journey being considerably longer.

So why has this largely unfinished road been opened to the public when it could have been completed much faster if it had remained close? The only rational answer is that it was seen as an important boost to Prime Minister Sali Berisha just days before the Albania’s critical elections.

Balkan Insight revealed last month that Berisha’s government had pressurised the project designers to finish the tunnel works on the highway before the June 28 poll, raising serious safety concerns.

In emails seen by BIRN, designers of the Rreshen-Kalimash section warned that pressure from the government to finish works in time for the elections could result in a “catastrophe”.

Although the email exchange centered on the tunnel along the Rreshen-Kalimash road, not the very worrying section nearest the Kosovo border, it demonstrates that the opening was being used for electioneering. And it is worth noting that the tunnel was closed for four days the week after I used it so that work could be carried out.

This multi-billion-euro project will no doubt be a great source of pride to the Albania people in the future; it will boost trade between Kosovo and Albania, and be a huge boon to Kosovar tourists.

The already completed sections represent an impressive feet of engineering. The road also links up isolated communities on the Albanian border with Kosovo.

But opening the road for political expediency, in my view, was a grave mistake, and I only hope that it is not a mistake which is paid for in lives.

Titulli i artikullit ta jep pershtypjen e nje rruge te parendesishme, pa kurrfare dobie ekonomike qe "nuk te con askund" po vete artikulli flet per dobi ekonomike, turistike e patriotike.
