Nearly BGN 70,000 has been allocated to projects in Kosovo to improve the conditions and development of education by purchasing furniture, toys and school aids for kindergartens and schools.
In the Republic of Albania, 6 km of asphalted road between Bilisht and Varnnik is planned to be built, amounting to BGN 1 125 561. The project should give residents of both settlements easier access to educational centers, administrative services and medical care.
