TIRANA, April 3 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Friday that several municipalities had made progress in implementing procedures under the government’s “Mountains Package” initiative, with some already advancing key investment projects toward the permitting stage.
Speaking at a meeting with mayors as part of a nationwide “Projects of Albania” tour, Rama said a number of municipalities had met the initial target of preparing 10 projects for signing and submission for permits.
“This is a positive development,” he said, adding that in one municipality alone, the first 10 projects under the scheme were expected to generate around 5 million euros in investment, including from members of the Albanian diaspora.
Rama said interest in the “Mountains Package” remained high.
The initiative aims to create favourable conditions for attracting investment and boosting economic and tourism development in mountainous areas, while also strengthening social cohesion, supporting economic recovery, increasing municipal revenues, encouraging investment and helping curb emigration.
