Kosovo protests toll road plan

– Truck drivers from Kosovo held a peaceful protest against Albania’s first planned toll road yesterday.

Local media report that 150 empty trucks from Kosovo crossed the border holding banners with messages such as “We are not lifting borders, we are installing borders”. Albanian authorities this week started testing the toll road, where drivers will pay between 2.5 (R36) and 22.5 euros (R327). The highway is used by Kosovars travelling to the seaside. – AP
