European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi and the Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama today visited the Vlora bypass. The project was funded by a €20 million grant from the European Union, and €18 million each from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The 29-kilometre road segment will shorten travel times to the Albanian Riviera, increase road safety, facilitate trade, promote regional and national growth.
