Railway Route 10 Rehabilitation: Fushe Kosove – Hani i Elezit Section

Railway Route 10 in Kosovo* is 148 km long, extending from the administrative line with Serbia in the north of Kosovo (near Leshak station) to the border with North Macedonia (Hani i Elezit station). Route 10 is part of the extension of the Core Network Corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) into the Western Balkans. It connects Kosovo’s railway network with the regional and European network through Corridor VIII and Corridor X in North Macedonia. Its rehabilitation is the first major investment in the railway sector in Kosovo divided into three phases:

• Phase 1: Section Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje - Border with North Macedonia (Hani i Elezit station);
• Phase 2: Section Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje - Mitrovicë/Mitrovica; and
• Phase 3: Section Mitrovicë/Mitrovica - Border with Serbia (Leshak station).

This WBIF grant supported the development of a Detailed Design and Tender Dossier for Phase 1 (Fushe Kosove - Hani i Elezit section) of Route 10 rehabilitation in Kosovo.
