The debate on the construction of the national football stadium in Kosovo continues to remain one of the most discussed topics in the country, involving institutions, federations and public opinion. The growing demand for greater capacities and international standards, especially in the run-up to the 2030 Mediterranean Games, has increased the pressure for a swift and clear decision on the location of this major project.
In this context, the Mayor of Drenas, Ramiz Lladrovci, speaking to KosovaPress about this issue, stated that he has unofficial information regarding the possible location of the stadium, emphasizing that the final decision has not yet been made and that the process is in the evaluation phase by the responsible institutions.
He announced that according to the information he possesses, one of the options that is circulating is the construction of the stadium near Prishtina Mall, however, he expressed reservations about this idea and warned of the legal implications in case of possible misuse.
"I have unofficial information that it will be built behind Prishtina Mall, in Gracanica, if someone sends it for their own businesses to Prishtina Mall, there will be many problems with the law because the property there is very expensive. I have unofficial information that I said I don't believe, but the information has come out that there were requests. As far as I know, the government or the ministry has appointed a commission that will make the assessment and decide, which is from the Olympic Committee, which is from the federation and the ministry. We, within the framework of the Mediterranean Games, were supposed to be and was also foreseen the stadium, we have a signature with the previous minister that we have done and that we have in a signed memorandum for the stadium to be built as soon as possible. I and all the infrastructure that I have regarding the Mediterranean Games, I have made available and I am ready to make any intervention that they will ask from this committee or from this commission determined for this issue."
Recently, the Minister of Sports, Blerim Gashani, admitted on KosovaPress's "SportCast" that currently, Drenas remains the most likely location for starting the construction of the new stadium.
We recall that Kosovo will be the organizer of the Mediterranean Games in 2030 and the construction of a new stadium has been promised for this event, therefore, with the approaching deadlines for this event, it is expected that the responsible institutions will intensify the process and come up with a final decision that will determine one of the most important sports projects in the country. /Kosovapress
