SMI unites votes with SP, approving budget of Durrës municipality

The Socialist Movement for Integration has united votes with the Socialists in the Municipal Council by approving the 2019 budget for the Durrës Municipality, while no consultants from the Democratic Party were present.

The budget received 27 votes in favor, thus providing the quorum needed for its approval.

Meanwhile, all items on the agenda were approved, with the exception of 8 and 10 points that were left to be discussed at the next meeting.

The budget of 2019 is about 23 million Euros, with a 5.7 percent increase compared to the 2018 budget.

Present at this very important meeting, as it was about the approval of next year's budget, were only 27 councilors present out of 51 that Durrës Municipal Council has in the total.

The 2019 budget focuses on infrastructure and tourism.

A large number of schools and kindergartens are expected to be reconstructed throughout 2019, as well as some road segments that were not touched by investments during this past year.

The Municipality of Durrës in the new budget has foreseen the construction of a giant promenade along the coast to "Shkëmbi i Kavajës", an investment worth about 4.5 million Euros.

Meanwhile, the rest of next year's budget money will go to the operational needs of the Durrës Municipality.
