The government has approved three new municipalities under the “Mountain Package” initiative. The decision was taken during today’s Council of Ministers meeting.

Minister of State for Local Government Ervin Demo confirmed the approval of priority zones in Delvinë, Konispol, and Pogradec.

He said that around two-thirds of the municipalities have now been included in the process. He also noted that the application phase from citizens has advanced in most areas.

Moreover, Demo explained that the initiative supports rural local development. He added that municipalities are currently approving applications through their municipal councils.

In addition, he said the remaining municipalities will be finalized in the coming weeks. He expects the process to be completed across the country by the end of May.

Finally, Demo emphasized that the work continues daily to approve priority zones in all municipalities.
