Rrethi te stacioni i trenit

Rrethi te stacioni i trenit surrounds the railway station in Pejë, a city in western Kosovo. Here, railway tracks place the city within Kosovo’s wider transport story and its links across the Western Balkans. Older trains on the Prishtina–Pejë line still carry the memory of a practical connection between two cities. Villagers without bus services once depended on trains for school and work, sometimes paying thirty percent less. Without a broader network, roads have absorbed more traffic, delays, and accidents across the country.

Railway modernization reshaped this setting after 2019, when rehabilitation began on Kosovo’s main corridors. Line Ten stretches about 149 kilometres from Fushë Kosovë towards Hani i Elezit, Mitrovicë, and Leshak. Those routes form Kosovo’s only railway links with neighbouring parts of the Western Balkans. Plans for a Durrës–Prishtina connection imagine 105 kilometres, fourteen tunnels, and seven stations through Albania and Kosovo. At the circle beside Pejë’s station, an everyday road junction meets a railway remembered as a lifeline.
