USAID Supports Infrastructure Strengthening in Kosovo’s North
‘With this project, you took charge, you identified your needs and priorities, and worked to find resources in cooperation with both your local government officials and the international community," said Dr. Michael Farbman, USAID/Kosovo Director, as he praised community members at the dedication of a water rehabilitation project in Banjska, Zvecan/Zveqan municipality. Farbman was joined by Dragisa Milovic, Mayor of the municipality of Zvecan/Zveqan, in unveiling a plaque at the project site.
Earlier that day, Dr. Farbman laid the first layer of concrete to the Annex of the Public Library in north Mitrovica. The total combined cost of the two projects is approximately $150,000.
Both projects are a part of USAID's assistance to meet infrastructure needs of Kosovo’s northern communities and target the municipalities of Leposavic/q, Zvecan/Zveqan, Zubin Potok and Mitrovica. Projects are being implemented in partnership with Mercy Corps and the International Organization for Migration.
