The Republic of Albania Government is currently working its counterpart the Republic of Kosovo Government to implement the plan that will give Kosovo full access to the sea via Port of Shëngjin very soon.

 
It seems that the Albania side has given the final word to give the seaport to the Government of the Republic of Kosovo.
 
"Port of Shengjin will be a general port because it is related to the Durrës-Kukës highway then the intersection linking to the Milot and further with Kosovo. There is interest from the Kosovar government to have access to the Port of Shëngjin,  as has a positive willingness of the Albanian government to make this access possible ", said the Albania Minister of Transport.

Shëngjin Port was an issue discussed for the first time in 2006 between Prime Minister Berisha and former Kosovo counterpart Agim Ceku. Since that time, Berisha assured Prime Minister Ceku that Shëngjin Port will be available to Kosovo.

The seaport has a piers and cargo processing capacity to 3000 tons, for now. Kosovo also plans to buil another highway via Gjakova, a town in southern Kosovo, which will shorten the road to Shëngjin. A railroad project has also been discussed.
