Abstract

This study aims to present the impact of infrastructure investments in economic development of Kosovo. A broader focus will be given to the transport and energy as key infrastructure sectors. In the case of Kosovo infrastructure investments are also very important for Kosovo’s integration in EU. The biggest transport and energy infrastructure investments made in Kosovo are the Construction of the 400kV Interconnection Line between Kosovo and Albania and the building of R6 and R7 Highways. Despite the fact that 400kV Interconnection Line between Kosovo and Albania is not yet functional due to political issues and the last segment of R6 Highway is not yet finished, the paper shows that these investments in a long term period may have a great impact in Kosovo’s economic growth.
