with the
customs edifices will be located in front of bridges (the same way
they were located during the Albanian Kingdom period).
Besides avoiding expenses on surrounding “fences”, the
problem of building an infrastructure, communicating with European
markets and beyond, will be also solved without the need to spend
any financial capital.
The water transportation across the Lake (13 meters deep),
between Shkodra-free zone and the neighbour Republic of
Montenegro, can start immediately. Considering the fact that
the lake

short time to all the European, and other markets.
Some well-known Montenegrin companies have already
offered to provide not only these services, but also passengers’
transportation.
We are talking about putting into use ships, ferries,
tow-boats and other special units for these kinds of transportation.
During the 1992-1998 periods,
the city inhabitants have not
used
so much the primitive centripetal Albanian routes. They

to survive mainly due to the intensification of the land and
water (across the Lake) centrifugal traffic towards Montenegro.
Thanks to the in-between borders trade, in the last
years, it was

components, officially started only during the reigning of King

and interrupted in 1948 after the full closure of the communist

Waiting for the construction of the infrastructure we actually
lack, it would also be a mistake to refuse the offers for the
hydroplane transportation on the lake made by some German
companies, which consider the Shkodra lake as an
