Prishtina Mayor proposes Ulpiana urban project for 2030 Mediterranean Games
Prishtina Mayor Përparim Rama has detailed a proposal for the Ulpiana neighborhood, known as Fontana, to support the 2030 Mediterranean Games. The Ulpiana 2030 Legacy project includes the construction of an underground parking garage with a capacity for 750 to 800 vehicles. This underground facility is intended to free up surface space for green areas and sports fields.
The plan also includes a non-commercial residential building designed to accommodate athletes and staff during the games. According to Rama, the structure will be built in harmony with the local architecture and will serve the residents of the neighborhood after the event concludes. The Mayor emphasized that the fountain and its immediate surroundings will remain untouched.
Local residents have expressed opposition to the project, citing concerns over urban degradation and the loss of green spaces. While some citizens stated they would support the project if green areas are preserved or expanded, others argue that construction should be moved away from the iconic Fontana area. Rama noted that the project is currently a proposal and will only proceed if it receives support from the residents and is subsequently voted on by the Prishtina Municipal Assembly.
