It started to be built in 2014, while the people of October were promised that in 2017 they would have a new Theater and Library building.

The project, which was planned to be completed within 3 years, has no end in sight even though in November it will be 8 years since the beginning of the works.

The problems started in the first phase of the realization of this project, initially with the shortening of the building for one floor and an additional part, which then continued with the delays in payments, but also with other irregularities that accompanied the construction of this building. and who continue to accompany him to this day.

While the second and final phase of the facility's construction was said to be this year, project leaders now say the facility will be ready by the end of 2025, if all goes according to plan.

"Actually, we don't have a budget cut, and that's how the work has started on the Theater in the second phase, and as the works are going, I expect that the year 2025, i.e. the end of 2025, according to the contract, the new Theater will be finished, so we will have a super modern building like the Octobers deserve it", said Arlind Huseini, Project Manager.

In addition to the delays for the start of the second phase, the project for a period was also the subject of an investigation by the Financial Police, but this institution did not clarify what was found by the investigation.

The delays of about a decade in the construction of the new building of the Theater and Library of Tetovo, complicates the work of the Library of Tetovo, which is squeezed into a very narrow space and without any minimum conditions to function.

"There is no space to help us as a library because the building has so much space.

They tell us that there will be space when the new facility will be built and they keep this as an alibi, while to be honest, the conditions here are not even five percent to function as a library and a warehouse for book maintenance," said Mahi Murtezani. , Tetova Library.

The actors of the Tetovo Theater have the same problem.

Rehearsals are performed in poor conditions, in improvised halls and lack of necessary conditions.

The foundation stone of the Tetovo Theater and Library building was laid on November 28, 2014. /Alsat/
