During a visit to the town on Friday they also checked their governments’ funding for a water supply system that will supply water non-stop to the town. Korca and Pogradeci are priorities in German investment and aid in the country, the German ambassador said. The Swiss ambassador said that this joint project would encourage other investment in the area in the future.
