TIRANA, Albania (AP) -- U.S. aerospace firm Lockheed Martin has won a $29 million contract to modernize Albania's air control system in what is the first major U.S. commercial investment in the Balkan nation.

A U.S. Embassy statement said Thursday the Albanian government had approved the contract with Lockheed Martin, which is based in Bethesda, Md.

``The first phase of the contract provides for the establishment of initial radar capabilities in time for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece,'' the statement said.

``It then provides for improvements over the next seven years to communication and navigation equipment in order to link air traffic monitoring capabilities with other airports in the region,'' it added.

According to the statement, the project is expected to generate over 250 technical jobs for Albanians.

``It is the first commercially financed projects of its kind, and it is anticipated that it will generate other foreign and U.S. investment in Albania,'' the embassy statement said.

In afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Lockheed shares were up $1.28, or 2.4 percent, at $53.81.

Ambasada e Shteteve te Bashkuara te Amerikes, ne nje njoftim per shtyp, shprehu dje mirenjohjen e thelle per vendimin e qeverise per miratimin e nje kontrate prej 29 milion dollaresh me kompanine ajrore amerikane "Lockheed Martin" per te modernizuar sistemin e trafikut ajror te Shqiperise. Projekti eshte rezultat i nje studimi fizibiliteti te kryer nga Agjencia e Zhvillimit Tregtar te SHBA dhe te mbeshtetur nga qeveria amerikane. Faza e pare e kontrates siguron ngritjen e aftesive fillestare te radareve ne kohe per Lojrat Olipmike te vitit 2004 ne Greqi. Me pas, siguron permiresimin ne shtate vitet pasuese ne pajisje komunikimi dhe trafiku ajror per te lidhur aftesite e monitorimit te trafikut ajror me aeroporte te tjera ne rajon. Parashikohet qe projekti do te krijoje mbi 250 vende pune per tekniket shqiptare. Si investimi i pare tregtar madhor nga SHBA, kontrata, thuhet ne njoftim, perben sukses domethenes si per interesat e biznesit shqiptar ashtu edhe atij amerikan. Eshte projekti i pare tregtar i ketij lloji dhe parashikohet se do te gjeneroje investime te metejshme te huaja dhe amerikane ne Shqiperi.
