As part of the activities of the “Kosovo Environmental Programme” (KEP), supported by SIDA, the process of drafting the Management Plan for “Bjeshkët e Nemuna” National Park has been finalized.
This activity was part of the third component of the project “Strengthening the Management of Transboundary Natural Areas,” which aimed to strengthen the capacities of National Park Directorates for managing natural resources, increase knowledge and biodiversity protection, and develop capacities to improve the management of transboundary protected areas.
This Plan does not include detailed technical information related to the Park, as there are a large number of other specific studies and relevant scientific data sources. The purpose of this plan is to present a realistic and feasible management model in accordance with the specific legal, environmental and socio-economic context related to “Bjeshkët e Nemuna” National Park.
During the preparation of the Management Plan for “Bjeshkët e Nemuna” National Park, both international and local experts were engaged. Officials from the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure, the Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency, National Parks, municipalities, NGOs and other institutions were also involved in the drafting process.
