In order to ensure the importance and proper quality of the drafting process and the content of the Environmental Strategic Assessment (ESA) report of the Spatial Plan for Sharr National Park, a workshop was organized with the members of the Interministerial Working Group. In this workshop, in addition to institutional representatives at the central and local level, representatives of civil society, academia, the community, the private sector, as well as the engaged experts, also participated.
During the workshop, the draft Spatial Plan of the Sharri National Park was presented, a lot of information was shared by relevant parties, and other relevant elements that need to be addressed and integrated into this plan were discussed. The methodology, content, and some additional elements contained in the VSM were also presented, including transparency with the public, inclusiveness, issues of climate change, application of new technology, and gender inclusion during this process.
The SEA preparation project for Sharri National Park is led by the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure through the Spatial Planning Institute, in partnership with the Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency, specifically the Directorate for the Administration of Sharri National Park, and the relevant municipalities, and is funded by the Government of Sweden through the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and implemented by UN-Habitat Kosovo.
