The meeting is discussing the main activities of the Network carried out over one year, as well as the main priorities planned for the future, with special emphasis on the Network's cooperation with the European Commission and on objectives in the sectors of air, climate change, and energy.
During his stay in Copenhagen, the CEO of AMMK also met with the Executive Director of the European Environment Agency, Prof. Jacquelin McGlade, who will complete her mandate in June of this year. On this occasion, the CEO of AMMK thanked her for the support she has given to the Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency during the process of participation in the activities and work of the European Environment Agency. Meanwhile, the Executive Director of the European Environment Agency expressed her satisfaction with the progress that AMMK has made within the framework of activities in the EEA and EIONET.
Otherwise, the network of Heads of European Environment Agencies, also known as the EPA Network, brings together all leaders or directors of National Environmental Protection Agencies or similar institutions of European countries. KMAA became the 38th member of this informal network with equal rights last year. Through participation in regular EPA Network meetings, the Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency primarily aims to increase cooperation with other European Environment Agencies and benefit from their experience in implementing environmental legislation, but also to be part of European developments and trends in the environmental sector.
