On November 20-21, we were part of a strategic planning workshop held in Prizren, Kosovo. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the future steps for sustainable development and environmental protection in the Shar-Korab-Koritnik region. The meeting focused on defining the next project scope and key topics, with an emphasis on sustainability and biodiversity conservation.
One of the highlights of the workshop was the sharing of results from the model projects, which has been implemented over the past three years in the region. The model project focused on key areas such as tourism, agriculture, and cultivation, provided valuable insights into what has been achieved and what lessons can be applied moving forward.
The partners discussed the positive impact of the model projects in fostering sustainable livelihoods, enhancing local agricultural practices, and boosting eco-tourism in the region, while minimizing negative environmental impacts.
Participants of the strategic planning were representatives of PPNEA, Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania, CNVP Kosovo, MES, Macedonian Ecological Society, and Euronatur Foundation, Germany.
The workshop not only helped to define the next steps for the region’s development but also reinforced the importance of sharing knowledge, lessons, and successes from past projects. Moving forward, these insights will serve as a strong foundation for future initiatives aimed at enhancing the region’s sustainable growth while protecting its unique environmental and cultural heritage.
