STRATEGIC CONTEXT AND RATIONALE A. Country and sector issues 1. Lake Skadar-Shkoder, the largest lake on the Balkan peninsula, is located on the border between Montenegro and Albania, south of the Dinaric Alps. The lake measures 60 km by 15 km at its longest and widest points and has an average surface area of 475 km2. It is a particularly fragile water body due to its shallowness and the karstic geology of its basin: the lake’s water quality and ecology are highly sensitive to the quality and volume of inflow from numerous rivers/streams and groundwater. The lake’s outlet is to the Adriatic Sea through the Buna-Bojana River. Due to the flat topography and shallowness of both lake and river, when the river is particularly high as a result of heavy rains the flow reverses temporarily and it becomes an inlet rather than outlet of the lake. Numerous springs located around the periphery of the lake and hydrologically connected to it are used for drinking water and irrigation in surrounding areas. 2. The proposed project area consists of the lake itself and adjacent areas directly served by the lake and its associated springs. The total population of the project area in Albania is about 170,000, living in seven municipalities and rural communes, within three Regions of the Shkodra District. In Montenegro the project area falls within three municipalities with a population of about 12,500 people distributed among 40 small settlements (the larger watershed of the Lake in Montenegro has a population of about 250,000).

The lake’s ecosystem and the associated wetlands, floodplains and karstic formations support a rich and unique flora and fauna, making it a hotspot for biodiversity in Europe. The abundant archaeological, historical and cultural sites testify to the rich cultural he- ritage of the Lake Shkodra region dating from prehistoric times. Currently there are about 600,000 inhabitants in the Lake Shkodra basin, 170,000 of which live in the Albanian part.

To ensure the protection and sustainable use of the lake’s ecosystem and natural resources, Albanian and Montenegrin authorities have established protected areas covering the lake and part of its watershed. 02 CARING FOR OUR LAKE, OUR FUTURE A complex and dynamic freshwater ecosystem The ecosystem of Lake Shkodra critically depends on its watershed, the surrounding land area that drains into the lake. Lake Shkodra’s watershed covers an area of about 5,500 km2 of which 1,030 km2 is with- in Albania.

    Inventory of tourist facilities and capacities in Lake Skadar-Shkodra area INVENTORY OF TOURIST FACILITIES AND CAPACITIES IN LAKE SKADAR-SHKODRA AREA Prepared by LAKE SKADAR-SHKODRA INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROJECT July 2011 1 Inventory of tourist facilities and capacities in Lake Skadar-Shkodra area INTRODUCTION Lake Skadar-Shkodra is the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula shared between Montenegro and Albania. The Montenegrin part of the lake and its surrounding area were declared a national park in 1983 and in Albania a Managed Nature Reserve. In 1996 in Montenegro and in 2006 in Albania, Skadar-Shkodra Lake was included in the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance. Lake Skadar is a wonderful place with mirrored waters, rocky shores and wetlands full of wildlife with more than 270 species of birds, plenty of natural herbs, traditional fishing villages, numerous islet monasteries and cultural heritage sites, fascinating beaches surrounded by karst mountains, various amusing, social and cultutral events. Lake Skadar area is where some of the best wines and organic food in Montenegro can be found, cultivated by the local producers especially in Crmnica and Godinje valleys in Montenegro and Shtoj village in Albania. There are also numerous accomodation facilities, restaurants and shopping centers, on the Montenegrin and Labanian sides of the lake that make this area attractive to hiome and foreign tourists. Being a tourist attraction with all these natural and cultural resources the aim of this inventory is to prepare a joint Montenegrin and Albanian inventory on tourist facilities and capacities of Lake Shkodra area, to promote Lake Skadar-Shkodra as a joint tourist attraction internally and internationally.

  • Montenegro Guidebook
    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

ARPHA Conference Abstracts 4: e65497. https://doi.org/10.3897/aca.4.e65497 Abstract We present the first results of the study aiming to investigate the diversity of the non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) fauna of the Skadar Lake system (Montenegro and Albania), a well-known hotspot of freshwater biodiversity composed by the young lake Skadar (originated 1200 before present) and by its old system of springs (originated during Pliocene). During the study, 8,147 COI barcodes were obtained and revealed the presence of 474 BINs and 586 OTUs assigned to 148 species. Our results provide the first insight into the factual molecular diversity among chironomids inhabiting Skadar Lake basin and fill a significant gap in the knowledge of the biodiversity in the Balkan region.
