Political situation of 90s caused decline of the sector and decrease in the number of tourists. After 1999 war country ended up with a greatly damaged infrastructure. Due to the post-conflict context, Kosovo has been perceived an unsafe place to visit. These images continued to be perceived especially for the rural areas due to the poor living conditions and opportunities for economic growth. During the last years, tourism related investments mainly concentrated in urban centers, private sector investments in accommodation facilities and services. INTRODUCTION Rural space of Kosovo – geographical context Rural Area – an area characterized with a low level of construction, population density and technical, public and social infrastructure, and of employment through development of agriculture, rural tourism, healing centers and of manufacturing that doesn’t pollute the surrounding environment. (Law on Spatial Planning) Kosovo has cca. 11 thousand km2 and a population density of 164 inhabitants per km2. Kosovo has seven regions, 38 municipalities, 1469 settlements (geographical units) including cities and villages. Urban / rural population ratio is cca. 40 / 60 The agricultural surface is 512,000 ha (with a total of 130,662 agricultural holdings). Around 53% of the land in Kosovo is agricultural (88% is privatized land, 12% is social land, within agricultural enterprises and cooperatives) Rural areas of Kosovo – socio-economic context 1/2 Kosovo has 1.9 million inhabitants with a population density of 164 inhabitants per km2 Population age structure (The average age in 2011 was 30,2 years) 0-14 years: 25.01% 15-24 years: 17.22% 25-54 years: 42.57% 55-64 years: 7.92% 65 years and over: 7.28% About 30% of the population below the poverty line. The average annual per capita income in Kosovo is just €3,000, while the average annual income in the public sector is almost €4,000. Unemployment is a significant problem that encourages outward migration and a significant informal, unreported economy. Kosovo’s unemployment rate between 2001 and 2015 averaged 43%. The unemployment rate is projected to trend around 27.5% in 2020. Rural areas of Kosovo – socio-economic context 2/2 Employment in 2017 was 357,095 persons / Employment rate 29.8%. Unemployment in 2017 was 156,583 people / Unemployment rate 30,5% The average life expectancy in Kosovo in 2011 is estimated to be 76.7 years, for men 74.1 years, and for females 79.4 years The number of employees in the public sector in 2017 was 81,466 persons. The average net wage in the public sector in 2017 was € 452. The number of local and foreign visitors in 2017 was 34.569 local visitors and 86.032 foreign visitors. The overnight stays in 2017 were 192.847 nights. Rural economy of Kosovo – importance of diversification 1/3 54% of Kosovo’s total area is agricultural land, 60% of the population live in rural parts of the country, the majority of which depends on agricultural The contribution of the agricultural to GDP is 10%, while Kosovo’s trade balance shows an extraordinary deficit (imports around 10% of exports) most of the agricultural supply chains were broken down during 1990s and were never re-activated land fragmentation – 80% of farms are between 0.5 and 2.0 ha in size. farmers are usually not organized, operate with little technical expertise, poor use of modern inputs and limited access to finance. lack of processing capacities. low productivity, weak supply of agricultural products, high dependence on food imports Rural economy of Kosovo – importance of diversification 2/3 Economic activity growing steadily since 2015, but constrained by a narrow production base and significant underutilization of labour. In recent years, the economy has been driven by public investment in infrastructure and private consumption (the latter financed by large remittances Economic diversification is proceeding slowly, especially in the rural areas of the country Services exports continued to grow, mainly linked to tourism spending by the diaspora. Rural economy of Kosovo – importance of diversification 3/3 Kosovo Government Programme 2017-2021 and Kosovo Private Sector Development Strategy 2018-2022 The main pillars of the Kosovo tourism product are: cultural tourism mountain and alpine tourism rural tourism, ecological tourism, agro-tourism active, adventurous and alternative tourism cross-border travelling business and conference tourism. Rural tourism is considered to be one of the priorities for development of Government as stated also in the Government Program 2017-2021.

  • Drin Project
    Call for Expressions of Interest: Final evaluation of the project ‘Design and testing of a multipurpose (transboundary) groundwater monitoring network (Albania & Montenegro)” (Submission deadline: 28 October 2020) The Antenna in Sarajevo of the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe, is seeking expressions of interest from qualified and experienced individuals, to carry out the final evaluation of the project entitled ‘Design and testing of a multipurpose (transboundary) groundwater monitoring network (Albania and Montenegro)” I. Background Brief description of the project: 1.1 Drin Project Setting out from the two Prespa Lakes, linked to each other by a small channel, water flows through underground karst cavities to Lake Ohrid, the largest lake in terms of water volume in South-East Europe. The only surface outflow of Lake Ohrid, the Black Drin River flows north through the Republic of North Macedonia and enters Albania. The White Drin River flows into Albania, where it meets the Black Drin and forms the Drin River. Flowing westward through Albania, the Drin River meets the Buna/Bojana River, close after the outflow of the latter from Lake Skadar/Shkoder, the largest lake in terms of surface in South-East Europe. The Buna/Bojana River directly discharges into the Adriatic Sea. The overall concept for enhanced cooperation among the Riparians for the management of the Basin was initially discussed by representatives of the competent ministries and other key stakeholders during the International Roundtable on Integrated Management of Shared Lake Basins in South-Eastern Europe, organized under the Petersberg Phase II/Athens Declaration Process and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) IW:LEARN Programme, in Ohrid, on 12- 14 October 2006.

Introduction The Drin Basin extends in a large part of the Western Balkans. It consists of several sub-basins, the uppermost of which is that of the Prespa Lakes, while the lowest that of the Buna/Bojana River, adjacent to the Adriatic Sea. The Drin River is the “connecting agent” of the Drin Basin, linking tributary rivers, lakes, aquifers, and other aquatic habitats into a complex ecosystem of major importance.
