Strategy , 2015 should be recycled or composted 25% of the amount of waste collected and in 2020 the figure should reach 50% . Therefore, in district of Kukes amount of waste to be recycled and composted by policies must be as follows: 3,570 tons by 2015 (1.902 tons of composted and recycled 1,668 tons) 7,725 tons by 2020 (4.130 tons of composted and recycled 3,622 tons) o Joining an existing regional integrated solid waste management system in “2018” years, if applicable / investing in a regional sanitary landfill on the territory of the municipality o Closing and remediating existing non-compliant municipal landfills and dumpsites in “2020” years o Investing in waste recycling / recovery facilities (e.g. composting, sorting etc.) o In the long term expected to be constructed landfill, transfer stations and centers for sharing recyclable waste and composting infrastructure for organic. o There isn`t any municipal SWM plan o With the new territorial division of municipalities of Kukes will develop local plans for their territory.

The company serves 2694 clients of different categories (private households, institutions, facilities, apartments, villages). On average only 59% of the bills are paid • • The collection of waste from households, shops and institutions takes place without primary separation of waste, (organic waste, metal, glass, paper, or hazardous waste like batteries, medicines etc.) • • Waste transportation does not undergo any preliminary treatment, so the collected volume goes straight to landfill. The only official landfill site in Dragash/Dragaš municipality is near Brezne/Brezna village, 12 km from Dragash/Dragaš town on the way to Prizren, in a place called “Trokon”. The monthly capacity of this landfill site is 20 tonnes. • Waste collection services do not cover the whole municipality.

No landfill but transfer station in Ferizaj According to the questionnaire received from the municipality the waste is transported 50km away from the collection area to the regional landfill in Gjilan Management capacity of municipal public services in the waste sector are not so satisfactory because the company owns a1 truck 9accorfing to the data searched online). In the questionnaire received from the municipality it is stated that there is one tractor&trailer, 2 refuse trucks and one skip truck. Also facing with the problem of debt collection Municipality has 21 settlements, of which 11 organized waste management.; According to the questionnaire there is 100% collection. The main challenge represents the elimination of dumpsites. Municipal plans are to have a proper organization of waste in all settlements of the municipality. The municipality should have a better waste collection and start incentives for waste recycling Rise awareness among stakeholders through various reports in the local media as well To take actions of law enforcement through inspectors. Implementation of national policy and legislation for the municipalities Jegunovce and Tearce, Republic of Macedonia Waste Management Plans have a key role to play in achieving sustainable waste management that is in line with EU waste legislation.

  • Albania X-Treme
    0 500 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Albania X-treme Europe's former North Korea? The Balkans' India? It's difficult to describe colorful, turbulent and quickly changing Albania in a short way. One might say it's an extraordinary oasis in a rather conformist Europe. While before nearly undocumented, Albania only emerges in history when taking its stand against the Ottoman Empire under national hero Skanderbeg. After his death the alliance crumbled and during 500 years of Ottoman occupation the predominant religion changed to the Islamic faith. Only in few areas in the North, which we’re going to visit, the Catholic Church remained present, resisting every ruler and even Enver Hoxha’s regime. During the communist period, Albania was almost completely closed off from the rest of the world and this way preserved in an early 20th century state, only released to the public after the collapse of communism in the early 90s. Now, 20 years after its opening, Albania is calling the world to discover its natural glamour and authentic culture. No surprise that is was chosen the top country to visit in 2011 by Lonely Planet. This tour is created for very fit and experienced hikers who are up for the challenge of crossing Albania's Accursed Mountains from West to East on foot, while being able to enjoy stunning views and the famous highlanders' hospitality on an 8-day itinerary. Average daily walking time: 7 hours The itinerary covers the Albanian Alps, including the valleys of Kelmend, Shala and Valbona. It starts with picturesque mountain ranges around Lepushe and Nikc, takes you to the remote villages of Thethi and Valbona, continues with a boat ride over the scenic Lake Komani and ends in bustling Tirana.

    STATE, LAW, AND REVOLUTION: AGRARIAN POWER AND THE NATIONAL STATE IN ALBANIA, 1850-1945 by Besnik Pula A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor George P. Steinmetz, Chair Professor Howard A. Kimeldorf Professor Margaret R. Somers Professor Ronald Grigor Suny Professor Michael D. Kennedy, Brown University © Besnik Pula 2011 DEDICATION To my wife, Shpresa. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As I ponder all the individuals that have had a role in making this dissertation see the light of day, I realize how difficult it is to properly recount the numerous ways and uncountable acts, large and small, with which others have shaped, supported, and directly or indirectly helped me arrive at this finished product. I was extremely fortunate to have had a group of exceptional historical social scientists as members of my committee, whose support carried me from my early days as a graduate student at Michigan through the years of research and writing of this dissertation. All these individuals have made tremendous efforts in giving me the best training a rookie graduate student in sociology can get. I can only hope to live up to the high standards they have set. My principal advisor, George Steinmetz, has played an enormous intellectual and mentoring role not only during the research and writing of this dissertation, but during my entire graduate career. George was patient enough to stick with me as I scrapped my original dissertation topic to end up working on the one here.

It reflects events he lived through, his personal impressions, and gives conclusions, which provide lessons for all periods, drawn from the hostile activity carried out openly or behind the scenes, against our National Liberation Movement, our people's revolution and socialist Albania by the Anglo-American bourgeoisie. It brings out clearly the clash between the diabolical plans, attempts, manoeuvres and concrete activities of Anglo-American imperialism to put Albania under its sway, on the one hand, and the vigilance, the blow for blow struggle of the Communist Party of Albania and its General Secretary, the leader of the Army and the National Liberation Front and the whole patriotic Alba• nian people, Comrade Enver Hoxha, on the other hand, to discover, unmask, defeat and destroy the imperialist strategy and tactics in regard to Albania. These memoirs now being published, were written in 1975. The book is available in Albanian and several foreign languages. 3 I A LITTLE HISTORY Albania — a token for barter for the «Brit- ish Lion».

For instance, the allocation of health and social care funding, housing, roads, water and sewerage and the provision and maintenance of schools have all distinctive aspects in urban and rural areas. Employment for urban and rural population has different features as well. In Albania, as in most other countries, it is difficult to distinguish exactly the urban population from the rural one. Even though not always reflecting what is certainly urban or rural, in Albania, the administrative definition based on the law is used also for statistical purposes. However, the present availability of small-area data derived from the 2011 population and housing census covering the entire territory of the country, has made possible an attempt to introduce also in Albania new definitions and classifications of urban and rural areas for statistical purposes.
