UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. E.03-II-E.21 ISBN 92-1-116836-8 ISSN 1020-4563 iii Foreword The Environmental Performance Reviews are intended to assist countries in transition to improve their management of the environment by establishing baseline conditions and making concrete recommendations for better policy implementation and performance and to integrate environmental policies into sectoral policies at the national level. Through the Peer Review process, they also promote dialogue among UNECE member countries and harmonization of environmental conditions and policies throughout the region. This work was initiated by ministers at the second Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe,” in Lucerne, in 1993. Acting on the request of the ministers, the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy, meeting in special session in January 1994, decided to make the Environmental Performance Reviews a part of its regular programme. As a voluntary exercise, the Environmental Performance Review is undertaken only at the request of the country itself at the ministerial level. The studies are carried out by international teams of experts from the region, working closely with national experts from the reviewed country. Through a process of broad consultations, the experts carry out a comprehensive assessment of a wide range of issues related to the environment, covering three broad themes: the framework for environmental policy and management, management of pollution and natural resources and economic and sectoral integration. The team’s final report contains recommendations for further improvement, taking into consideration the country’s progress in the current transition period. The teams also benefit from close cooperation with other organizations in the United Nations system, including the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Bank and the World Health Organization. This Environmental Performance Review is the seventeenth in the series published by the United Nations Economic Commission. I hope that this Review will be useful to all countries in the region, to intergovernmental and non-governmental organization and, especially, to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to its Government, all national stakeholders, to its people. Brigita Schmögnerova Executive Secretary iv Preface The Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia began with a preparatory mission in February 2001, during which the structure of the report was established. Thereafter, the review team of international experts was constituted. It included experts from Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia and Switzerland, together with experts from the secretariat of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Office for Europe, UNEP/Grid-Arendal, and the European Centre for Environment and Health of the World Health Organization (WHO). The review mission took place in February 2002. In October 2002 the draft was submitted for expert review to the ad hoc EPR Expert Group of the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy. During this meeting, the Expert Group discussed the report in detail with representatives of the Government of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, focusing in particular on the conclusions and recommendations. The EPR report, as amended by the Expert Group, was then submitted for peer review to the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy at its annual session in Geneva on 4-6 November 2002. A high-level delegation from the Government of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia participated in the peer review. The Committee adopted the recommendations as set out in this report. The review of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s environmental performance is evidence of the country’s commitment to improving environmental management, restructuring the related institutions and, in the context of its pre-accession agreement, developing new national legislation adapted to European Union standards. However, the report also points out a number of constraints to implementation and enforcement that slow down the pace of progress. The EPR team, with the assistance of national experts, prepared an analysis and offered recommendations for future action in a number of areas, including the decision-making framework, economic instruments and financing, environmental information and public participation, waste management, air management, water management, agriculture and biodiversity, industry, energy, spatial planning, transport and human health. The report stresses that the environment should become a priority and should be integrated into the decision-making processes of all sectors. The UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy and the UNECE review team would like to thank both the Government of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for its invitation to carry out this review and the many excellent national experts who worked with the international experts and contributed with their knowledge and assistance. UNECE wishes the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia success in carrying out the tasks before it to meet its environmental objectives, including implementation of the recommendations contained in the present report. UNECE would also like to express its appreciation to the Governments of Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland for their support, and to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) office in Skopje, the UNEP Regional Office in Europe, the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health (ECEH), and UNEP/Grid-Arendal for participating in this Environmental Performance Review. v LIST OF TEAM MEMBERS Ms. Mary Pat SILVEIRA (ECE secretariat) Team Leader Mr. Ivan NARKEVITCH (ECE secretariat) Project Coordinator Mr. Antoine NUNES (ECE secretariat) Project Coordinator Mr. Jyrki HIRVONEN (ECE secretariat) Introduction Ms. Vanya GRIGOROVA (BULGARIA) Chapter 1 Ms. Vanya GRIGOROVA (BULGARIA) Chapter 2 Ms. Mijke HERTOGHS (ECE secretariat) Chapter 3 Ms. Ieva RUCEVSKA (UNEP/ GRID-Arendal) Chapter 4 Mr. Harald EGERER (UNEP) Chapter 5 Ms. Catherine MASSON (ECE secretariat) Chapter 6 Mr. Michel HOUSSIAU (BELGIUM) Chapter 7 Mr. René NIJENHUIS (ECE secretariat) Chapter 8 Ms. Elisabeth CLÉMENT-ARNOLD (SWITZERLAND) Chapter 9 Ms. Stella SATALIC (CROATIA) Chapter 10 Ms. Charlotte GRIFFITHS (ECE secretariat) Chapter 11 Ms. Sasha TSENKOVA (CANADA) Chapter 12 Ms. Louise GRENIER (CANADA) Chapter 13 Ms. Bettina MENNE (WHO/ECEH) Chapter 14 Ms. Francesca RACIOPPI The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

  • The Implementation of the Ohrid Agreement: Ethnic Macedonian Resentments ULF BRUNNBAUER
    The Implementation of the Ohrid Agreement: Ethnic Macedonian Resentments ULF BRUNNBAUER Center for the Study of Balkan Societies and Cultures (CSBSC) University of Graz, Austria Issue 1/2002 EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR MINORITY ISSUES (ECMI) Schiffbruecke 12 (Kompagnietor Building) D-24939 Flensburg Germany ( +49-(0)461-14 14 9-0 fax +49-(0)461-14 14 9-19 e-mail: [email protected] internet: http://www.ecmi.de The Implementation of the Ohrid Agreement: Ethnic Macedonian Resentments ULF BRUNNBAUER Center for the Study of Balkan Societies and Cultures (CSBSC), University of Graz, Austria This article explores the difficult process that attended implementation of the Ohrid Agreement. It explores the various resentments the terms of the agreement provoked amongst ethnic Macedonians, in particular those dealing with ‘symbolic’ issues, and examines reasons for their rejection. These, the author argues, are related to the peculiarities of Macedonian national identity as well as to the political dynamics in the country. On the one hand, it is argued, many politicians feared for their patriotic credentials if they supported the agreement. On the other hand, large parts of Macedonian society saw the very existence of the Macedonian nation under threat. They regarded the state as the only protector of their contested national identity and therefore opposed the agreement’s goal to rewrite the constitution on purely civic terms with wide-ranging rights for the minorities. For many Macedonians, this meant a severe loss of security. Despite this, the author concludes that compromises could be found which allows for some optim ism for the future. I. Introduction On 8 August 2001 in Ohrid, the leaders of the Republic of Macedonia’s main political parties, that since 13 May 2001 had formed a shaky ‘National Unity Government’, struck a deal which aimed at ending the violent conflict between Macedonian security forces and armed Albanian extremists in the country.

  • Implementation of the Ohrid Framework Agreement…
    IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OHRID FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT… UDC: 316.647.5-053.6:[323.1:347.440.14(497.7)”2019” IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OHRID FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT: TRENDS IN TOLERANCE AMONG THE YOUTH IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA Avirovic Bundalevska Irena, PhD1 Dragovic Ivana, MA2 Abstract: The Republic of North Macedonia is a multicultural country composed of various ethnic and religious groups. Macedonia was the only ex-Yugoslav state to gain its independence without a violent clash within the country or against other post-Yugoslav republics. However, in 2001 the two major ethnic groups, the Macedonians and Albanians fought against each other in an armed conflict, which resulted in the signing of the Ohrid Framework Agreement and promoted minority rights in the republic. Almost two decades after the conflict, ethnic tensions have been limited to sporadic hostilities usually prompted by sporting events and political rallies. Today, promoting tolerance among ethnic groups is one of the key issues in the political agenda of the main political parties, both Macedonian and Albanian. This paper will examine tolerance in the Republic of North Macedonia by analyzing the implementation of the Framework Agreement in the area of education, languages and minority rights. Moreover, the paper will present a research on trends in tolerance among youth from urban areas in North Macedonia conducted during the autumn of 2019.

    Eleventh International Scientific Conference KNOWLEDGE IN PRACTICE 16-18 December, 2016 Bansko, Bulgaria THE ROLE OF TRANSBOUNDARY PROTECTED AREAS IN PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF SHARED ECOSYTSEMS ( OHRID -PRESPA CASE) Ardiana Mici Fan S. Noli University – Korca, Albania [email protected] Abstract: Protected areas are known as a very important tool for the protection and the conservation of nature and until now they are spread out all over the world. The first role of them is to emphasize the protection of biodiversity, especially for those habitats, types and ecosystems of a very special importance and for those that are in danger. During the years they changed some times the approach which is reflected also in the new definitions and categories. Many of ecosystems of the world are divided from political borders and in these conditions they appear to be managed by different laws, rules and management structures. For that reason between countries which share such ecosystems, have been created and designated transboundary protected areas. Border areas have a relatively short history in an official level even though their embryonic origins can nearly a century. They have started spontaneously in a local level as a need for cooperation with the neighbor across the border, and then they have included political institutions at different levels to consolidate the agreement between states. Worldwide, a large number of mainly aquatic ecosystems, such as rivers and lakes, are divided politically between two or more states. People living there have always been more isolated by development of their countries, especially in those regions with historic problems of cooperation and political misunderstanding.

  • The Republic of North Macedonia - a 'New' Country in the Western Balkans
    87 | RSC Volume 11, Issue 3, September 2019 THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA - A 'NEW' COUNTRY IN THE WESTERN BALKANS Mira Šorović University of Montenegro, Montenegro E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The article tries to explain and define political processes and changes trhough history of the 'new' Western Balkans country - the Republic of North Macedonia. It is word about analysis of the political dispute between Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and Greece, from its biginnings until the present day. This paper will try to give the real picture of political area in the Balkans and explore deeper roots of the 'Macedonian Question' controversy. Also, it will give the explinations of the resolution of 27-year dispute, (between the two neighbor countries), by signing the Prespa Agreement. Hence, leaving by side national identity and history, the North Macedonia will be able to join the European Union and NATO. Thus, in short period of time, a 'new' country in the Western Balkans has putted in the center of the regional politics, with clear purpose: promoting ethnic and cultural heritance in the edge of the European continent. Key-words: North Macedonia, Greece, the 'Macedonian Question', the name issue, the Prespa Agreement, identity, the Western Balkans, the European and Euro-Atlantic integration. 1. Introduction In recent time, North Macedonia has hold attention on the regional political scene of the Balkans, as a 'geopolitical fault line' (Armakolas et al. 2019, 1). Nearly three decades, the 'Macedonian Question' has been subject of many round-table discussions, descriptive articles and many analyses from diverse perspectives.

  • Climate Change and Cultural Heritage
    Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning CLIMATE CHANGE AND CULTURAL HERITAGE FINDINGS OF A RAPID VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS TOWARDS NATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE PROTECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE PREPARED BY: OCTOBER 2013 Authors: Michael Schmidt Britta Rudolff Institute for Heritage Management ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The authors of this work would like to thank to all relevant national institutions (Ministry of Culture, Cultural Heritage Protection Office, National Institution Conservation Center Skopje, National Institution Stobi and the National Institution for Protection of Monuments of Culture and Ohrid Museum), the GIZ coordinating office in Albania and UNDP for their reliable and continuous support without which such assessment within a so limited timeframe would have never been possible. It is thanks to the great effort of these and many other colleagues who remain unmentioned that we were able to gather an amount of material required which allowed us to make some initial judgments on potential vulnerabilities of cultural heritage to climate change, to analyze past climate change related phenomena and to identify specific risks and challenges for the future. In some cases essential data required for detailed predictions, such as soil analysis or stratigraphies of geological layers were not available and hence our analyses and recommendations need to be seen as preliminary steps towards a future process of more detailed analysis. We hope that this report will be useful to those who assisted us and can make a relevant contribution to the forthcoming national communication in the context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. We hope that cultural heritage will find mentioning in this communication as one of the valuable resources of Macedonia which are at risk of destruction and decay as result of climate change phenomena.
