  • NATIONAL BACKGROUND REPORT on TRANSPORT for KOSOVO (Under UNSCR 1244)
    NATIONAL BACKGROUND REPORT ON TRANSPORT FOR KOSOVO (under UNSCR 1244) Authors: Shaban Buza, PhD, Asc. Prof. - Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Ramadan Duraku, MSc, Lecturer -Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Prishtina, May 2009 Executive Summary This Report drafted for Transport Sector in Kosovo1 is primarily intended to provide an overview on developments which took place in the past in transport Sector in Kosovo, which is composed by Road, Railway and Air sub-sectors. Besides, it provides a description of projects and studies completed mainly by foreign experts in after war period in Kosovo with the attached Annex containing the list of those projects and studies. The Report contains also data on institutional, social-economic and financial organization on investments in transport sector for past and coming period showing in table format data in detailed and easy to understand way. Apart from developments it also provides an overview on transport field and infrastructure of institutions dealing with researches in Kosovo as well as the opportunity for cooperation with countries of South East Europe (SEE) and EU countries. Incorporation of Kosovo in European Transport Research Zone is mentioned briefly due to the low level not to say completely lack of participation of Kosovo by its local experts in research activities in the past years. Thus, local experts participated more in conferences and symposiums of development nature rather than those of research nature organized by regional countries and wider without concrete presentation by them. It should be also noted that some represenatations took place by institutional responsible transport officials in development projects such is in South-East Europe Transport Observatory (SEETO), in International Railway Community (CIT), European Railway Community (CER) and meetings to implement European Civil Aviation Area Agreement (ECAA).

Conclusion 10 Notes 12 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Regional cooperation is one of the key components of preparing the Western Balkans (WB) for the European Union (EU) enlargement process. The Berlin Process was launched in 2014 by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to facilitate this coopera- tion, among others aiming to improve connectivity both within the WB countries and between the WB and the EU. The ultimate goal of which is to improve living standards and quality of life for the citizens. This mutual commitment by the WB countries and EU has been further strengthened through the EU Connectivity Agenda for the WB (launched in 2015), a combination of political commitment and monetary funds to strengthen the transport and energy sectors. Since the Berlin Process, several projects were undertaken or are currently underway. Until 2019, the Agenda supported 39 projects with an investment value of EUR 3.2 billion, grant value of EUR 880 million and EUR 97 million on technical assis- tance for project preparation. However, all WB countries lag behind in both sectors in comparison to EU members’ states. Key challenges identified include low operation and administrative capacity, limited progress and investment in renewable energy options, old infrastructure to demand for higher monitoring and cooperation.

  • Urban Development Plan of Bostan
    Municipality of Novo Brdo URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF BOSTAN Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft Confédération suisse Confederazione Svizzera Confederaziun svizra Swiss Cooperation Office Kosovo Urban Development Plan of Bostan Document is prepared by the Municipality of Novo Brdo The Directorate for Urbanism, Cadastre and Protection of Environment in cooperation with other Directorates and sectors of the Municipality, Financially supported by HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation Professionally supported by “INSI” LLC Novo Brdo October/ 2012 2 Urban Development Plan of Bostan FOREWORD Considering the Urban Development plan as a document for regulation, use and development of the settlement area, in the second half of 2011, we have taken the decision to draft this plan and started the process of its drafting. This decision was based on two main reasons: the need for treatment (protection and development) planned for the Bostan settlement, and establishing bases of a sustainable and long-term development in the function of stopping illegal development, and the second reason, the preparation of this document is based on legal obligations that we had as a Municipality, ever since the adoption of the Law on Spatial Planning in 2003. One may count tens of other reasons, such as: the need to follow trends and standards in this area, as well as the creation of a planned structure which will ensure efficiency and quality for current generations without threatening generations to come. We are convinced that the achievement of the vision and strategic objectives that are defined in this document will contribute in many aspects. I would specify three of these aspects: • Social aspect • Economic aspect • Environmental aspect The drafting process of the Urban Development Plan of Bostan was developed in not so favourable times and circumstances by taking into consideration all aspects.
