The Baseline Study evaluates the existing socio-economic conditions, disparities and potentials for development of the Region whilst the Strategic and Action Plan present the strategic framework of directions for development. The paper is mutually developed by the regional stakeholders through utilization of the ABD approach. The ABD approach was applied in order to determine particular problems and challenges that are present in the Region and to design strategic goals and actions that will help to overcome the development barriers and restrictions. The achievement of the strategic goals can be done through utilization of the endogenous approach and through joint cooperation between the regional stakeholders. Sharra Mountain Region is one of the cross – border areas selected by the SWG Board. The region is placed on a territory that belongs to three states: FYR of Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo. Geographically, the area is positioned in the north-western part of Macedonia, southern part of Kosovo and north-east part of Albania. Two municipalities from Macedonia (Jegunovce and Tearce), three from Kosovo (Shtrpce, Prizren and Dragash) and the District of Kukes from Albania (District of Kukes consists of one urban and fourteen rural municipalities) are representing the region. In accordance to the above mentioned ABD criteria and indicators considered in the selection of the regions, they have the necessary characteristics to create cross-border area for common development. The Sharra Mountain cross-border region has specific and common characteristics in terms of advantages: wealth of natural resources and biodiversity, clean environment and big agricultural potentials. The municipalities are all settled on the massive of the Sharra Mountain and have similar characteristics in terms of natural resources and economic activities which are mainly in the fields of agriculture and food production. They possess large surfaces of forest and agricultural land as well as diverse hydro network. At the same time the area has some common problems and is facing challenges with the poor waste management, underdeveloped infrastructure and undersized economies as well as non - qualified human capital. The economy of the Region is characterized with presence of many family and micro businesses. They are mainly operating in the fields of agriculture or trade and do have weak capacities to generate bigger income and employment. There are a few crucial economic sectors that form the essence of the economic activity in the Shara cross-border area. They are: agriculture, livestock breeding, trade, catering services and tourism. 5 The overall population of the Region is 321.437 citizens and is mainly characterized with population aged between 15-64 years. As such this is one of the “youngest” areas compared to the rest of the assessed regions by the ABD. More than 35 % of this population is unemployed. This population considers being labour force, and for that the potential, in terms of quantity, for economic development of the region is very high. However, this potential can be engaged if developmental activities occur. The local labour force requires further capacity building and vocational trainings, but the region has not adequate capacities to undertake such activities without external assistance. The Strategic and Action plan for development of Sharra cross- border Region provides recommendations for sustainable and shared development of the area. The document aims towards achievement of a balanced and sustainable development by the accomplishment of three fundamental goals: • economic and social cohesion; • conservation and management of natural resources and the cultural heritage; and • more balanced competitiveness of the area. The core of the Strategy is the principle of securing a better quality of life for the citizens, by seeking to meet the four objectives of sustainable development: • Successful protection of the environment; • Sustainable use of natural resources; • Improvement of economic growth and employment • Social protection and progress which appreciates the needs of everyone. The Strategic Plan has five priority areas which were identified by the Regional Stakeholders Group: 1. Environment 2. Regional Economy 3. Tourism and Culture 4. Regional Infrastructure 5. Agriculture and Rural Development Each priority area has its strategic goals and their corresponding objectives and activities. All of them are interdependent and brought into a high correlation, thus complying with the multi-sector nature of ABD. 6 INTRODUCTION The Baseline study and strategic plan for development of the cross-border region of Sharra Mountain is a programming document that evaluates the current situation related to socio-economic conditions, disparities and potentials for development within the region, through applying the ABD approach. The document was developed in six chapters that provide picture of the region characteristics. The first chapter of the document (Chapter 1) elaborates the applied Area Based Development (ABD) criteria. The second chapter (Chapter 2) gives view of the geographical area covered by the Sharra region, its land composition and natural- geographical resources. Chapter 3 provides quantified description of the current situation. It contains detailed analyses of different socio-economic sectors in the region, identifying its shortcomings, disparities and potentials for development that are present in the region. This chapter also provides information about national and international donor programmes as well as activities undertaken in order to improve economies and living conditions in the region. The forth chapter (Chapter 4) describes the overall strategic planning process, defines the strategic plan for development of the targeted area including description of the overall strategic planning process, the Vision of the strategic plan, the chosen priority areas, the potential and critical needs for development and the SWOT analysis. The chapter provides information about strategic goals, objectives and activities for each priority area and gives an overview of the stakeholder structure, describing the structure of stakeholder – working group, including its authorization for the consultations and adoption of the strategy, and the support during the process of its implementation. Chapter 5 delivers the Action Plan. The last chapter (Chapter 6) gives summery of the publicity and visibility measures required for implementing the strategy. It also includes guidance that will ensure proper publication of the document and that actions described will reach the target groups (potential beneficiaries) One of the cross-border areas selected by the SWG Board for identifying the potentials of cross- border cooperation is the Shara Mountain cross-border region. This region is placed on territory that belongs to three states: FYR of Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo.

It analyses what has happened during the past five weeks, anticipates what may happen next, and describes the dilemma the international community faces if it is to improve the prospects of averting an open ethnic war.

  • Social Conflicts, Changing Identities and Everyday Strategies of Survival in Macedonia on the Eve of the Collapse of Ottoman Central Power (1903–1912)
    Gábor Demeter and Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics Social Conflicts, Changing Identities and Everyday Strategies of Survival in Macedonia on the Eve of the Collapse of Ottoman Central Power (1903–1912) Summary The present study aims to identify certain social dividing lines, fractures and motivations that accelerated the rise in political murders and everyday violence after the Ilinden Uprising. The contribution of foreign intervention (including both the attempts of the great powers to settle the question and the propagandistic activity of neighboring small states) and local traditions (customs) to the nature and extent of violence are also investigated. The authors will also consider the shift in the support policy of neighboring small states from construction to destruction—including the issues of economic benefit and local acceptance at a time when selection of an identity no longer entailed only advantages, but imposed threats as well. During this period the boundaries between the various types of violent action triggered either by religious and school conflict or customs gradually faded, while Chetas became highly organized and self-subsistent through cultivation and smuggling of opium and tobacco and expropriation of state and private property. In order to trace the territorial and cultural patterns of violence as well as specific and general motives, the authors conducted a statistical analysis of quantitative data regarding victims and perpetrators. The study is based on the comparison of Austrian and Bulgarian archival sources in order to check the reliability of data. The study area—the Sanjak of Skopje in Kosovo—is suitable for examining problems related to the birth of modern nations: the ethnic and religious diversity of this sanjak makes it possible to investigate both the tensions that existed within and between the Eastern Orthodox and Muslim religious communities as well as the impact of small states with territorial pretensions on this region.
