Introduction
Spatial Planning and it`s importance Spatial planning as a process provides the spatial development plan, balanced and sustainable development, good governance and the protection of space utilization, as a general national value, always respecting European standards and beyond.
Spatial Plan for Special Area Spatial Plan means the plan for the regulation, use and development of space as: • The territory of the Municipality - Municipal Development Plan • Special Zone - Spatial Plan for Special Area • The territory of Kosovo - Kosovo Spatial Plan
Spatial Plans for Special Zones are approved for areas identified in the Spatial Plan of Kosovo that are special features that require a special regime of organization, development, exploitation and protection. Among them may be also the areas with cultural or historical value.
The purpose of drafting this Plan Spatial Plan of Special Interest Area, KLA HQ Klecka - Divjakë''represents a document by which all come under the protection of buildings of special importance since the KLA war in this area (total staff, hospitals, cemeteries of martyrs, military significance points, "Radio Free Kosovo" war bunkers, war refugee camps, etc..) as well as natural monuments.
The process to draft the Plan First steps on the initiation of the territory's proclamation as "Area of Special Interest" for the state of Kosovo, is the signing of "Memorandum of Understanding" between the municipalities in whose territory belongs the "area" mentioned, according to which: "Relying on the role and importance of the war of the KLA in Kosovo, in particular accent on the territory of municipality of Lipjan, Malishevë and Glogovac, where in which municipalities and beyond, has been placed KLA Headquarters, in some private houses in the village Divjakë and Klecka, and in order to preserve the nature of these objects with special significance as it was during the war, by the free will of those above-mentioned municipalities, and active participant of the KLA dated 17.02.2010 is signed a "Memorandum" referred above by the respective municipal mayors. (for details see Annex 1, fq.69) The next step is to draft the Proposal- Decision for Government - Announcement of a national general interest of the area "KLA Headquarters in Klecka and Divjakë" dated 05.03.2010, prepared by the Department for Spatial Planning. In this proposal was elaborated rationale, purpose and legal basis why should declared as "ASI" (for details see Annex 2, fq.70) such document is processed in the Office of the Prime Minister through the Permanent Secretary of MESP (details in Annex 3, p. 78). On date 30.03.2010, the Government of Kosovo took the decision, according to which: The area where was the General Headquarter Staff of the KLA, in Klecka and Divjakë, with an area of 1500.29 hectares in the municipalities of Lipjan, Malishevë and Drenas is declared as Area with Special Interest. (For further details Anexi 4, fq.79).

In the end, the Permanent Secretary of MESP on date 24.08.2010, issue a decision for the formation of the Ministerial Working Group for drafting the Spatial Plan for Area of Special Interest "GHQ: Klecka and Divjakë" (for details see Annex 5, fq.80). Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning is responsible for drafting Spatial Plans for Special Areas and withing that framework the Institute for Spatial Planning has been appointed as bearer for drafting SP of ASI for “GHQ of KLA”, of Klecka- Divjakë ".
The history of settlements in the area This area in terms of historical heritage is still not explored and as such needs to organize research in the field in order to maintain conservation of Historical Retrospective.

4. Population and Social Development Population planning is the key to development in the designated, therefore, to have more professional planning are required number and some characteristics of the population. In the absence of necessary data it is neccesary performing a survey / research will be identified with approximately the number and some of the characteristics of the population of the mentioned area. The survey was conducted with residents and teachers representatives respectively settlements.
4.1. Number of population Results show that in this area live about 500 inhabitants, distributed in four villages Klecka, Divjakë, Novo Selo and Berisha. The area is represented by over 100 households.
4.2. Density of population In this area live no more than 15 people per 1 km ². Territory is mountainous with an altitude over 850 m.
4.3. Population structure by age and gender This area has a young population. In this area 26.7% of the total population represented from 0 to 18 years, however, the age group is 19 to 64 years, constitute 70.1% of the population and age group 65 and older represented 3.2% of the total population. These data show that the best of this area and the entire territory of Kosovo has a young population with 70% of its working age. The structure of population by sex, the data indicate that male gender is represented by 56.4%, whereas female gender is represented by 43.6%. These data indicate that male gender dominates in this area, which does not resemble the central results regarding gender differences.
4.4. Ethnic structure of population Results of the survey and official data used in this area indicate that ethnicity is compact, so the area is inhabited by Albanians.
4.5. Migration of population Migration of the population now represent a multidimensional problem space, demographic, economic, social and political, and promote a range of complex factors and are often linked and mutually conditioned2. The lack of demographic data for migration in general and in particular, that present difficulties on work and to achieve accurate results on migration to the area. According to estimates from the survey it`s highlighted that in this area we are dealing with the migration of population within the territory of Kosovo and foreign immigrations. Results show that about 20 families have migrated to developed countries and about 30 other families in the villages / towns of Kosovo. These data show that 1 / 3 of households have migrated since the '99 war. Causes that have conditioned these migrations are of different nature, including economic and employment (improving quality of life), social, etc.. Socio-economic reasons (employment) are among the main causes of these migrations conditioned to the fact that most of the populations of the area have not been employed and only solution to provide better conditions for living have been migration.
4.6. Education Education is the foundation of a healthy society, which guarantees the future prospects for social, economic, cultural and political life of a country. In the Kosovo education system after 2000 became significant developments in the implementation of modern curricula and improves teaching conditions in general. In 2002 was created a new model for the educational system in the country. The new structure provides 5 years of primary education, followed by 4 years of lower secondary education and 3 or 4 years of higher secondary education. 5 +4 +3

34 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan – Area of Special Interest – “GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka” model is replacing the previous structure 8 +4 +4. With the new structure, compulsory education was extended for one year from the 8 years it was in 9 years. Organizational structure of the education system in the area consists of two levels: primary (I - V), lower secondary education (VI - IX). Total number of school buildings is 1 (one) in the village Novosel (1-9 grade) and 1 (a) parallel to the village of Klecka (1-4 class). In the educational process are involved about 200 students. Meanwhile, engaged in the learning process are 16 teachers, 1 director and 4 technical workers. The pupil-teacher school in these areas average around 13 students to 1 teacher. Regarding the physical condition of school buildings, prevalent Poor school facilities, especially in elementary school / class in Klecka.
4.7. Health Healthcare in Kosovo despite huge investments made after '99 still leaves much to be desired. Currently in Kosovo health system is organized on three levels: a) primary level b) secondary and c) tertiary level. Besides the public sector is well organized private sector in a very wide scale. In this area, health care is organized in the public sector at primary level. Medical services are offered only in a health facility where a medical technician in the weeks and twice visited the family doctor. Health House is located in the village Novosel - New Village, where all gravitate around other settlements. Regarding physical health facility, is in desired condition. Good health status is highly dependent on the environmental factors, primarily by air, drinking water, etc.. These natural resources have made the population of this area to be healthy.
4.8. Unemployment and poverty The high rate of unemployment due to bring high levels of poverty, is among the challenges and problems affecting most of this area. The main source of employment for the population of this area is where the educational system involved a small number of employees and lime processing activity known on this side where short periods of time to engage a significant number of employees. In these settlements based on a survey conducted on 80% of the population counted as unemployed or seasonal employees. The main source of income have migration where still these means -incomes still manage to keep their families even these incomes are unsafe. Natural distant areas from urban areas, hilly, mountainous with high altiitude, the low level of education, the health of underdeveloped, with poor housing conditions, etc. are covered by higher rates of unemployement and poverty.

5. Infrastructure
5.1. Transport infrastructure In recent years was worked hard in the paving of roads in ASI "KLA HQ in Kleck and Divjakë. Asphalt road connects the villages of this area that are Klecka, Divjaka, Novosela and Berisha. Houses in Divjakë are slightly away from the street than other houses in the villages. There is lack of paved roads that would link the inside (inside the village quarters) of these villages with paved road. In a total area 16.5 km of asphalted road. ASI road connectivity with national and regional roads is good. With M25 Pristina-Prizren road related area in Carralevë and Qafa e Duhles with M9 Prishtina-Peja road in Komoran associated with road-R110 Malishevë, Tërpezë, Arllat relates to the area is also well connected with road-R120 Lipjan –Slatina.

5.3. Energy Infrastructure. Power supply of low buildings that are in ASI” HQ KLA " Klecka and Divjakë "is regular. Areas with electricity supplied by TS 35/10 kV conductors Drenasi by (LP) 10 kV. This wide- conductivity passes near the area. LP 10 kV line mainly consists of wooden poles 12 m and a small piece of concrete columns by 12 m. At 12 kV isolators (partially in some parts of the isolators 24 kV line) are lying conductor Al-Fe 3 x 25 mm ² and Al-Fe 3 x 35 mm ². Some areas are also included with the electricity distribution network 0.4 kV, respectively with 10/0.4 kV substations. 0.4 kV distribution lines usually consist of wood poles 9 m where 1 kV isolators are primarily conduits extending Al-Fe 3 x 25 mm ² and Al-Fe 3 x 35 mm ². Substations are iron pillars with power transformers with power of 100 kVA to 250 kVA.
5.4. Water Infrastructure In this area has not installed water systems and wastewater sewerage. Obtained from underground water sources.
6. Kleçka and Divjaka in economic context These two areas and municipalities which belong to ASI, in terms of economic development, entering among the most underdeveloped municipalities of Kosovo, and one of the areas most damaged by the war last 99 '. Almost all of these municipal economies are concentrated in agriculture. In the area of special interest, there is no trade and industry inherited from the prewar period. Productive activities are developed mainly by households, which are scattered across various locations outside the area, while commercial activities are located outside the service area in the nearby settlements. Areas of special interest are hilly- mountainous area with rich fauna. Forests have been and are suitable for tourist hunting as forest of Lipovica (Blinaja) and Klecka, which are not far from Lypjan. This area before 99` years is known as a hunting area, which have come to hunt from all regions of former Yugoslavia. Many settlements of Malisheva have entered in history as the arena of battle as as a bloody arena of Ladroci and Seniku and which are future potential for historical tourism.

9. Challenges of spatial development of the area
9.1. The development and promotion of cultural-historical values in the Zone
How to develop and promote the values of the war, through facilities that have had a greater historical significance, all in favor of economic development? Cultural heritage is the integral wealth, which should be used and protected by everyone, be inherited by us and future generations. According to the basic concepts of UNESCO each element, the whole monument or cultural and naturals are unique and the elimination of any of them is definitive and irreversible loss of heritage. Cultural and natural provides a sense of identity and helps to distinguish the different religious cultures in a climate of globalization, allows knowing and understanding each other, and also constitutes an important asset development. Therefore, this idea strongly defended by the Council under which all EU members give special importance to protecting and preserving their cultural heritage on the basis of standards adopted by the EU. Such a situation gives us to understand that Kosovo should also make efforts to meet these standards in order to integrate into the European family. Regulation of spatial planning should take into account the international observance of these principles: 1. Promoting the interests of the country while protecting natural and cultural resources, based on sustainable development; 2. Promotion of cultural heritage as a factor for the development, protection of cultural heritage as an integral part of social development, cultural assets are treated as potential development area in which there are, in terms of economic development; 3. Development and conservation of TK (Cultural heritage) and TN (Natural heritage) through a management measure. This will preserve and protect the deepening of regional identities and preserving natural and cultural diversity of cities and rural areas of the country. In general in the Kosovo, cultural heritage and natural wealth of the country regarded as expressing the identity of the society, which unfortunately is being threatened every day by more destruction. In particular in the area of "HQ-Klecka and Divjakë" are a number of important historic buildings, which are subject to risk of total destruction. Inadequate maintenance and their current treatment are in contrary to the basic standards, so this element is considered as one of the main factors affecting by the reduction of the values of the respective facilities. Another element affecting the uncontrolled construction are taking place in the vicinity and surrounding areas of cultural and historical that is proven. Their construction is affecting the demolition of the structure of objects in particular and the loss of landscape that shows the development of events and activities from the period of war.
List of issues identified: • Destruction of historical buildings and the overall risk of their disappearance; • No maintain of the identity of the objects and landscape to show the historical past; • Unplanned constructions resulting in loss of the tradition of historical sites of identified areas; • Inadequate treatment facilities and areas that show the historical past; What are the identified actions and opportunities? • Preparation list of the objects of historical significance and their inventory;
41 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan - Area of Special Interest –“GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka”
• Proposal historic buildings MCYS, for inclusion in the categories specified in the list of databases of cultural heritage monuments; • Development of Urban Regulatory Plan, which regulates and provides space for developments proposed in areas within the Area of Special Interest "HQ.KLA, Klecka and Divjakë "; • Promotion of cultural and historical values that will impact on raising awareness for adequate storage and treatment facilities and areas within the Special Zone "HQ -Klecka and Divjakë"; • Observance of appropriate legislation; • Adhering to the European Conventions dealing with architectural and archaeological heritage, and European conventions that affect the environmental field; All these above mentioned elements enable the realization of the primary purpose "protection from degradation of cultural heritage"
9.2. Protection and conservation of natural values of the area Currently we are dealing with issues relating to the environment is one of the main challenges in society. Developments taking place in space, most of them are in contradiction with the norms and environmental standards. Lack of spatial and management, especially at central and local level, then the uncontrolled activities individually or collectively, in most cases have a negative impact in areas with natural values. ASI HQ, KLA. Klecka - Divjakë''is an area that includes parts covered with woods, pastures, meadows and attractive natural landscapes. Within this area lies the monument (the third category according to IUCN's) special natural value " Guri I Gradinës” ( Gradines Stone") with geomorphology character intertwined with the values that are characteristic for the region as the natural landscape and biological diversity (world living plant and animal). In general, the fact that we are dealing with a set of protected natural values in concert with those within its cultural and historical, is it challenging as well as opportunities and ways of developing and promoting them. Challenge in itself presents Natural Monument "Gradinës Stone", which is an area with very specific values and natural features (its rarity, reprezentatives the recreatives, aesthetic, etc.) as well as special cultural values. Given the possibility of danger to that property from natural and anthropogenic factors, with the right questions that can be asked: Is there a need for preventive care and in particular prior to the values? What are and how to coordinate actions for the protection and preservation from damage, contamination and degradation of values? A required and a need for an efficient management organized on the area and shared responsibility? Is this area proviing access to nearby natural monument? How is access to infrastructure and services and can be any improve of their situation and needs of visitors to the local population for their reception.
Context First and generally, for the whole space of this area, with natural values and cultural - historical, needs an effective management, not only in the protection, preservation, but also in progress to further and promote them. Management is required in order to meet different needs, so that could allow visitors view of the experience of these values, while the host population enable to welcome the visitors, host them, and monitoring and escorying them. Biological diversity (biodiversity) that is fairly distributed in the area, have carefully preserved from damage or degradation of the species or types (plant and animal world) and stop endangering them, especially those rare, while hunting may take place only in certain areas of common species and environmentally damaging. Among the natural disasters that can threaten human values and natural created, we can mention erosion and fires, of which one should be careful, as the protection of values and preventing these phenomena.
42 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan – Area of Special Interest – “GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka”
Viewed from the aspect of environmental pollution, can be said that air and water capacity are small clean satisfactorily in terms of industrial development or negative economic impact. However, other activities such as the dumping of waste, burning of tires in private ovens for baking the lime quarry, uncontrolled forest cutting, dumping sewage into rivers, which are present in the area, can affect pollution and environmental degradation. Exploitation of natural resources, especially of plants and fruits and the mountain pastures and meadows, may affect the rural development area with the capacity of ecological products such as various livestock products, honey, medicinal plants, etc.. Access to the infrastructure and services, whether technical or social, as to the inner needs of the population and for visitors outside the area, has risen with care not to damage or degrade the natural values.
Issues identified In order for this to be a desirable environment what is needed, it`s neccesary to take measures to carry out activities or projects which are put under protection, preserve and promote natural and cultural values - historic area. These activities are: • Management within the exact area and coordination of actions in the care and promotion of its values. • Care to biodiversity and the development of values protected by their entirety; • Protection from natural disasters (erosion, fire, etc.) and their prevention; • Prevention of damage to monuments and environmental pollution by individual or collective activity; • Access to infrastructure and services; • Exploitation of natural resources for potential development of rural tourism
9.3. Socio-economic development in the area Why and what is challenging in terms of socio economic development in ASI, GHQ- Klecka and Divjake''? Social aspect - For this area, the challenge is to develop the education of youth in step with trends that are occurring in other areas respectively to urban areas. Given the poor conditions in terms of education and other social aspects, there is greater possibility of displacement- migration of population from this area. Economic aspect – ASI HQ,. KLA Klecka and Divjakë''is the encompassed area by the historic features in which there are other features of rural areas with the fact that the declaration of special zones should also be taken into consideration, and elaborated in terms of development rural of which will depend on the area and household dwellings. So it is challenging to develop desired, planned and sustainable rural development versus to specific area with its specifics in this case must not contradict, but to support and strengthen each other more. Regarding the economic aspect, in particular in the area of challenging question is the development of agriculture, livestock and infrastructure. Solutions in the narrow sense of the area - which includes territory of ASI that is mainly hilly and mountainous settlements included, should be planned in terms of rural development taking into account its historical peculiarities. Within the narrow, this area should provide opportunities for residents of the area, comfortable living and activities, as before, per household, but also new opportunities to provide facilities for rural tourism. Solutions in the broad sense of the area - The area of particular interest, GHQ KLA Klecka and Divjakë'' will be a cultural hearth of which will benefit residents, visitors and eventually throughout Kosovo. Central and local government should financially support the natural
43 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan - Area of Special Interest –“GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka” resources, human and built in and around the area, namely household in new capacity for livestock housing capacity in the provision of other services for rural tourism and ecological agriculture production, of which will not only benefit but the whole area and country. Should be considered in combination, compounds such activities as that of rural tourism with historical and ecological trend in the world today are as inventive and other combinations. Physical infrastructure - Part of the socio-economic development in the area as a challenge that will face is the development of physical infrastructure. Achieving a desirable development of physical infrastructure will contribute significantly for overcoming the challenge. For this reason, efforts should be directed for ensuring access via paved roads in the area of all settlements and ensuring the supply of electricity and drinking water to all the settlements. Infrastructural development of a rural area for which it comes, would not present a challenge for any developing country, but for Kosovo as a country with a comparatively low level of socio-economic development than countries developed with smaller investment opportunities, this development represents a challenge even more so when the reality in Kosovo shows that the priority for socio-economic development is being given to urban areas (particularly Prishtina). ASI spatial plan "GHQ. KLA. Klecka and Divjakë "will set clear objectives for the Zone of development and strategy and for achieving them.

SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT III FRAMEWORK
3. Concept and Structure of Spatial Development
Area of Special Interest, GHQ.KLA.Kleçkë-Divjakë "provides vital economic development opportunities and prospects for its residents. Nature's quiet of Berisha Mountains presents a suitable environment for rest and recreation, and other activities of an economic. On the other hand, part of the legacy of war offers good potential conditions for tourism sector, business development in settlements and physical infrastructure. Much of the area, have good prospects for development of various economic activities, dominated by agribusiness (farming) and other commercial activities and services. The area offers considerable residential, besides the main road which connects to the network area of streets in Kosovo, has a significant amount of agricultural land, the pastures, and opportunities for development of commercial and service activities. Protection, development and exploitation of natural resources and potential of this area enable the opening of new prospects for development of the area, with special emphasis on rural tourism and cultural-historical heritage. Considering the plight of settlements in the area, proposed a favor and provision of services which will impact on improving the conditions and quality of life including education, capacity building, provision of adequate medical services and social infrastructure necessary- technical support. This would affect the stabilization of migration and population growth of interest to live and work in the village. As a result of tests made during the preparation of this plan based on spatial and especially in the current state of land use, has emerged the concept of linear distribution of spatial developments along the road corridor Duhël-Berisha accompanied by equal distribution of developments in parts of the settlements that are far from this road. Existing condition of the distribution of development in space indicates that the largest number of residents and residential facilities and social services lies along the main road (villages Berisha, Novosel, Klecka and Divjakë), few economic activities have extended linear and almost all the contents that show the activities of the last war lie in a linear fashion along Klecka - Berisha. This concept is based on the protection of cultural heritage values and natural history, providing the necessary infrastructure and adding the control of residential development towards the interior of the area. Under this concept, issues of particular importance will be the communication and movement within the entire area. Natural landmarks of the area will communicate via walking paths, which will enable the possibility of visiting and experiencing the natural landscape during movement. Reference point of the entire area to be the area of "monument and graves of martyrs", which will also serve as information center for all content that provides ASI GHQ KLA Kleçkë and Divjake ''in general. The concept enables a stable solution and consists of: 1. Care facilities and promotion of cultural and natural history, through the development of tourism; 2. Promotion of local quality products - eco-tourism; 3. Controlling the growth of settlements within the area and connections to villages that are outside the area; 4. Strengthening the road network that connects the village South-east of Shale in the area, the village Duhël south, west with Malisheva and north with Tërpezë village. The concept of spatial development in ASI "GHQ KLA.Kleçkë and Divjakë" also consists in the separation of this area into three smaller areas. The areas are:
47 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan - Area of Special Interest –“GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka”
1. Active areas - areas in which are largely spread settlements and economic and social activities; 2. Natural value areas - areas that mainly consists of forests and pastures and 3. Areas of cultural heritage and historical - buildings and areas that have content that gave evidence of past military activities that occurred during the recent war in Kosovo. These zones differ from one to another in terms of economic, social and environmental.
Fig. 1. Concept of Spatial development ASI “GHQ. KLA.Kleçkë dhe Divjakë”

3.1. Active Zone This area lies mainly in the central part of ASI with about 900m altitude. It includes parts of the field where it is concentrated residential area, population, social services and road infrastructure. Functions of this area are: agriculture, tourism, trade, small economy and transport. Agriculture - Agricultural development will facilitate profitable crop cultivation by expanding the areas under fruit crops and livestock development, beekeeping and poultry. Tourism - Development of settlements along the road axis enables the development of tourist activity in the area and selling eco-products. Tourism that can be developed in this area is largely cultural and landscape type. Controlled constructions of hotels, restaurants and motels could offer traditional and contemporary services for visitors. Hotels, motels, restaurants will offer services to the tourism needs will also increase the opportunity for employment and economic development of the municipality. Monuments inherited from the last war have its value as a tourist attraction area. Landscape that provides this area is amazing for the fact that from whichever side can be seen both as a whole field of Kosovo Plain and the Dukagjini. Trade - trade development based on good access to the road network has zones and national shipping lines. Trade will be held for local and regional needs. Small economy - Monitoring activities Limestone extraction is a matter which should be taken into consideration because it is treated as a traditional craft of local residents, but the development of this activity should be brought under control. Initially will be given great environmental importance, then the creation of opportunities for businesses, even the activities in terms of lime. Areas which have been exploited to undergo rehabilitation measures to improve the environment, even it is human or natural. By the development of the area must in medium -term periods to be prevented the whole this activity due to environmental pollution. Transportation - Currently the level of public transport is not satisfactory. It`s performed with commercial vans in the rare intervals of time, and no bus transportation. Transportation investments can take place with not too large, because the prerequisite for this development is to be the completed the construction of that road. The construction of new roads has made easy access to the 5 municipalities Drenas Lipjan Malisheva Therandė (Suva Reka) and Shtime and its so appropriate.
3.2. Area of natural values Much of the territory spread on the area ASI. The area is a mountainous zone that is characterized by significant natural values and is therefore called natural area values. This area covers about 3,500 ha or 85% forests and meadows around 300 ha or 8% of the total surface area. Due to physical and geographical characteristics, this area is rich with special natural values. Areas of natural value are not populated but the human factor influences are present. Protective measures which are obliged by Law for the Protection of Nature are under function of tourism development and nature conservation feature. Protection of natural monuments is required by the specific values of their natural inherited values for generations and are under function of further development in environmentally and economically aspect. The most important monument is the “Guri I Gradinës` who is under legal protection. The development of tourism here is in its infancy and the combination of natural values and cultural and historical heritage is a potential for its further development. Functions of this area are: forestry, animal husbandry, beekeeping, tourism, hunting and exploitation of natural resources. Forestry - forestry as an economic activity requires not only treatment but also as a national asset as municipal property Drenas Lipjan and Malisheva. The limited capacities of the forest make it even more compelling purpose to protect the forests from uncontrolled logging.
49 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan - Area of Special Interest –“GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka”
Farming - Livestock and its intensive development should be one very important activity in this area, based mainly on the potential of pastures and meadows that has this area, as well as their ecological value, which makes specific. Pasture land amounting to a fund of about 300 ha and are serious potential for livestock development. Beekeeping - Beekeeping has available all the necessary conditions for development in this area, therefore investment in this branch of agriculture will help its economic development and cultural. Development should stimulate beekeeping, should subsidized families who wish to deal with this event, which is very profitable and, therefore, is likely to prevent depopulation. Tourism - Tourism in the mountain and during weekends will be the main types of tourism in this area. One of the natural values of the different landscapes is formed by the combination of real forest, pasture and geomorphologic field forms. Hunting - The development of controlled hunting would be another helpful development in this area. Hunting should be subject to the control regime and monitored without interruption. Exploitation of natural resources - Regarding the surface of limestone and mineral exploitation, should be the licensing of certain activities which deal mainly with the use of rock or suspended them. Firstly must make an evaluation of their impact on the environment and socio-economic impact of them, and then certain decisions with which those activities will be prohibited or legalized.
3.3. Areas of cultural heritage and historical Announcement of the part of Klecka till to Berisha as an area of particular interest intended to protect, preserve and use heritage values of the KLA war. Identification and zoning of these heritage values are based on the best fight of the development area as in socio-economic terms and in the environment. Based on analysis of existing conditions, within this area have been identified 8 locations of the legacy of war. All these points are left at the mercy of nature and without care, except in this regard is the building of `Radio Free Kosovo` in Berisha and the Martyrs' Cemetery in Klecka in which investments are made prior. It’s proposed to be placed under institutional protection of these heritage items: • Radio Free Kosovo (house museum), and Agency of news “Kosova Press ”Berisha • Point where had operated `Radio Free Kosovo`, Pallanik • House in which was placed the Provisional Government of the Republic of Kosovo, Novosel • Place of the General Headquarter Staff of the KLA – Divjakë • Hospitals, bakeries, logistics- Divjake • Graveyard of the Martyrs – Klecka • Brigade 121, Ismet Kumanova''- Klecka and • Third Battalion Command,''Sadik Shala - Lluzhnicë

STRATEGY OF SPATIAL IV DEVELOPMENT
4.1. Environment, Natural Heritage, Historic and Cultural Legacy In the Zone of Special Interest GHQ KLA " Kleçkë and Divjakë" to protect and preserve the environment and also to be protected, preserved and developed the natural, historical and cultural values. In order to achieve this are proposed measures to protect air, water, soil, biodiversity, landscape and nature monuments. Landscape is land or water area in which nature or the human factor for long-characteristic spaces has created significant ecological value, aesthetic or cultural. Therefore, maintaining the integrity of this interaction should be done anyway because it is essential for environmental protection and development. In this space, most of the surface is covered with forests and pastures, which have a positive impact in terms of protecting the air after enabling the reduction of methane and carbon dioxide, pollutants that are released after the accrual of the lime. So their next operation should be controlled in order to meet environmental regulations in general and air protection in particular that have less harmful effects on the environment and human health. Water is far from negative impacts of human factor but the measures are done to protect water flows and natural resources that are important for the area. Solid waste and wastewater pose in this area need to be under better management of household waste and sewage systems to be constructed in order to protect the best water and groundwater flow in this area from wastewater. Degradation of forests, irrational exploitation of limestone rocks and dumping of waste in a mass are present in this area, and has consequently the land degradation. Irrational use of forests for firewood and roasting of limestone rock, leads to deforestation and increased activity and erosive destruction of the natural landscape. For this reason measures should be applied for conservation of flora in this area in line with current standards. Biological diversity is closely related to evolutionary processes of creation and existence, respectively the causes and circumstances which led to the appearance and development of biodiversity. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to nature protection and thus of the human environment because the consequences will not feel only us but also the future generations. Regulation of human relations to nature in order to ensure long-term exploitation of natural resources, and direct protection of some parts of nature which, because of its scientific values, cultural, economic and rare natural beauties on the ecological laws and established through adequate protection. Scientific significance of the monuments of the nature of science is very great because they provide important data which explain the phenomena and rules which govern nature. Natural monuments are like a kind of very valuable information not only for scientific research in different fields, but also culturally, teaching, tourism, etc. Given that negative action of man on nature and its resources has been and is becoming more intense, is presented as an urgent need to take adequate measures to protect the nature in which not only to be protected flora and fauna but also the human helath In this natural monument area is on the so-called character evolution of “Guri I Gradinës” that belongs to category III according to the IUCN which gives the area an attractive look and requires constant care in the future.
4.2. Management It is necessary to establish the organizational forms and ways of using the area for the purpose of management and its effective management. Municipalities in which lies the area should have a continued cooperation and fruitful for achieving this goal. Rules and
51 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan - Area of Special Interest –“GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka” responsibilities of each municipality must be defined in advance. Representation and responsibility of the municipalities will depend on the areas covered under the ceiling with the spatial plan for ASI "GHQ.KLA.Kleçkë and Divjakë". All this should be regulated by a memorandum, which would clearly defined duties and responsibilities of all parties concerned. Apart from participating municipalities, relevant parties to this Agreement must be representatives of relevant sectors of Government, who will play the role of monitor’s developments in the area. Important part of management must be information on historical, cultural and natural heritage of this area and promoting them domestically and abroad. This should be a continuous process should be used where different ways in which information must be included area residents, citizens of Kosovo, local visitors and foreign citizens, who will be informed through the promotion of outside the area. Promoting the values of the area, among others, have influence in attracting tourists, which in turn will have greater development of tourism and creating a stable financial source.
4.3. Social Development Bearing in mind the bad conditions in which the teaching and health, as previously required to start with improving the physical condition of buildings and to proceed with organizing the training of teachers, organization of different quizzes for knowledge for students, offering courses including language courses and various technical courses, etc. In view of protecting, preserving and developing cultural and historical values of the area is the education of future generations in the spirit of patriotism by teaching the history of the area. Educating the next generation of national and historical values is one of more specific objectives within the area spatial plan. Klecka and Divjaka area has merit and is remarkable for the activity of the General Headquarter Staff of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the military organization of the Kosovo Protection Force. The entire area was such as to support the activities of the General Staff with various activities and other logistics. Future generations must first correctly informed about the activity, which distinguishes this area and continuing for the next generations in different ways through educational parts, educational, etc. Also, provision of medical services throughout the day as well as improving the quality of health services also provide requirements that must be met in order to improve teaching and emergency health conditions.
4.4. Economic Development Areas around the park should be in funcion of the park. This principle is in accordance with the opinion of the international federation for nature conservation (in the framework of UNESCO), in which capacity should be used outside the park whenever conditions allow. To protect and develop the park has a special role the local population settlements within and around the park, which must accept as their own park. The public should be informed of the economic benefits and awareness of the possibility of increasing their welfare. Central and local government should financially support the natural resources, human and built in the area and around it, namely households, new capacity for livestock, beekeeping, building housing and providing other services to rural tourism, ecological production, from which will benefit the area and across the country. Each region is the original village, as the manner of cooking as well as cultural assets folkloristike. These facts highlight the potential of rural and cultural tourism, which should not soften significantly underestimated because the crisis in agriculture and unemployment of residents. Natural landscape values than relaxing, spiritual tranquility to give, there are also educational force, as the writer and philosopher said, the great French leader of the Enlightenment, Voltaire, "Nature has always had more force than education." The area offers
52 Institute for Spatial Planning Spatial Plan – Area of Special Interest – “GH KLA Kleçka and Divjaka” environmental-geographic conditions, ecosystems and landscapes that make up the original main tourist potential and enable rural tourism in this area. With the objective of rural development, ecological tourism will achieve conservation and cultivation of traditional and cultural values of people within and around the park, which will increase its attractiveness to attract park visitors. In addition to developing rural tourism, ecological, as other rural development pillar (rural development - one of the goals for the area) are the development of livestock and beekeeping. Within the plan for local households or households in the area planned for development of livestock support, with greater allocation of funds from the state budget for the agricultural sector, since agriculture is one of the most important segments of the economy development the country. More research is supported by the fact of a positive relationship between the significant investment in agriculture and poverty reduction in rural areas which directly contributes to increased economic welfare of the country. It is important to aware the general public, about the essential requirements and needs of the population in rural areas, community participation in preparing and planning for the future, based on successful practices from neighboring countries.
4.5. Infrastructure Development of physical infrastructure in the area is the basis for rural development. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal for the development of the rural area should be invested in physical infrastructure development. Paved roads do not go into all quarters of these settlements, therefore, should be asphalted streets through which could achieved the largest neighborhoods. The road passes through ASI of the municipality of Drenas should be asphalted. Development of road infrastructure must be accompanied by the development of public transport which means that all residents of ASI settlements should be allowed access to public transport. In order to achieve the target of a regular supply of electricity, should be invested in improving electricity infrastructure by installing new istant-conductives and transformers. In ASI is not installed water systems and sewage of wastewater, so that these investments should be installed in all residences in the area. Waste management is one of the objectives for ASI. To achieve this objective it is necessary to increase the infrastructure for waste management and ensure waste removal service. All the measures, projects and necessary activities in detail are presented in the table. For each target, are presented and identified the appropriate activities, with the necessary time frame and depending on the information presented and cost required for implementation, and the principal must mensure that until the final realization of the relevant activity.

PROJECT TASK Draft Regulatory Plan for the Zone of special interest "Klecka and Divjakë '
Introduction The set of cultural-historical space "Klecka - Divjakë" was named "Area of special interest for Kosovo", because of special historical value, cultural and natural values. Taking in consideration these values, the area in question is presented as one of the complexes that is important not only for the area but also extends to the whole Kosovo. Currently underway is the process of drafting the Spatial Plan for Special Interest Area Klecka - Divjakë (hereinafter: Plan) which will be defined: overall development goals of the territory (space), will be clearly defined organization and designation of the area and to identify the extent and conditions of use, regulation and protection of the area as a whole. So far, several steps have been completed the process and consider that all preconditions exist in parallel with this process, the planning begins with some detail on specific areas. Therefore, taking all these into account and respecting the rules in force, the proposed draft Urban Regulatory Plan for some points that are located within the boundary of the Plan. We are sure that such action will affect the acceleration of activities in general, which will not harm the general idea of the concept of spatial development of the area.
The purpose of drafting the Urban Regulatory Plan Draft Regulatory Plan for the Special Interest Area "Klecka - Divjakë" has the purpose of controlling and managing land use within the area, and promoting economic development taking utmost care of the environment preservation. Regulatory plan aims to: • to establish a rule set for building / development and rational way of using land, with which will achieve certain effects that are required by urban and environmental norms; • protect the area from uncontrolled development that may occur from potential investors and developers; • to realize elements of protection of the historical and environmental features within and around the area; • to compile the database (database) in the GIS system; • to achieve the principle of public participation in all stages. • be accomplished recording geodetic detail of the location, which should be part of the special task of drafting the plan. It will enable to handle physical data accurately and to create a cadastral base which helps building a geographic information system based on the latest situation.
The legal basis The regulatory plan is to be understood as normative-technical document which defined precisely in the basic rules on construction and land use in the area. Rules should be determined by maintaining, vision, concept and all the fundamental objectives arising from the draft Spatial Plan for the area and based on the Law on Spatial Planning,
