The Law and the respective Administrative Instructions regulate the monitoring and reporting duties of all stakeholders in the sector. Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency - KEPA (Article 60 of Law No. 03/L-025 on Environmental Protection and Article 14, paragraph 1.8 of Law No. 04/L-060) is tasked with and given the responsibility of creating a waste management database and system. AMMK is also responsible for the development of the annual waste management report. This report aims to provide a comprehensive and reliable overview of municipal waste management at municipal level, guiding the development of strategic policies, monitoring and implementation of the national integrated waste management strategy, municipal performance evaluation and fostering well-planned investments focusing on improving the state of environment, public health and economic aspects. The content of this report introduces a current overview of the state of municipal waste management, including: implementation of legislation, service coverage on waste collection and transport, billing and fee collection, registration of illegal dumpsites, the amount of municipal waste collected and generated by municipalities, data on municipal initiatives for waste separation at source, etc. The content of this report presents the data from the reporting year of 2019, using comparative method with the data of previous years of 2017/2018. 1.2 Data collection methodology Prior to the reporting phase, with the support of the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ), KEPA and Association of Kosovo Municipalities (AKM) held meetings to discuss on the format, procedure and timelines for reporting on municipal waste management for 2019. The data in this report were taken from the reports of municipalities and licensed companies dealing with municipal waste collection and transportation, landfill management companies and Kosovo Agency of Statistics. This is the second year in a row that the abovementioned stakeholders are reporting through a reporting format that KEPA has developed for the purpose of standardized reporting. This report was compiled using the data reported by: Municipalities through municipal officers responsible for waste management; Waste collection operators (RWCs, MCs, etc.); Landfill management companies (KLMC, RWC, etc.). The results of the data on illegal dumpsites are based on field registration conducted in all municipalities in June 2020, and these data were then reported on KEPA’s standardized forms. 6 To verify the accuracy of data reported on, inter alia, the number of households served, fee collection, waste disposal, access to infrastructure for separation at source etc., necessary documentation was requested from municipalities and operators. These documents include: financial statements, billing lists, reports on quantities of waste disposed, etc. Reported data on illegal dumpsites were verified via field visits to the locations selected on the ground. Data and documents were then reviewed by a working group within the MESPI, assessments were done and the results of the 2019 municipal waste management report were extracted. KEPA has forwarded the draft report to the municipalities to review it once again and avoid possible errors in the processed data. 2.0 MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT IN KOSOVO 2.1 Current situation Waste management in the Republic of Kosovo is regulated by Law No. 64/L-060 on Waste and other bylaws. An increased activity of waste management stakeholders was noticed with concrete initiatives undertaken to improve the situation in this sector. However, without proper implementation of the legal basis, investments and concrete projects in improving waste management, there will be no improvement
