Western Balkans Environmental Programme - Macedonia
UNDP Country Offices in the Western Balkan countries developed a regional
demonstration programme around demand driven projects in nine locations
suffering from the legacy of polluting industries and requiring industrial
renewal, environmental clean up and new economic initiative.
The aim of the
programme is to achieve improvement of environmental situation and quality of
life for citizens living in and around polluted area through least cost
measures, improved local and national policy dialogue and supply of domestic
professional services in the environmental management sector. Lojane Mine and
Bucim Mine, as one of the priority environmental hot spots identified in
national strategies/plans will be pilot locations in FYR Macedonia. Proposed
interventions under this programme are directed towards addressing the
historical pollution and prevention of the future pollution of waters, air and
soil resulting from past and current mining processes. At the same time, this
programme will facilitate establishment of Public Private Partnership among the
state and new owners of the mines.
