Lake Skadar without pollution through EU support

Montenegro is a country of exceptional natural beauty and vast natural resources, but these resources are limited and therefore need to be preserved. The project Lake Skadar without chemical pollution, financed by the European Union and implemented by the Centre for Ecotoxicological Research (CETI) and in partnership with the University of Tirana and the NGO Green Centre Albania, contributes precisely to that goal.

Lake Skadar is the focal point in terms of its environmental condition and protection. With its rich flora and fauna, Lake Skadar has the status of a protected area in both Montenegro and Albania. In order to protect its biodiversity, continuous cooperation between institutions on both sides of the border is necessary.

Through this project, connections and collaborations are being established between Montenegro and Albania.

“We are confident that, based on our recommendations, there are enough elements for joint action by Montenegrin and Albanian institutions. With the aim of environmental protection, including Lake Skadar and all other resources, borders will be erased,” emphasised Project Manager Danijela Šuković.
