North Macedonia secures funding for first major investment in waste management

North Macedonia has launched its first major investment in the modernization of infrastructure for solid waste management in line with European standards. The project will cover more than one million inhabitants in five regions: South-East, South-West, Pelagonia[1], Polog[2], and Vardar[3].

The waste management project will be financed with a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)[4] in the amount of EUR 55 million, and donations from various international and governmental institutions. It will be implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning[5].

During its implementation, three regional integrated systems for waste management will be established, putting a stop to depositing at aging local landfills, with environmentally safe disposal practices to be introduced in line with EU standards.

According to the EBRD, the project envisages the construction of new and rehabilitation of existing sanitary landfills, the construction of new transfer stations, infrastructure for waste collection and transportation, and a recycling centre, as well as the closure of two landfills.

The project should be supported with investment grants of EUR 24 million and technical assistance estimated at EUR 13.1 million. The donors are the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs[6] (SECO), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency[7] (SIDA), and the Western Balkans Investment Framework[8] (WBIF).

SECO’s financial support of EUR 9 million will go towards completing the rehabilitation of the Polog landfill (EUR 6 million) and the development of institutional frameworks at the regional and local level in the solid waste sector (EUR 3 million).

SECO will also fund assistance for the Energy and Water Services Regulatory Commission[9] to expand its mandate in the waste sector.

The project is also expected to receive support from the WBIF in the amount of up to EUR 22.3 million, and assistance worth EUR 2 million for the development of studies in the two regions. Swedish SIDA will provide a EUR 1 million grant for project preparation and implementation.

Nuredini: the first serious investments since the country’s independence

Naser Nuredini, Minister of Environment and Physical Planning, said that North Macedonia, finally, after 31 years of independence, is seriously investing in the establishment of infrastructure for waste management in line with EU standards.

The new approach will enable the application of a better model of waste collection, transportation and disposal and the construction of two sanitary landfills, Nuredini said.

According to Nuredini, apart from the acquisition of modern equipment, the project will include developing habits and raising the awareness of the population about waste selection and the benefits they get from it.

Nuredini signed the loan agreement with Suzan Goeransson, the EBRD’s director for infrastructure for Europe, who noted that modernizing waste management systems and increasing recycling rates are key to reducing pollution, enabling the circular economy, and bringing the country closer to EU environmental standards.

Similar to other multilateral development banks, the EBRD has members from all over the world (North America, Africa, Asia and Australia, see below), with the biggest single shareholder being the United States, but only lends regionally in its countries of operations. Headquartered in London, the EBRD is owned by 71 countries and two European Union institutions, the newest shareholder being Algeria since October 2021. Despite its public sector shareholders, it invests in private enterprises, together with commercial partners.

Bogorodica Krajinska ~ Krajina Manastir Bogorodica Krajinska, poznat i pod imenom Precista Krajinska, nalazi se u Krajini, na jugozapadnoj obali Skadarskog jezera, u bilizini sela Ostrosa. Prvi put se crkva u Krajini pominje krajem X vijeka u Ljetopisu popa Dukljanina, kada je u njoj sahranjen Petrislav, otac kneza Vladimira. Krajina se u XI vijeku navodi kao sjedište, dvor kneza Vladimira. U crkvu sv. Marije, koju je po predanju podigla Vladimirova žena Kosara, cerka cara Samuila, prenijeto je njegovo tijelo iz Prespe 1015. godine. U XV vijeku u Krajini je stolovao zetski mitropolit. Ostaci manastirskog kompleksa danas su u ruševinama. Više se sacuvala jedino kula zvonik na zapadnom kraju jedne vece prostorije sazidane u produžetku zapadnog dijela crkve, posvecene Uspenju Bogorodice, za koju se pretpostavlja da je mogla biti namijenjena bilo stanovanju bilo za trpezariju. Kula je imala pet spratova sa drvenim meduspratnim tavanicama. Na cetvrtom spratu nalazila se mala kapela sa apsidom. Danas je kula djelimicno obnovljena. Od obimnih zidova kompleksa nešto vidljivih ostataka sacuvalo se jedino na sjevernoj strani. Ostaci zidova, najvjerovatnije kasnije prizidanih, nalaze se i uz samu crkvenu gradevinu, ali su neophodna dalja istraživanja. Sam položaj manastira nije bio narocito pogodan za odbranu, no ako je tacno da je Krajina ime mjesta u kome je stolovao Vladimir , i da se ono odnosi na bližu okolinu kompleksa, onda se može pretpostaviti da su za odbranu služile i okolne kamenite glavice prema jezeru.

Od 2006 Mi nijesmo uspjeli ni crkvu kraljevsku obnoviti a za što će nama historija, sve što nam treba znati je od kraja WWII, kako smo pobjedili fašizam, jel da? Pa ako ga pobjedismo što di ono "rat za mir", pa kupljenje izbjeglica iz Bosne - Novi pa ovo od 2020 godine? Kao osnovni problem Crnogorske države su komunisti nema tu razlika među žandarima od 1918 i drugova od 1945 ni sekunde isti su ono 100% njima je važan cilj a kako doći do njega ne važno, važan je krajnji cilj!

The fatal shooting of two endangered animals, a female brown bear in Prespes, northern Greece, and a lesser spotted eagle in southern Crete, has provoked an angry reaction from environmental organizations, who are calling on the authorities to identify and punish the perpetrators.

The 6-year-old bear was found dead on Friday near ​​the village of Vrontero. It was made public yesterday by Callisto, Arcturos and the Prespa Protection Company.

“Unfortunately, this is not the first such incident in this village,” said Giorgos Mertzanis, scientific director of Callisto, in comments to Kathimerini.

The second incident also occurred last Friday, involving Lambros, a young lesser spotted eagle born in March 2021 in the Prasano Gorge. It had been fitted with a satellite transmitter in April under the LIFE Bonelli eastMed Program. He was found dead from gunshot wounds in a rural area south of Vasiliki in the municipality of Gortyna.
