Inspections across Kosovo revealed widespread failures by hydropower operators to respect minimum ecological river flows. The Ministry introduced mandatory flow-monitoring equipment, stricter ecological flow rules, and the power to suspend water-use rights.
Around 60 representatives of public institutions, academia, environmental organisations, and citizens gathered today in Konjic for an expert symposium titled “Neretva - One Year Since the Fish Kill: What Were the Causes and How to Prevent a New Disaster?”
KESH (Albanian Energy Corporation) has officially suspended work on three dams on the Mërtur River in the Albanian Alps.
A coalition of 534 scientists from 32 countries has formally delivered a petition calling on the Albanian government to halt luxury resort developments in the Vjosa Delta and grant the area full national park protection.
More than 300 residents of the Nikaj-Mërtur region in Tropojë, together with environmental activists, protest against a project to construct three dams/barriers on the Mërturi River.
The EU Parliament today adopted its annual report on Albania, sending one of its strongest messages yet on the importance of protecting nature, upholding environmental safeguards and ensuring that EU standards are respected throughout the accession process.
Following seven days of intensive fieldwork, an international team of over 70 scientists and students has officially concluded Una Science Week.
Serious environmental damage is currently taking place in the Vjosa-Narta protected area in Albania. Since the end of April, bulldozers and excavators have been operating in the core area of the protected landscape, clearing coastal forests, removing dunes and cutting new access roads through previously untouched habitats.
163 experts call for an immediate halt to the hydropower project, citing an extremely flawed Environmental Impact Assessment and widespread irreversible ecological damage.
