INTRODUCTION

• BackgroundRapid urban growth of Prishtina - the capital of Republic of Kosovo effected developments beyond the harmonic balance of community, environment and economy. Kosovoa is facing lack of capacity in terms of qualified and experienced environmental managers, necessary when rising questions: how to manage sustainability environment? Which appropriate forms, contest, methods and authorities to use when building human and health environment?

• StakeholdersKey stakeholders in promoting and implementing environmental assessment are

government in close working consultation with the building

and design institutions, through consultation with expert comity

consisting of Government, Construction Industry and NGO representatives.

Specific things I learned from my colleagues

• 1. Different types of projects need different types of partnership, policies and instruments. This can be achieved by fully integrate all stakeholders in local environmental management process,

• 2. Environmental management can lead the way on climate change with velocity and scale,

• 3. We need to continue to dramatically optimize our use of energy and materials in ways that are delightful and cost effective. E

Specific things I learned from the period in Sweden

• 1 Coordination between different levels of authorities,

• 2 During the group work (specific case studies and discussions) on

Projects of change I have learned that to design good project is needed

activity with a clear beginning and an end and with defined goals,

objectives, resources, outputs and outcome,

• 3 Strong institutions are key factor in implementing strategies

For Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas. This I have

learned after good organized visits of a number of institutions and

areas of special interest in regards to our topic.

• 2 More atention in ipmlementation phase and help (from organizer) with sugestions for financial support in home countries
