Municipality of Junik is the first municipality in Kosovo which took a different approach to draft the Municipal Development Plan (MDP). Contrary to the general current practice of outsourcing the plans to local and/or international companies, which often involves high cost, Junik did it mainly with its own resources.

On date 15 October 2010, starting at 11:00 am, in “Oda e Junikut” restaurant in Junik, Junik Municipality is holding the opening ceremony of the public review of draft- Municipal Development Plan 2010-2023+. The public review of MDP will be open until 11.00, 15 December 2010. The public review is the last chance for inhabitants and different stakeholders to provide their views, comments, and raise issues as well as provide proposals to the plan before this plan is sent to the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning for consent and the final approval by Municipal Assembly of Junik.

Those engaged in drafting this plan are Municipal Directorate for Urbanism, Geodesy and Environment, supported in this process by the Municipal Spatial Planning Support Programme, implemented by UN-HABITAT and financed by Sida, the local NGO “Cultural Heritage without Borders” and the Institute for Spatial Planning within Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning.

The Junik MDP is a comprehensive, multi-sectoral document that aims to provide clear vision and goals on future spatial development if this territory.

We hope to have your presence in this ceremony.
