Municipal Assembly of Junik approves the Municipal Development Plan

The Municipal Assembly of Junik has approved the Municipal Development Plan on 29th of July, 2011. The municipal staff of Junik has drafted the MDP document, with the professional support of the Municipal Spatial Planning Support Programme (MuSPP) implemented by UN-HABITAT as well as Cultural Heritage without Borders (CHwB) both funded by the Swedish Agency for International Cooperation (Sida). Professional assistance was also given from the Institute of Spatial Planning within the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP).  MDP of Junik is the first example in Kosovo, drafted with a different approach in comparison from the current practice, where the plans are outsourced to the different companies for drafting. The plan also includes the report on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), now a formal requirement for the MDP. The drafting process of the Junik MDP involved public meetings, consultations and feedback on the quality of the draft versions of the plan from various groups of stakeholders such as the public sector, non-governmental organizations, business community, media and citizens at large. Now the MDP will serve as a framework for guiding the social, economic and spatial development of Junik.
