Municipality of Prizren presents its final draft of the MDP for the public review

The municipality of Prizren opened the final public presentation of the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) on 12th of August 2011. The document was presented by Mr. Kerem Koramaz, representative of a Turkish and Kosovar consortium. The audience present at the opening of the presentation consisted of representatives of municipality, Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP), OSCE, ICO, and other international agencies and programs operating in the municipality of Prizren. The importance of the public review during the drafting process was emphasized by the presenter at the beginning of its presentation and it followed with the presentation of all phases of the MDP document. 
The director of the department of Spatial Planning within the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP), Mr. Agim Radoniqi, pointed out the importance of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) report to be drafted as a complementary part and a legal requirement of the MDP document. The reason for not drafting this document at the current stage was explained by the municipal representative, because in the time when municipality has taken the decision to draft the MDP the Law on SEA was not approved yet. The comments from the public raised the issue of the sustainability of this plan during its 10 year of implementation.
The public review of the Prizren MDP will be opened for 60 days and after this the document will be submitted to the MESP for the consent.
