| Summary: | This report provides a recommended
program for contaminated site management over a relatively
long (20-year) time horizon. This program will help Kosovo
to prevent potentially significant unforeseen consequences
in several economic areas, including real estate markets and
public budgets, and to avoid the pressure to accept
legislation that is not optimal for the country’s social and
environmental needs. The program will also assist Kosovo’s
compliance directly and indirectly with existing and
emerging EU legislation and strategies as a part of its
European Union (EU) accession candidacy. This report focuses
on the legacy from point sources (contaminated sites). The
recommended program is a well-defined and investable
program, strongly oriented toward capacity building and a
learning-by-doing approach for Kosovar stakeholders and
practitioners. The program reflects good practice in
management, policy, and regulation in other European
countries (Nathanail et al. 2013). Moreover, it builds upon
the World Bank advisory report on Developing a Program for
Contaminated Site Management in Low- and Middle-Income
Countries (Kovalick and Montgomery 2014). The intended
audience of this report is twofold. The technical assessment
sections (chapters two, three and Annex one, two) target
practitioners and stakeholders in contaminated site
management in Kosovo (including agencies, regulators,
planners, local authorities, site owners and operators,
academics, consultants, and contractors). The Executive
Summary and the guiding principles and recommended program
for contaminated site management (Chapter four) would also
be of interest to policy makers. |
