On 27 December, the first meeting with journalists was held as part of the program “Journalists in the field of energy and environment”. During this meeting the detailed program was presented for the participants as well as the current situation in Kosovo regarding energy and environment policies.
Mr. Avni Sfishta from GIZ – Kosovo Energy Efficiency Project spoke about the importance of media reporting on environmental issues, citizen awareness and the efficiency of institutions. He outlined some of the key issues in Kosovo, such as the use of coal as primary heating product, even though we know its impact on climate and environmental issues; and decarbonisation as a criterion to be fulfilled as part of the Integrated Plan on Energy and Climate – which at the same time is one of Kosovo’s main issues.
