Cross-border cooperation between Greece and Albania: Towards a more effective management of the Vjosë-Aoos Water Basin.
Vlorë, November 10, 2023. After a successful visit to Ioannina in July of this year,
The Vjosa River Basin is situated in the southern Albania. Being considered as the last free-flowing river in entire Europe, Vjosa represents a great potential not only for the nature conservation values but also for the sustainable economic development via ecotourism activities.
However, because of a missing integrated, bilateral management plan for the river basin, Vjosa is facing many challenges.
Following the previous work on emphasizing the river importance and uniqueness in terms of nature conservation, EuroNatur and EcoAlbania as is implementing the “ESPID 4 Vjosa” Project that aims to strengthen the management efforts for sustainable development of the Vjosa River catchment by bridging the science-policy-society interface.
