Sažetak
It is well known that a severe environmental damage in the area of the Western Balkan Countries was caused by the recent war. Moreover, in some countries the transition process to the market economy amplified these effects. Furthermore, serious environmental concerns were raised about the release of toxic chemical factories and oil refineries, potential impacts to biodiversity, the damage of the natural habitat and the historical heritage, the destruction of existing wastewater plants and the contamination of air, soil, vegetation and water. At the moment, Western Balkan countries find themselves in a difficult economic situation and the environment is not considered to be a high priority. WEB ENV is a project aiming to address issues related to the making good of the consequences of the war in the environment through the extraction of conclusions for a number of common environmental problems related to Western Balkan countries in specific matters. Furthermore, the Project will examine these problems and will evaluate them while it will recommend the appropriate solutions. It will also support in particular the Community’ s external relations and development aid policies such as EU Water Initiative, the Commitment towards the Millennium Development Goals and the Action Plan for R&D Cooperation between EU and the Balkan Countries. More specifically, the main objective of WEB-ENV project is the development of general environmental guidelines concerning the region of Western Balkan Countries, with a particular focus on water resources, renewable energy and use of recycled materials. These guidelines could be useful for the formation of a generalized approach for the management of major environmental problems and natural resources as well.
