EU For Prespa - Infrastructure Improvements in the Prespa Area The Project “EU for Infrastructure Improvements in the Prespa Area” is an important part of the broader “EU for Prespa” Action, aiming at promoting the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans in the transboundary Prespa Lake area in line with the principle of leaving no persons and regions behind. The Project comprises a set of interrelated capital investments for infrastructure development and accompanying measures with far reaching beneficial impacts for the entire transboundary Prespa Lake basin/Prespa Park area.The Project will contribute to the preservation and improvement of the ecological system in the Prespa Lake area through a series of interlinked capital investments to be implemented within the boundaries of the Municipality of Resen and accompanying capacity development measures. These initiatives are designed to enhance municipal wastewater and solid waste management systems, redirecting harmful pollutants away from natural ecosystems. The Municipality of Resen and the public utility “Proleter” will benefit from carefully planned capacity development efforts, ensuring the sustainability of the newly introduced systems, and resulting communal wastewater and solid waste management services.Furthermore, the Project will contribute to enhancing transboundary cooperation and improving connectivity and mobility around the lake, through the opening of a new border crossing point with Greece, at Markova Noga. This, in turn, is expected to boost socio-economic and tourism development while fostering cooperation among the nations sharing the lake basin. All of this aligns with the main provisions of the International Agreement for the Protection and Sustainable Development of Prespa Park and the trilateral Strategic Action Plan for Prespa Park.
