1. Introduction
The socio-economic conditions in the Prespa Lakes basin are not uniform, it can be stated that
the economic development of the Prespa region is full of contrast: the lowest income rate is
found in Albania (700$ per capita), higher is in FYR of Maceodnia (2000$ per capita) and
substantially higher is in Greece (10 000$); However, challenges for integrated water resources
and ecosystem management are fairly common.
Management of the shared water bodies such as the Prespa Lake is largely subject to the legal
and regulatory frameworks and institutional settings of the littoral countries. The policies and
legal and institutional frameworks in Albania and FYR of Macedonia are under an on-going
(European Union) approximation process, at differing stages of completion. The EU Water
Framework Directive (WFD) is a key driving force with respect to the Prespa Lakes
management. Greece, as an EU member has to be compliant on the legislation, regulation and
implementation side with the WFD; the Greek Law 3199/2003 is the local directive for the WFD
implementation, along with other relevant regulations and restructuring of the national and
regional water management.
Transboundary cooperation for the management of the shared water body is in place through a
functional Prespa Park Coordination Committee. It is undergoing a process of building its
capacities towards taking over a transboundary integrated management of the Prespa Lakes
watershed. A Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis will be carried out to identify key
transboundary stresses over the ecosystem including their causes, while a Strategic Acton
Programme will address these by defining comprehensive and agreed measures.
1.1 Background
The Prespa region, combining the two Prespa Lakes (Mikri and Macro) and their catchment
basin, is shared by Albania, Greece and the FYR of FYR of Macedonia. The international
ecological significance of the area, and especially the need for sustainable water management
for the benefit of both nature and the inhabitants, led to the establishment of the Prespa Park
the first transboundary protected area in the Balkans with a Joint Declaration of the Prime
Ministers of the three littoral countries, in February 2000. Following the Declaration, an interim
joint body, the Prespa Park Coordination Committee (PPCC), was established by the three
Governments, for the coordination of planning and implementing activities in the region. The
PPCC is a non-legal entity that consists of representatives of the Ministries of Environment, the
local Municipalities and the NGO community of each state, as well as a permanent MedWet /
Ramsar observer. The PPCC holds regular meetings (twice a year) and is supported by a
trilateral Secretariat consisting of three officers from the collaborating NGOs.
The completion of the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) for the Sustainable Development of the
Prespa Park, in 2001, has been one of the main early accomplishments of the PPCC. The SAP
lays down a joint vision for the transboundary protected area, identifies the main management
issues and aims to guide future activities in Prespa. Reasons to the under implementation of the
SAP are various; ranging from the lack of funds, inadequate capacity of institutions - to the SAP
content itself in which the envisaged measures are not distinguished by their national and
tranboundary character, nor are they listed by order of priority.

TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
Divergent perceptions on the causes of environmental problems in the basin are slowly
converging through time, discussions and joint studies are carried out in the region in diverse
transboundary ecosystem management fields. Indeed, at the PPCC level consensus is reached
among the stakeholders on the necessity of special cooperation on water management on the
basis of Directive 2000/60/EC (EU WFD). This is of great significance taking into consideration
that two of the three countries sharing the basin are not as yet EU member states. The
Water Framework Directive is implemented in Greece through local legislation and regulation
framework, and where gaps exist, actions are under development for the compliance with WFD.
Thus, any activity undertaken, (such as the Regional Spatial Plans, Regional Solid Waste
Management Plans, etc) has to comply with this regulatory framework.
Within the framework of this transboundary GEF project, the three States have committed to
jointly developing a Strategic Action Programme for the Prespa Lakes Basin. A trans-boundary
diagnostic analysis (TDA)1 is an important tool/approach that GEF has adopted towards the
development of a Strategic Action Programme (SAP)2.
The REC has been appointed as an international Technical Task Team (TTT) to support the
development of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) and a Strategic Action Programme
(SAP). It will support the Task Leader by updating national data on the Prespa Basin and in
providing expert assistance in supporting the identification of relevant environmental quality
objectives, costing means to achieve these objectives and in preparing an outline financing
plan.
In the following Figure the management / operational structure of the project is given.

As it can be seen in the Figure, the REC consists of teams providing one person from the Head
Quarters and experts from the Country Offices in FYR of Macedonia (Project Director and
Deputy Team Leader) as well as CO Albania (two experts participating in the pool of experts). In
the pool three external experts are involved too-two from FYR of Macedonia and one from
Greece. In addition, an International team leader is being appointed to oversee the work of all
team members, either REC or external. The REC's overall responsibility in conjunction with
other team members lays within the boundaries of data collection throughout the process from
various official and unofficial sources. More details on the data sources and the data collection
process itself are given in chapter 4.
The TTT shall be closely linked to, and integrated with, the activities and the expertise within the
transboundary Prespa Monitoring and Conservation Working Group (MCWG). The technical
reports produced under this project component have been delivered to the TTT. It shall consider
the Transboundary (TB) priority parameters to be selected for monitoring as a basis for
identification of key stresses, to which the Environmental Quality objectives along with
measures to achieve these will be linked.
Apart from communicating closely with the MCWG, the TTT shall maintain close contact and co-
ordinate with both national components (in Albania and FYR of FYR of Macedonia) of the
UNDP/GEF Prespa Regional Project and the Greek focal point. Most of reports produced under
the national project components have been made available to the TTT. It shall closely observe
the progress of activities relating to cross cutting issues (such as the spatial planning/land use),
and agriculture, forestry, fisheries, as well as habitat conservation related activities being
undertaken by the trans-boundary component.
1.2 Objectives
The UNDP/GEF Prespa Park project's overall objective is to contribute to improving the health
of the Prespa Basin ecosystem, through transboundary consensus and effective trans-boundary
action, thus improving the ability and enabling commitment of each littoral country to effect
change within their respective national sectors of the Prespa Lakes basin.
The project specific objectives are as follows:
· Identify the immediate, intermediate and fundamental causes of priority stresses
over the ecosystem of the Prespa Park. The identification of causes will specify
practices, sources and whenever possible locations and human activity sectors
from which environmental degradation arises or is threatened.
· Identify, quantify, and set priorities for the environmental concerns that are
transboundary in nature, and
· Define realistic and feasible measures to prevent / mitigate priority ecosystem
stresses satisfying the citizen's demands and meeting, as much as possible,
both-the development and environmental objectives
1.3 Report structure

2. Description of the area
2.1 Institutions / Stakeholders
The principle stakeholders in three littoral countries are their respective Ministries which are in
charge of the environment. In Albania this is the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Water
Administration (MoEFWA), www.moe.gov.al; it proposes measures for the protection and
preservation of the environment, forestry and water resources and is responsible for the
implementation of water and forestry related policies. In Greece, Ministry of Environment,
Spatial Planning and Public Works (www.minenv.gr) and its regional offices are in charge of
Prespa Park TB issues. In FYR of Macedonia the ultimate beneficiary of the Prespa Park
UNDP/GEF project is the Ministry of Environment and Physical planning (www.moepp.gov.mk.)
It leads the approximation efforts toward aligning with the EU water related policy.
There are regional authorities in Albania and Greece the regional council of Korca and the
prefecture of Florina. Municipalities in the transboundary area that belong to the geographical
scope of the Prespa park are the municipality of Resen (MK), Municipality of Prespa (GR) and
municipalities of Liqenas, Proger and Qender Bilisht (AL).
Other related stakeholders which the TTT shall involve in the process are the NGOs and
representatives of the private sector, such as the associations of fishermen, associations of
agricultural producers, forest companies, management bodies of protected areas etc.
2.2 Geography
Prespa is a transboundary area shared by Albania, Greece, and the FYR of FYR of Macedonia.
It is a high-altitude basin consisting of two interconnected lakes, Micri Prespa (47.4 km2) and
Macro Prespa (259.4 km2), which are located at approximately 850m asl and surrounded by
forested mountain regions. The most prominent mountains are: to the East, Mt. Pelister (2,601
m) in the FYR of Macedonia and Mt. Varnous (2,334 m) in Greece; to the West, Mt. Mali i Thate
(2,288 m) and Mt. Galichitsa (2,254 m) in Albania and the FYR of FYR of Macedonia,
respectively, and to the Southeast, Mt. Sfika or Triklarion (1,749 m), in Greece. The catchment
area of the two lakes is 2,519.1 km2; it is anticipated as the project region, however, the borders
will extend to encompass the protected areas (National parks) upon the analyses of the forest
habitats and ecosystem / biodiversity.
2.3 Climate
The climate of the Prespa Lake area is mild continental-central European with Mediterranean
features. The average annual precipitation ranges between 600 and 900mm, and the wet
season lasts from October to May, but in higher ground conditions are generally wetter.
Snowfall is common from October until April. Wind velocities are low throughout the year.
2.4 Vegetation
The successive vegetation zones from the lakeshores to the mountain summits are: forest
formations (lowland woodland, deciduous oak, beech, and mixed beech-fir forests), sub-alpine
vegetation of dwarf shrubs, and alpine meadows. Apart from the aforementioned forest
formations, a considerable part of the catchment is occupied by reed beds, farmland, and
10 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
human settlements. More specifically, extensive reed beds can be found in parts of the Micri
Prespa lakeshore, and much less so in Macro Prespa; farmland and settlements occupy the
lower and more level parts of the Prespa basin, situated mainly in the FYR of FYR of
Macedonia, and to a lesser extent in parts of the Albanian and Greek catchment.
Forests in the Albanian part of Prespa consist primarily of oak (63%) and beech (15%). Illegal
logging for the collection of firewood, tree lopping for the collection of winter fodder, and
overgrazing of subalpine and alpine meadows seriously threaten these forests, and most of
them have deteriorated into unproductive shrub. Furthermore, during the years 1998-1992
some 270 ha were afforested with pines Pinus nigra and Pinus sylvestris, species not
indigenous to the area. According to the Prespa Park Strategic Action Plan (SAP), there is need
for a forestry development and management plan and a sustainable forestry system. In Greek
Prespa, there are six forest complexes covering 17,422 ha, managed either as coppice or as
spermophytic forests. An estimated 3% of the inhabitants are occupied in forestry. In general,
fully or partially forested areas cover 60.6% of the region.
2.5 Fauna
· Invertebrates: 16 endemic species have been registered.
· Fish fauna: A total of 23 fish species have been recorded, out of which 5 are endemic to
Prespa and 2 are endemic to the Balkans.
· Amphibians: 11 amphibian species have been recorded. Two species and four
subspecies are considered Balkan endemics. None of the amphibian species is directly
threatened.
· Reptiles: 22 reptile species have been recorded.
· Birds: The avifauna of Prespa has both national and international importance, due to its
richness but also due to the presence of significant populations of rare species of
international importance, such as such as the Dalmatian pelican, the White pelican, and
the Pygmy cormorant.
· From the 261 bird species that have been observed in the Greek part of the area, 183
are important, according to official catalogues, national or EC legislation and
international conventions. No detailed study to gather qualitative and quantitative data
has been undertaken so far in Albania and the FYR of FYR of Macedonia.
· Mammals: Among the mammals encountered in Prespa, four are in need of immediate
conservation measures: the wolf, the brown bear, the otter and the chamois.
2.6 Hydrology, Water Quality, and Hydrogeology
The Prespa catchment area includes two lakes: Mikri and Macro Prespa, and permanent or
seasonal streams, which discharge into the two lakes. The major Contributing waters to Macro
Prespa Lake are Golema Reka, Brajcinska Reka and Kranska Reka in FYR of Macedonia and
Aghios Germanos River in Greece. There is no major source of surface water input from
Albania to Mikri Prespa.
Specifics of Macro Prespa Lake are that water from this lake runs into Ohrid Lake through
underground flows and appears at Ohrid Lake coast and bottom of the lake. There were
average oscillations of the water level of Macro Prespa Lake in the period 1961-1986, from
when the water level started drastically to drop-down. For Prespa Lake-Stenje, analyses of
registered water levels for the period 1951-2000 show negative trends. Maximum levels Hmax
= 415 cm have been registered in 1963, then Hmax = 88 cm in 1978, Hmax = 241 cm in 1986,
after which pulling of the water from the coast started with water levels of Hmax = -300 cm in
11 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
1995 and Hmax = -175 cm in 2000. Average and minimum levels follow the same descending
trend. Absolute annual minimum of the water level of -445 cm, occurred in 2002. Insignificant
increasing of characteristic water levels has been noticed in 2003. According to the water
balances (KfW Feasibility Study Project Preparation & Development of the Transboundary
Prespa Park Project, Part V-Hydrology Report, 2005) it has been stated that the water level
fluctuations of the Macro Prespa Lake are predominantly related to natural variations in rainfall,
rather than human extractions and variations in the "karstic outflow" regime.
Inadequate land and water use planning and management are present in both Albania and FYR
of Macedonia, having resulted in a degraded shoreline, wetland and river beds.3
Unlike the Macro Prespa, Mikri Prespa has a surface outflow. Water flows from Mikri to Macro
Prespa through a sluice-gate controlled channel at the Koula location in Greece.
The hydrology of the two lakes is complex. For a complete interpretation of the observed
phenomena and management of the water regime a comprehensive study of the hydrogeology
of the region is deemed necessary. Basic data are being observed in previous studies (KfW
study Project Preparation & Development of the Transboundary Prespa Park Project, Part
V Hydrology Report, 2005); presently several experts are being engaged to prepare the
hydrological balance in the catchment and the TTT shall strive to create links with this ongoing
activity.
The absence of long-term, systematic water quality measurements is characteristic for the area,
all the existing data concern limited duration sampling, while the analyses are usually carried
out using different methods. Therefore, the results of any analysis must generally be treated
with a certain reservation.
The water quality of the lake is still good, and suited for drinking without purification. The water
quantity is dropping through an ever diminishing input (less precipitation in the past years) and
extensive irrigation (Crop production in Greece and water abstraction in Albania). The level of
the water surface dropped by around 5 m (maximum drop was 7 m) over the last 40 years.4
The lake water quality is deteriorating and showing signs of eutrophication expressed by
Oxygen depletion in lower layers of the lake. This phenomenon is reversible and related to a
number of natural and antropogenic factors that affect the lake water quality. Among the factors
that affect the lake most is the presence of nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorous, which
trigger a sequence of biological growth in the lake. The organisms consume oxygen that, in
limited quantities, is brought into the lake by atmospheric exchange.
Generally, the presence of nitrogen is more relevant in flowing water while it is the phosphorous
that constitutes the growth limiting factor in stagnant waters (lakes). A rough estimation of Ptotal
entering the environment (soil and surface waters) has revealed that agriculture contributes
significantly to the P-input into the natural ambient of the FYR of Macedonian side of Prespa
Lake.
3 The European Environment Agency, and specifically the Waterbase Database for lakes provides quality,
quantity, pressures and other policy related data for Mikri and Macro Prespa Lakes:
http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=1039 The database does not provide the
depth for the lakes of interest.

The discharge of raw wastewater originating from Resen and industries located nearby into
surface water has to be mentioned as the most important point source that contributes to water
quality deterioration.
The measurements in general show the Lake Prespa in mesotrophic condition (mean total
phosphorus concentration around 20 mg/m3), measurements during autumn revealed
significantly higher concentrations in deeper levels of the lake (concentration reaching 65
mg/m3 at a depth of 18 m). The increased phosphorus content could be caused by an
increased runoff/ wash-out of fertilizers from the cultivated land around Lake Prespa.
Man-induced soil erosion from cultivated land brings particulate phosphorous which normally is
not readily available for algae growth, but may become so over a longer period of time.
2.7 Demography and Economy
The area is sparsely populated, with ca. 24,000 inhabitants in all three countries. The vast
majority of the population resides near the lakeshore. The inhabitants are mainly occupied in
the primary sector of the economy; the tertiary sector is expected to increase in significance in
the coming years.
Primary Sector - Agriculture:
In the Greek Prespa almost half of the families (48%) generate their income in agriculture.
Steady increase in bean cultivation being observed in the past has recently started to suffer
from competitive pressure; vegetable and tree cultivation is constant, while cereal cultivation
shows a decrease. Land use in this sector is characterized by small individual parcels and
relatively low structural diversity; significant deficiencies in marketing and processing are
observed. The quantities of fertilizers and pesticides used in the Greek Prespa is linked to the
growing of beans as a dominant crop: the intensity of fertilization will be analyzed in the next
stages using available statistical data5, aiming to reveal if this practice may cause impacts over
the lakes ecosystem.
In the Albanian Prespa the main economic activity of the primary sector is agriculture. Only
2.1% of the arable land is irrigated (in 1985 the percentage was 54%) due to the destruction of
the infrastructure. Productivity remains low due to minimal mechanization, leading to low
incomes for the farmers. Fertilizers are not used in the region, which indicates its potential for
organic farming.
In the FYR of FYR of Macedonia, the most important agricultural sector is fruit growing (the
apple being the most dominant) and cereals. Almost all of the agricultural land (91%) is privately
owned; the use of fertilisers is rather intensive. This is to be confirmed via analyzing data to be
collected in the course of the UNDP/GEF national project on Reducing Environmental Impacts
of Agriculture in the Prespa Region".
Stockbreeding: On the Greek side, about 33.5% of the labour force is involved in animal
husbandry, especially sheep and goat breeding. Recently, a revival of cattle breeding has been
observed, as a secondary occupation. All stockbreeding sectors, however, face several
problems and deficiencies. In the Albanian Prespa, stockbreeding is recently taking a priority as

various impacts / stresses of the ecosystem

development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
well. Cattle breeding in the FYR of FYR of Macedonia do not represent a significant economic
activity and covers only the needs of the local population.
Fishing: The number of fishermen has been steadily decreasing. In the Greek Prespa,
approximately 13% of the labour force is involved in fishing. Since 1960, fish production is
steadily decreasing, due to over-fishing and overgrowth of the reed beds, as well as a decline in
the number of fishermen. A fishing association has been established in the area of Liqenas.
Currently around 65 fisherman members of this association have obtained the required license.
Fishing with dynamite is still ongoing, although it has drastically decreased since 2000. The
fishing activities are dependant on day-by-day market needs due to the lack of processing
facilities. The commercial fishery focuses on 5 main species, out of which Carp and Bleak are
the most appreciated. In both Albania and FYR of FYR of Macedonia, although there is lack of
statistical data on fish yield and fisheries, a decrease in fishing is observed.
Forestry: Although forestry constitutes an active industry in the Greek Prespa, only 3% of the
labour force is occupied in the sector with a very low contribution to their income. Fully forested
and partially forested areas cover 60.6% of the land area in the Prespa park region. On the
Albanian side, most local forests have in the past been degraded for the production of fire wood
and the collection of winter fodder, mostly for goats. Another threat is the overgrazing of sub-
alpine and alpine meadows. Reforestations that took place in Albania during the years 1988-
1992 used alien species. In the part of Prespa belonging to the FYR of FYR of Macedonia,
forests are managed by "Prespa Drvo", which is a regional unit of the central public enterprise
for management of forests, "Makedonski Sumi." Prespa Drvo manages approximately 494 ha of
coniferous forest, 13,000 ha of tall-trunked forest and 7,000 ha of small trunked forest,
occupying 75 workers. Forest management policy in the FYR of FYR of Macedonia promotes
sustainable management and combats illegal harvesting. Currently, there is a need for
additional measures for combating illegal logging and for the afforestation of degraded forest
areas.
Mining: There are no active mines in the Albanian and the Greek Prespa area, whereas in the
FYR of FYR of Macedonia six lime factories and a quarry of syenite operate covering local
needs.
The Secondary Sector
In the Greek Prespa a few processing units and a marble-processing industry operated during
the years 1969-1992, albeit with no great success. Nowadays, only a few fur workshops operate
in the Greek Prespa, organised as family businesses and employing about 25 people. There are
no secondary sector activities in the Albanian Prespa. In the FYR of FYR of Macedonia, 2500 to
3000 persons are employed in various enterprises, which, however, face economic problems.
The various industries of this sector create considerable pollution and are in need of specific
investments for their overall modernization. Examples of such Companies are as follows:
Agroplod, Prespateks, Algreta, Proimpeks, Prespaplast etc.
The Tertiary Sector
In the Greek Prespa, the tertiary sector occupies around 16% of the active labour force.
Commercial activities in the study region have created a very rudimentary infrastructure in order
to meet the basic needs of the local community. Services offered in the Greek Prespa mainly
relate to recreation and tourism and demonstrate a steady increase. The tourist period lasts
from June to September and the majority of visitors are young Greeks. The Prespa region has
several significant cultural and natural features, archaeological sites and monuments, small

TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
traditional villages and sites of special ecological interest. However, the tourist attractions of
Prespa remain relatively under-exploited, unknown and in a bad condition. Hence, promotion of
conventional or alternative tourism seems to be essential for the economic development of the
region and the preservation of its historical, cultural and ecological identity. In the FYR of FYR
of Macedonia, there is an expected increase in tourism over the next 20 years, which, however,
is also mostly seasonal. In Albania, the tourism sector is almost non-existent, due to
unfavourable economic conditions and lack of necessary infrastructure. Local development
plans in Albania show an increased interest in the development of rural tourism.
2.8 Municipal water and waste Infrastructure
Generally it has to be stated that the water supply level and the sanitary infrastructure is well
developed in the municipality of Resen (FYR of Macedonian part), but showing some
deficiencies as far as operation is concerned. Most of the population is supplied with water of an
acceptable quality and only a few "hot spots" in the sense of low sanitation level were observed.
Deficits of the source become evident in the dry season requiring additional support thus
generating increased operation costs. The area of Prespa in the Albanian part stands on a
massive limestone rock. In the entire area lying at the foot of the Mali i Thate, natural water
springs are a rare incidence. Drying out of a number of drinking water sources in this area is
evident. Only Lajthiza village is supplied with drinking water by a spring. All the other villages
are supplied with drinking water by the Lake. Water is pumped into reservoirs placed on
dominating heights above the villages from where it is distributed through pipes to the
households. Due to the rapid decline of the water level in the lake, pumping the water up is
hampered as the capacity of the existing pumps does not allow for the extension of the existing
pipes. This phenomenon has prompted the local people to drill in greater depths for new water
sources. The risk of biological contamination of waters abstracted for drinking water purposes is
obvious. Total Coliforms and E.Colli are present (28 col/100ml) according to the biological
analyses conducted by the Public Health Institute of Korca, thus the present water supply
system is in urgent need for improvement.
The collection system for wastewater covers almost all of the municipality of Resen with a
connection rate of about 80%.Treatment facilities for collected wastewater are existing in a high
number in the project area; these facilities have been, whether designed for communal
wastewater or installed in smaller units in hotels or industries, not functional in majority of cases.
The individual collection and treatment facilities do not satisfy accepted technical standards. In
Albania, only two the villages in the area, Liqenas and Zaroshka, are equipped with modern and
up to date sewage systems.
As for the waste management the situation is not in favour of maintaining the ecosystem health;
in FYR of Macedonia an organized waste collection system is available to citizens and
industries while in Albania local population is left to handle their wastes on their own. Disposal
of wastes remains a problem in both countries.
2.9 Protected areas
Prespa area is protected through the following:
In Albania:
· "Prespa National Park" (PNP), with a total surface of 27,750ha
In Greece:
15 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
· "Prespa National Forest" (PNF), of 19,470ha - the largest of the 10 National Forests
established in the country;
· Micri Prespa is a designated Special Protection Area (SPA) as an Area Important for
Birds pursuant to Directive 79/409/EEC on the protection of birds.
· Two Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) - the PNF and the Varnountas Mountain are
protected under Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and wild
flora and fauna (the Habitats/ NATURA 2000 Directive),
· Greek Prespa falls under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (ratified by Law
191/1974), since Micri Prespa is designated as one of the Greek Ramsar sites (wetlands
of international importance).
In the FYR of FYR of Macedonia:
· Strictly Protected Ornithological Reserve "Ezerani" (area: 2,080ha);
· National Park of "Pelister" (area: 12,500ha);
· National Park of "Galichitsa". (area: 22,750ha);
· Monument of Nature "Lake Prespa";
· Reserves of Fir (Abies alba), Birch (Betula verrucosa) and Beech (Fagus moesiaca) on
the slopes of Pelister Mountain (in areas of 7.6ha, 8.7ha and 5ha respectively);
· Several species of the flora and fauna of Prespa in all three countries are included in the
Annexes of the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural
Habitats, but no specific protection measures, as instructed by the Convention, have
been taken;
· Six areas of controlled hunting;
· Special Housing Zones, three Industrial Zones, and six Tourist and Recreation Zones.

development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
3. Key stresses in the Prespa Park
The following key stresses over the Prespa Park eco-system have been recognized throughout
the UNDP project:
1. Land-use management
2. Water management
3. Agriculture
4. Fisheries
5. Forest management
6. Liquid Waste Management
7. Natural Cycles
The TTT started the analyses concerning the relevance of these identified main sectors /
stresses and decided to initiate revision towards their formulation in view of the following
arguments:
· Main ecosystem and land use management related deficiencies originate from
inadequate capacity of institutions, their organizational set up and inappropriate
management of human resources; in addition, low awareness of both the
stakeholders and general public further aggravate the situation. Therefore the TTT
introduced the general stress being formulated as "Institutional framework".
· Socio-economic conditions are another important stress because the agriculture and
forestry are generating the majority of household incomes which in turn creates
conflicts with possible environmental quality objectives. Therefore the TTT inserted
another anthropogenic stress, so called "socio-economic issues".
· Liquid waste management was translated to the water management in view of an
integrated water management;
· Waste management was introduced: it encompasses various waste streams which
cause either pollution of soil and water (it may cause also air pollution / climate
change through emissions of persistent organic polluters-POPs and greenhouse
gasses);
· Agriculture was moved in Land use, water and waste management sectors
respectively in a way that agricultural practices (crop pattern, use of mechanization
etc.) become part of land use; irrigation and erosion is part of the water
management, while packaging waste from pesticides and fertilizers represent a
single (hazardous) waste stream to be dealt with in accordance with the EU and
national laws.
· For most of sectors additional stresses, and therefore sources / underlying causes
have been inserted based on the TTT experience; their relevance will be assessed in
the next project phases and consulted with stakeholders
Also, in order to determine the issues of common interest for the shoreline countries, the
potential transboundary impact is to be distinguished.
The following sectors / stresses are proposed for further analyses throughout specific project
phases:
17 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
1. Institutional and legal framework
2. Socio-economic issues;
3. Land use management
4. Water management
5. Waste management
6. Fisheries
7. Forest management
8. Biodiversity and protected areas
9. Natural cycles
There is an obvious overlap between some of elements above: they often lie at the border
between 2-3 policy fields (e.g. socio-economic activities which impact biodiversity or other
natural resources): rather than arguing on their appropriate placement in one sector or another,
attention should be given to ensuring that no key element is actually missing when analyzing
the causal chain of stresses for respective sectors, similarly to the method taken for selecting
priority monitoring parameters6.
This structure shall be discussed within the TTT and consulted with the UNDP/GEF project,
including the PPCC members. The table with preliminary analyses of above described sectors /
stresses is enclosed in Annex 1. The column on the potential transboundary impact is inserted
to indicate that such analyses will follow after the approval of the main stresses over the Prespa
Lakes ecosystem.

4. Approach
Links and relevance of the guidelines for the TDA / SAP7 for the TTT are given in this chapter.
Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses and the Strategic Action Programme are separated as they
are considered as two subsequent phases in the guidelines and the project ToR.
The consultant's approach responding to the ToR is described in mirror to the main phases
being distinguished in the guidelines. Some phases defined in the guidelines are not reflected in
the ToR since they are covered through an assignment which is outside the present Contract;
consequently, they are not included in this chapter.
4.1 TDA
Identify & locate transboundary issues (Scaling Scoping Screening)
The first stage in the TDA process is to agree on the transboundary issues. There an initial
stakeholder consultation is foreseen to highlight the main issues, which are subject to revisiting
by the TTT. They need to agree on whether or not the list is complete, examine their
transboundary relevance, determine preliminary priorities and examine the geographical and
temporal scope of the identified problems.
This part of the process is reflected in the ToR through the following items:
· To review the list of national stakeholder groups which have been already identified by
the GEF project, to update this list and to perform an analysis of national stakeholders'
expectations and needs with regards to the Prespa Park.
· To organise national stakeholder workshops (in close co-operation with the National
component of the GEF Prespa Park project) to reassess the potential problems
(pressures, stresses, impacts etc.) that are perceived to impact the ecosystem of the
Prespa Park. At least one stakeholder workshop should be organised in each country.
The results of these stakeholder discussions should be included in National Reports
(See report - R2 - below)
Main National Workshop's objectives are as follows:
· Agree on the TDA/SAP process and envisaged outputs
· Discuss and agree on key ecosystem stresses in the Prespa Park area
· Discuss and agree on the criteria for prioritization of key stresses, as well as on
the criteria for assessing their transboundary character / impact
· Confirm the list of stakeholders
· Confirm the list of information sources
REC is responsible for the organizing, financing and moderating the national Workshops. There
wll be three national Workshops: in Agios Germanos, Korca and Resen. Each workshop will
gather about 40 participants representing national, regional/local authorities, respective
7 Source: notes of Mr.Laurence Mee following discussions at the GEF TDA/SAP Course Design and Development Session
(DACUM) held at the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, Office of Legal Affairs, United Nations from 15 to 19 July
2002. They have been amended on the basis of the discussions held in the Second GEF International Waters Conference in
Dalian, People's Republic of China, 26-29 September, 2002 and further comments from the GEF Implementing Agencies, members
of STAP and the GEF Secretariat. They are designed for guidance but do not constitute official policy documents of the GEF.
19 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
Agencies, Academia and research institutions, health authorities, the private sector (fisheries,
agricultural producers, hunters, industries etc.), service providers (water supply/wastewater
management, waste collection, electricity distribution etc.), NGOs. All these stakeholders are
already being involved in various thematic working groups established under the UNDP/GEF
project. They will be invited to contribute to the creative process in setting the scene for the
TDA/SAP project analyzes.
Data collection concerning stakeholders' analyses started in the Inception phase and will
continue throughout the TDA period. Upon the sending out the invitation to workshop's
participants a questionnaire will be delivered to obtain the information on respective
stakeholders` role in the Prespa Park management. In addition, a self-assessment will be
carried on by stakeholders, concerning their capacity to take over some management tasks in
the future implementation of the SAP.
Responses to the questionnaire and the workshop's results will serve as a basis to the
diagnosis of the present institutional / legal framework and to highlighting their capacity to
address the transboundary approach in key areas, such as land use planning, socio-economic
development, management of protected areas and pollution abatement from various sources. A
number of UNDP supported actions are dedicated to improving these capacities; however, the
TTT shall prepare an integrated assessment in view of the future ownership over the project
results. It is expected that the national Workshops will initiate the stakeholder's analyses in spite
of their involvement in the definition of key ecosystem stresses, starting from the anthropogenic
pressures (institutional and socio-economic issues).
Where available, official (technical and financial / economic) data will always be used; if this
differs from other data, these differences, will be highlighted. However, the TDA/SAP outputs
shall be subject to approval by the three countries` stakeholders and therefore the focus will be
on official information.
Analyses of potential problems (pressures, stresses, impacts etc) started in the Inception period
based on the UNDP/GEF list of preliminary identified stresses. Their transboundary relevance
will be assessed upon the National stakeholders' workshops. In addition, through the expertise
being made available through the TTT, availability of information will be assessed and the
importance of identified gaps for assessing the scope / magnitude of transboundary impacts.
Agreement on preliminary contents with ITA/TL for the TDA will follow based on the proposal of
the TTT in this inception report. These will be discussed upon the National workshops as well.
The preliminary Agenda for National Workshops is given in Annex 3. The list of participants is
given in Annex 4. Criteria to assess the stresses magnitude and transboundary impact will be
developed in the next stage, prior to organizing the workshops.
National Workshops will be organized in a way that all the interested stakeholders will be able to
discuss the anticipated transboundary stresses that will be assessed in view of stakeholders`
authority and capacity to undertake specific and feasible mitigation measures.
Gather and interpret information on environmental and socio-economic consequences of
each issue
Detailed information should be gathered on the consequences of each of the medium and high
priority issues in the region. Joint government and local groups (such as the present working
groups, the PPCC members as well as the national focal points and national UNDP project
20 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
units), shall help gather information and identify key transboundary issues and consequences
through collaborative processes.
This phase is indicated in the ToR as follows:
· To gather updated information from national sources, that meets the agreed needs of
the TDA. A draft outline of the information expected is presented in Annex 2 (including:
data from more recent national censuses, activities undertaken in support of the EU
Water Frameworks Directive in Greece, EC CARDS support for WFD in Albania and
FYR of FYR of Macedonia, and from other activities of the GEF Prespa Park Project,
including the activities of the Monitoring and Conservation Working Group, other
projects/surveys, etc.).
· To prepare three draft national reports (R2) to be used in the synthesis of the TDA. The
national reports should provide summaries of the stakeholder analyses, the approach to
governance within Prespa Park, pressures, impacts and stresses in the Prespa Park,
agricultural land assessments, biodiversity, etc. reflecting the information outlined in
Annex 2 and further described during the inception meeting. The national reports will be
subject to approval from relevant national authorities responsible for Prespa region (i.e.
the PPCC members and others). It is essential that all sources of information are
appropriately acknowledged. Where appropriate this data should be presented in
graphical formal or on a map of the Prespa Park.
The TTT already initiated communication with some relevant stakeholders to start collecting
background information as to compile the info in the following format:
(a) to describe the issue itself (using available data showing changes over time, etc.);
(b) to examine the impact of the issue from an environmental perspective (e.g. high
concentrations of chemical pollutants may be an issue but what is the evidence of impact on the
natural environment); and
(c) to examine its social and economic effect (e.g. How many people have their health
impaired by chemical pollution? What is the economic cost of the damage to health and the
natural environment?).
The national reports will be supported by thematic / sectoral reports. Upon integrating them into
National reports the so called "environmental profile" of the transboundary area shall be
created. In this way the potential of the area will be assessed in terms of natural resources, the
variety of its ecosystems and its biodiversity, but also its constraints and environmental risks
biogeophysical, economic and social. As a result of the thematic reports three national reports
will be generated.
A set of status indicators for data presentation will be agreed (these could be monitoring tools in
the SAP). Some of indicators are proposed in the scope of technical reports for the Monitoring
and Conservation Working Group (which originate from relevant EU Directives). The TTT shall
examine to which extent use of these indicators will be possible in view of available (and
reliable) data
The National reports will be quite brief (typically some 5 pages per issue) and shall contain
objective and quantitative8 information whenever possible. Climatic Change will be analysed as
8 A web-based list of typical indicators are made available from IWLearn and will be used as a blueprint by the TTT.
21 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
this is a catalyst to all the (adverse) environmental processes. In addition, an overall
significance of the issues in the region will be assessed and will be spatially determined in
thematic maps. The shapefile that was produced during the development of the SAP in 2001
will be asked for from authorities.
Alternative to this is the CORINE Land Use dataset (in scale of 1:100,000), which will be one of
the base datasets for the report.
However:
· Image maps of higher resolution can be produced when the parent satellite imagery will
be used (15 meters resolution maximum)
· Maps of scales of 1:20.000 or 1:50.000 or even higher accuracy can be produced,
depending always on the accuracy of the parent datasets used.
Definition of urban, residential and waste management spatial data:
· Border polygon data for the urban area borders may be requested from the
municipalities or the responsible national or regional agencies.
· Point or polygon data with the location of the waste management areas of the local
municipalities may also be requested from the appropriate agencies.
Complete causal chain analysis
Completion of a causal chain analysis for each of the priority issues will follow using the mixture
of expertise offered through the TTT - scientific for the immediate causes and social and
economic for the underlying causes.
In the ToR this step is formulated as following:
· To participate in a TTT / GEF-project team workshop (M2) to present the national reports
and to participate in discussions to identify the: (i) key stresses on the ecosystem in the
Prespa region, (ii) the priorities of these concerns, (iii) the underlying causes of the
stresses, (iv) additional gaps in information, etc.
Methodology for conducting causal chain analyses has been developed for the Global
International Waters. Examples of causal chains are available and these shall be used to
facilitate the process. Some basic elements of this process / method were given in the REC
technical proposal and they are valid for the exercise. However, this workshop will primarily be
facilitated by the TL.
The causal chain analysis to be carried out upon the TTT/GEF project team workshop will help
to locate potential areas of intervention for the GEF and other institutions interested in initiating
and funding future measures. This phase shall set the basis for the Environmental Quality
Objectives and the SAP.
Complete an analysis of institutions, laws, policies and projected investments
The TTT should carry out a cross sectoral study to be closely linked to the causal chains
themselves. The analysis should examine problems of implementation and compliance as well
as an overview of the legal and policy mechanisms as a basis for recommended
policy/legal/institutional reforms. It is also important to understand the spectrum of relevant
projects, programmes and investments that have been approved or are in the pipeline for the
22 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
forthcoming decade. Investment project cycles are generally very long and it is important to
understand the current development portfolios as an integral part of the TDA.
This issue is not reflected in the ToR. However, the TTT shall address it in the Synthesis report,
as a result of the findings in National reports in combination with results of the TTT/GEF project
team workshop. Major input to this will be provided from existing UNDP/GEF activities.
Hold stakeholders meeting to review TDA
The public participation mechanism for the draft TDA should involve at least one meeting of the
key stakeholders and may include review by a wider audience according to the public
involvement plan. For the purposes of the stakeholder meeting(s), the draft executive summary
should be made available in relevant languages. The graphical representation of the impacts
and immediate causes should also prove very useful at this stage.
This task is defined in the ToR in the following way:
· To participate in a stakeholder meeting (M3), to support the presentation of the draft
TDA by the TDA/SAP Task Leader. The meeting will be organised by Prespa Park Co-
ordination Committee / UNDP-GEF Prespa Park Project.
Executive summary of national and the Synthesis Technical Report will be available in three
languages at the website of the UNDP/GEF project and also at the PPCC website prior to
organizing the stakeholders meeting. Establishing an integrated and sustainable management
of shared resources will require that all the countries agree on the taken approach. It will be the
main goal of the stakeholder meeting (M3), where the TL will present the draft TDA. The main
outcome of this workshop will be the understanding of the Problem tree, as a basis for the
definition of Environmental Quality Objectives and the Strategic Action to meet them. TTT will
participate in the process as appropriate.
4.2 SAP
TTT proposes `vision statement' of long-term EcoQOs
The TTT examines the `vision' for each priority issue. An acceptable "environmental status9
signifying a solution for each issue represents a long-term Ecosystem Quality Objective.
The ToR defines this task as follows:
· To provide expert input into identifying ecological quality objectives (EcoQOs) and the
means to achieve the desired EcoQOs for the Prespa Park, including assessments of
the costs for implementing mitigation measures. The Contractor will be expected, on the
basis of information agreed in the TDA, to suggest potential EcoQOs that can be
presented and discussed at a TTT/ GEF-project team workshop (see below). This
should be presented in a draft report (R4);
· To participate in a stakeholder meeting (M3) that presents the proposed approach to the
development of the SAP (linked with the TDA stakeholder meeting). The meeting will be
organised by Prespa Park Co-ordination Committee / UNDP-GEF Prespa Park Project.
9 Note that the final outcome of GEF interventions should be reflected in improvement of the state of the natural environment (or its
protection from degradation). The EcoQOs should therefore reflect the long-term tangible outcomes in terms of state change and
not process or institutional changes. These will be reflected in the management objectives (see subsequent paragraphs).
23 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
In response to above tasks, the Consultants will take the approach being exploited in relevant
GEF IW projects. Namely, an adaptive process will be applied including the following:
(a) establishment of long-term Ecosystem Quality Objectives (EcoQOs) for identified key
problems / stresses;
(b) most practical and achievable short-term (project length) measures for making substantive
progress towards resolving the problems;
(c) setting up of time-limited operational objectives as project targets;
(d) defining appropriate process, stress reduction and environmental and living resource status
indicators to monitor progress;
(e) consultation with stakeholders on the proposals
(f) ensuring of appropriate institutional measures in place to oversee implementation of the
agreed joint actions (for the UNDP/GEF project the ultimate project beneficiary is the PPCC);
The stakeholders` meeting, following the TDA meeting is aimed at finalising the work on the
TDA and sets the agenda for the SAP development. The main outcome of this meeting,
however, will be the stakeholders` input for the definition of the Environmental Quality
Objectives. These should be tangible, measurable and easily communicated to the public.
Above described criteria for definition of EcoQO will be used.
Conduct feasibility study of options
The next phases of the SAP as observed in the guidelines do not correspond with the tasks
prescribed in the ToR. In the following lines short description of required actions is given.
In the guidelines there is a more profound approach proposed involving feasibility analyses of
alternative options for meeting the objectives. Instead, in the ToR the following tasks are
foreseen:
· To participate in TTT /GEF-project team workshop (M4) to present / discuss
recommendations for EcoQOs and means to achieve these.
· To revise EcoQOs and other material as a result of the conclusions of the TTT / GEF-
project team workshop
· To identify, review and report (R5) potential financing options for the measures to meet
the EcoQOs that are appropriate and realistic for the region.
After obtaining stakeholders input to definition of the EcoQO the TTT will brainstorm with the
aim to examine each EcoQO and identify possible options for achieving them. The process will
involve developing a matrix of options, which part of the causal chain they address, timeframes
for implementing them, responsible parties and relative costs (where possible). It should also
assign indicative priorities to the solutions proposed. This matrix will be the basis for further
technical evaluation. Results of this exercise will be discussed at the TTT/GEF project team
workshop.
· To revise EcoQOs and other material as a result of the conclusions of the TTT / GEF-
project team workshop.
As part of the regular planning process, the findings/recommendation of the project team
workshop will be integrated in a way that the sectoral and cross-cutting environmental quality
objectives will be revised reflecting the workshop's results.
24 of 80
TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
· To identify, review and report (R5) potential financing options for the measures to meet
the EcoQOs that are appropriate and realistic for the region.
According to known TDA / SAP projects, the following types of cost estimates can be conducted
determining the required funding to meet environmental quality objectives:
(a) Economic and ecological evaluation of the natural resources;
(b) Analysis of costs of the actions to meet the targets for each EcoQO;
(c) Analysis of the value saved by meeting the targets identified by specific actions of the
project; and
(d) Analysis of the benefits obtained after the SAP project is complete.
The Consultant will use the above assessments or their combinations, as appropriate.
Whenever possible, unit costs for specific actions (legal/institutional, investments, capacity
building and public awareness) will be taken from the National Strategy for Environmental
Approximation (2008). For the investments in infrastructure additional sources will be consulted.
Cost for adaptation / mitigation measures in the field of Climate change will be estimated based
on pilot technologies (biomass energy, hydropower, solar panels, energy efficiency etc.). All the
available sources of information for the cost estimations will be appreciated; however, the
consultant shall make additional analyses for the sake of accuracy of assumptions.
For example: As for the wastewater management, it appeared clear from the analyses already
made10 that the treatment of wastewater in rural areas would not be possible to be linked with
the existing sewerage system gravitating to the WWTP in Resen; therefore constructed
wetlands would be the best solution for the scattered villages which are located in the hilly
terrain. Calculations for the implementation of this measure will be done based on cost
estimates per population equivalent.
· To submit a draft final report (R6) to the ITA and TDA/SAP Task Leader.
Based on previous project phases, the TTT will produce the draft final report.
· To participate, in support of the ITA and TDA/SAP Task Leader, at a final stakeholder
workshop (M5) that presents the draft final SAP.
The TTT will support the Task Leader in presenting the SAP to the regional stakeholders.
· To update information and revise draft final report as required within two weeks of the
stakeholder workshop and submit a final report (R7).
The TTT will incorporate remarks/recommendations from the stakeholders` workshop into the
Final report.

Inception Report (R 1), brings forward the TTT's Approach linked to the TDA/SAP guidelines.
In this respect the main sources of information are identified, key stresses in Prespa Park are
observed and their reconsideration commence. In addition, draft content and format of data to
be collected in the next phases is proposed. Last, but not the least, the Work Programme
including main project milestones (meetings / deliverables) is drafted.

4.5 Phase 1: TDA
After the Inception period the TTT shall collect, assess and evaluate updated information from
national sources, that meet the agreed needs of the TDA; the process will spread by the end of
January 2009. Three National Stakeholder Workshops (M2a) (in close co-operation with the
National component of the GEF Prespa Park project) will be held to reassess the potential
problems (pressures, stresses, impacts etc.) that are perceived to impact the ecosystem of the
Prespa Park. They are planned for the first week of February (3-6.02.2009). Results of this work
will contribute in setting an outline of the Three Draft National Reports (R2) and to revising the
priority stresses in the Prespa Park area. Discussing the results of these stakeholder workshops
within TTT will contribute to getting a common approach on how they should be included in
Three National Reports; a provisional outline of National Reports is given in Annex 2.
Reports are to be rendered by 20th of March 2009. At the end of the TDA process there will be a
TTT/ GEF-project Team Workshop (M2b), where the Three Final National Reports (R 3) will
be presented with the aim to identify the: (i) key stresses on the ecosystem in the Prespa
region, (ii) the priorities of these concerns, (iii) the underlying causes of the stresses, (iv) identify
additional gaps in information, etc. This phase will complete by the end of March, beginning of
April 2009. The Draft Technical Report and Final Technical Report (R4 and R5) will be
submitted by end of May 2009.
A Stakeholder Meeting (M3), to support the presentation of the draft TDA by the TDA/SAP
Task Leader will be held in June. TTT will assist the TL in facilitating the stakeholders` input for
the definition of the Environmental Quality Objectives (EcoQOs) at the Stakeholder Meeting
(M3).
4.6 Phase 2: SAP
Expert input into identifying Environmental Quality Objectives (EcoQOs) and the means to
achieve the desired EcoQOs for the Prespa Park, including assessments of the costs for
implementing mitigation measures will be provided by the TTT in the course of summer 2009.
Recommendations and outline cost estimates for measures to meet potential Ecological
Quality Objectives (EcoQOs) for Prespa Basin will be drafted in the same period. Summer
2009 is suitable for making accessible all the key deliverables produced by the TTT to the
public. A kind of public consultation will be initiated through forum to be created at the UNDP
website.
The TTT / GEF-project Team Workshop (M4) to present / discuss recommendations for
EcoQOs and means to achieve these is scheduled for mid/end of June.
As a result of the conclusions of the TTT / GEF-project team workshop he TTT will revise
EcoQOs and other material identifying, reviewing and reporting (R5) potential financing options
for the measures to meet the EcoQOs that are appropriate and realistic for the region by 11th of
September. This date will coincide with submitting the Draft report; holding the Final
Stakeholder Workshop (M5) that presents the draft final SAP in support of the ITA and
TDA/SAP Task Leader is planned for end of September, whereas the Final Report (R7) shall be
submitted by mid of October.

TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
4.8 Data Collection Method and Sources of Information
Data collection will be carried out through approaching various sources of information:
· UNDP transboundary and national components project offices
· Institutions (statistical offices, ministries, institutes, universities, agencies etc.)
· Use of web available sites
· Coordination with ongoing projects (EU, NATO funded etc.)
· Networking with members of the respective working groups being established under the
UNDP/GEF project
Comparison of data from various sources and their assessment in terms of relevance / validity
will follow. Scope of data will have to reflect the requirements of the Water Framework Directive,
Habitat and Bird Directives, as well as the requirements of the IUCN Red list of species.
Most of the outputs under the national and transbounday UNDP/GEF components are being
received by the REC. These will be used to update the information which is provided in the
existing SAP. Relevant information from available reports is summarized below.
Albania
Economic Analysis Prespa Park Project
Draft Report, June 2008
Report [provides the following assessments:
A. Assessment of the ecosystem set up aspects in terms of physical affiliation it establishes with
nature
B. Economic analyses of the most distinguished values of the PA with relevance to
anthropogenic impacts
C. Assessment of CDM related issue
Mainstreaming Ecosystem Health Priorities into Forest Law
Report provides conclusions and recommendations on mainstreaming forests and forest
ecosystem health priorities into Prespa NP and Forests and Forest Service towards the
sustainable management with emphasis to legal/regulatory framework.
Mainstreaming Ecosystem Health Priorities Into Agriculture Basic Legislation
Report provides an assessment of the regulatory framework in the agricultural sector,
identification of crosscutting issues with water, forest, and fishery management, in view of the
future integrated watershed management. Recommendations on how to introduce the
environmentally friendly agricultural practices and enable integration of environmental concerns
into agriculture related legal framework.
Mainstreaming Ecosystem Health Priorities Into Fishery Law
Main problems being identified to affect fishery are: (i) increased fishing effort, (ii) reduced water
levels, (iii) eutrophisation, (iv) undeveloped FMO etc.
In the report there are two major areas for intervention recognized: 1) the collaboration between
the DFP and the FMO members which should play an active role in co-managing these

TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
ecosystems, and 2) the collaboration of neighboring countries through the establishment of a
scientific political Committee for the unification of the legislation and the harmonization of
interventions in the lake
Mainstreaming Ecosystem Health Priorities into Hydrology and Water Resources
Management In Prespa Lakes
This report highlights data on the water balance / fluctuation of the Prespa lakes, the water
quality issues as well as recommendations on how to improve in the future the trilateral
management of the Prespa park basin.
FYR of Macedonia
Reducing Environmental Impacts of Agriculture in the Prespa Region
A monitoring equipment was procured as a result of this project, to help in establishment of an
early warning system that is the most important step in providing extension support to local
growers that will lead to reduction of the pesticide input in Prespa. Locations for the equipment
and the data collection method, analysis and dissemination of information (advice,
recommendations) to local growers on the optimal pesticide use were determined as well.
As a support to the UNDP Bratislava agriculture support project, field based equipment for soil
analyses and soil moisture monitoring equipment was procured within the PDF-B project (this
was UNDP CO Skopje contribution to the PDF-B and the regional agriculture project). This
equipment needs to be used for training of people from the agricultural associations and the
extension service on optimal use of fertilizer and water for irrigation in apple production in
Prespa. Experts who need to deliver these trainings have to be hired by the Agriculture support
project.
Trans-boundary cooperation: Good cooperation between the two project offices in Resen (FYR
of Macedonia) and Korca (Albania) already exists since the beginning of the PDF-B project.
After the completion of Albanian project's work-plan, the both offices need to foresee activities
that need to be implemented under the output 4 of the project (Mechanisms for improved trans-
boundary cooperation and transfer of best practices introduced). Strong input on the cross-
border activities will be needed by the UNDP RC Bratislava and UNDP COs in FYR of
Macedonia and Albania.
IPPC
This report defines subjects to obtaining of B integrated permits within the municipality,
assesses the potential pollution sources in respective industries and proposes an institutional
setup to carry out the IPPC permitting at local level in accordance with the law on the
Environment.
Integration of The Ecosystem Health Maintenance Objectives and Practices
into the Spatial Plan for the Prespa Region
Report brings forward best practice examples of European local plan preparation. Exploration of
three different planning models, namely in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and one of the
countries in the former Yugoslavia is carried out upon a request of stakeholders. Planning

context and background, looking at a regional planning example and then focusing on local plan
making is given for all considered planning patterns.
Support for integration of Ecosystem Oriented Forest Management in the Prespa region
Sustainable ecosystem oriented management guidelines were produced along with an Action
Plan for Sustainable Forest Management (ecosystem-oriented forest management) practices
that will be implemented in two selected pilot areas within the Forest Management Unit "Leva
reka/Bigla.
Transboundary component
Prespa Park - Communication and Education Public Awareness Strategy
Communication, Education and Public Awareness Strategy and Action Plan itself. It is
composed of three parts: the strategy and objectives, the target groups and actions and the
implementation arrangements (which include information on staffing, budgeting and evaluation
of the plan's execution).
Transboundary Fish and Fisheries Management Specialist

gaps, priority threats to the Prespa lakes ecosystem, fish conservation priorities, drafting
guidelines on sustainable fisheries, assist in harmonization of the fisheries related legal
framework in three litoral countries, recommend on establishment of protection zones,
protection of spawning areas, maintenance of riparian forests etc,; in addition, the consultant
should assist in the establishment of efficient wardening for illegal fishing by end of 2009; also,
he/she will be involved in capacity building of relevant fisheries management organizations.
Monitoring and conservation
A working group is functional towards providing the following major outouts from this activity:
1. Guidelines for the definition of indicators, through which the selected values will be
monitored; for the determination of joint indicators and special (national or local) indicators
and relevant criteria.
2. Guidelines for the methods for recording indicators
3. Guidelines for the definition of institutions to implement monitoring system in each country
(one or more?);
4. Guidelines for trilateral coordination and administration of central transboundary database;
required procedure
5. Guidelines for existing and required equipment
6. Guidelines for conducting a needs assessment on GIS requirements, for assessing current
status of data and availability and for identifying options for a low cost user-friendly GIS
integrated information management system
7. Guidelines for training to implement the monitoring system; who will provide the training and
how.
This transboundary activity is highly relevant for the present project.
Tourism Development
This project activity is in initial phase: it shall result in a ToR for a company to undertake the tri-
lateral Tourism Strategy and Action Plan; when defining the proposed process for the
development of the tri-lateral tourism strategy and action plan, the consultant is expected to be

sensitive to the particular challenges faced in the Prespa region and propose creative ways to
ensure `political buy in' and timely endorsement of the strategy.
Water Management
There are a number of reports being developed under this transboundary component, out of
which the legal/technical aspects of the future integrated watershed management are tackled. In
addition, the activity includes a brief situational analysis of current and planned water
management and related practices, as well as of related institutional capacity in the three
Prespa littoral States. The ongoing process of introducing appropriate legal measures for the full
transposition and implementation of the EC Water Framework Directive and for engaging in
meaningful transboundary cooperation in respect of the Prespa Lakes is presented as well.
4.8.1 Identified sources of information
In the following lines a revised list of sources of information is presented. In addition, the
relevance of specific data for the identification of key stresses in the Prespa Park is given. The
TTT shall strive to obtain quoted documents through various communication lines as indicated
in previous paragraph.

offices are in charge of issuing and enforcing the spatial planning regulations. ESDP principles
and ESPON methodologies are implemented upon the spatial planning (polycentricity,
subsidiarity and accessibility are values generally used in spatial planning and in countries
outside EU).
There are various planning levels represented, starting from regional to local. Existing planning
documents will be used for definition of the land use patterns and land use conflicting with
conservation priorities.
FYR of Macedonia
In FYR of Macedonia the Regional plan for Ohrid-Prespa area is of high importance and
relevance. It is available at the Ministry of Environment and Physical planning. Its adoption is
planned for beginning of 2009.
There are no spatial plans for the concerned area in the Prespa Park of the Albanian part.

Greek). Most probably they can also be provided by the Ministry of Rural Development and
Food (www.minagric.gr). This will be checked upon the national workshops.
For FYR of Macedonia and Albania national UNDP components will be consulted with regard to
available data on forestry planning in the region. Also, the Public Forest Management
organizations will be approached.
In addition, the following documents are highly relevant for Albania:
1) Qirjo, M. 2000-2001. Local tradition on forest use in Prespa Park.
2) Qirjo, M., 2005. Rehabilitation of Forest and Pastures of Liqenas Commune.
3) World Bank project. Management Plan for Forestry and Pastures of Liqenas Commune
TRABOREMA project
In addition to other UNDP / GEF supported project activities, the TRABOREMA project will be
analyzed. The main document is available to the TTT; however, it will be requested from
responsible authorities to obtain more details on the research which is highly relevant for the
subject matters of the TTT.
Namely, the TRABOREMA project uses the EU Water Framework Directive as a guideline,
aiming to set a monitoring system in the Ohrid/Prespa watershed, in order to determine
environmental pressures and impacts in terms of ecological quality ratios, as a base for the
simulating various scenarios for the lakes` future ecological status.

TTT for the collection, assessment and evaluation of national information in support of the (TDA) and
development of a SAP in the Prespa Lakes Basin
4.9 Resource Plan
The team members will cover specific fields as following:
Socio-economic and institutional issues of importance for the TDA process and SAP
implementation
Water management issues relating primarily to the Water Framework Directive
requirements and related transboundary issues
o Hydrology and water balance (availability of water, water demand, present water
users etc.)
o Water supply and wastewater management
o Ecosystem's pressures, such as water pollution, flood, drought and erosion;
climate change impacts if appropriate
Segregation of ecosystems and related land use, such as:
o Urban/rural systems and their development plans
o Transport systems
o Agriculture / forestry / mining
o Semi urban and natural landscapes; corridors and buffer zones
o Protected areas and protection regimes
Definition of the "environmental profile" and producing thematic maps, by defining spatial
references to identified ecosystem's stresses / pressures
Definition of main stresses, setting of Environmental Quality Objectives and defining
means to achieve these along with rough cost estimates
4.9.1 Tasks and Time Schedule for International Consultants
The core management (the Team Leader and the Sub-Team Leader) will coordinate above
described inputs, providing also the expertise on the land use and spatial planning, social and
economic analyses and cost estimates associated with the strategic action plans. The Team
Leader will closely cooperate with the international experts: with Dimos Anastasiou he will work
on definition of the "environmental profile" With the Magdolina Toth Nagy the International
expert on the implementation of the Aarhus Convention and stakeholder analyses in the TDA
processes in CEE, he will work on ensuring the transparency and the effectiveness of the public
participation process. Team Leader will obtain also support in the definition of the costing outline
of the Action Plan from the international experts in the team. However, the national team will
also be actively involved in abovementioned key areas.
In the following tables the main tasks and duties of the international experts are given.
