Summary

Contacts with SDC in view of joint implementation were taken in middle of year 2001 and first project possibility explored in the region of Peja, but later abandoned due to the lack of appropriate land and funding. The MESP then proposed the implementation of two projects in the municipalities of Deçan and Skenderaj at the end of 2002. In order to strengthen their case to obtain funds from its own government, the MESP asked SDC for a letter of intent stating its willingness to participate in a joint financing. Such a letter was send on December 13, 2002 from SDC to MESP, indicating a possible contribution of 200’000 Euro from SDC side, to match the contribution of 250’000Euro from MESP. Further funds are allocated by the relevant municipalities.

A working group for the development and supervision of the project was created. The members of the working group were from the three parties.
