This article/blog was written by Arben Salihu from Balkans-Regional Reporting & Sustainable Training. He clearly points out very important issues on how the current situation in the village of Dardhishte that is near the chimney Kosova A is affecting many residents’ lives. Many residents are blaming KEK as a result of many dead family members. However, on the other side, some KEK representatives are accepting the fault but still claiming that there is nothing to be done considering that there is no sufficient budget to build a pro-environment plant house that would not cause harm at no one. This article tackles the deep reality of many Kosovars who are suffering from this issue therefore; it would be a very good article to find arguments.

This online article is about the project that is related to the environmental management in Kosovo. It focuses in the huge impact that Trepca (lead and zinc mining facility) causes to the environment. The investigation tried to determine the extent of the heavy metal pollution of the nearby river and found that the mining waste is a source of heavy metal pollution to the river. Also this project argues that the pollution contains health risk to the population. This project analyzes some tools which might help Kosovo’s environmental management of Trepca in the future.

 This article discusses the issue of air pollution in particular matter and heavy metals of Kosovo Thermal Power and it is written by Arbneshi, Rexhepi,and Rugova.

Considering that Kosovo is a mountainous farm region which in the past was in the process of industrialization because of its rich coal and mineral resources, the problem of air pollution in the surroundings of power plants appeared as early as 1954 when Thermal Power Plant of Kosovo started working in Obiliq. As a result, the Iber River is mostly exposed to the pollution caused by several metals, such as zinc and copper; therefore this is a very good article that can be used to argue about the pollution in Kosovo.
