The first source is a document published by Firdezi Bekteshi and it’s called “Challenges facing Kosovo.” Moreover, in this document the author explains how Kosovo is a landlocked territory in Balkan Pennsylvania, and what its environmental problems are.

As a result of wasted water, there is a high incidence of water-borne diseases causing the society many health problems. He also states that: “Recent chemical and bacteriological monitoring show that the majorities of Kosovo’s rivers are polluted and may not even be used for industrial needs without prior treatment” meaning that the cost of cleaning the water is very high, so the government may not consider it in their agenda because they might not have the money to afford its treatment.
