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, which is near the chimney Kosova A, is affecting many residents’ lives. Many residents are blaming KEK for the death of many of their family members. However, on the other side, some KEK representatives are accepting the fault but at the same time claiming that there is nothing that can be done, considering that there is no sufficient budget to build a pro-environment plant house that would not harm anyone. 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.

In this article we can find some norms and interviews with some environmental experts. Some of them say that the air pollution in Kosovo is 3 to 6 levels higher than should be. One of the environmental experts says that the “Ferronikel” in Drenas is most polluted factory in Kosovo. Also, they inform us that Kosovo has a station when they can measure the quality of air. Also the cars pollute the air, but the government create a law, Kosovo's citizens can not register any cars which are older than eight years.

The point of this online article is that even though there are a lot of parks in Prishtina, people are not putting much effort to maintain them, as they should. There are litters everywhere; most of the wooden chairs are damaged, which does not give any good image of our behavior. Although Kosovo’s Municipalities had done some investigation for finding better ways to maintain the parks, still it is the citizen’s responsibility for their negligence. This source is very useful and the information is reliable since we have also the citizens’ comments towards the maintenance of the parks.the parks.
