The point of this online article is that even though there are a lot of parks in Prishtina, people are not trying to maintain it, 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 Municipality had done some investigation for finding better ways to maintain the parks, still 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 toward the maintenance of the parks.

This online article argues on how the neighbors of the “Taukbashçe” neighborhood are complaining about the destruction of the environment, the fountain, and the noise of the tractors’ tanks. According to the citizens, the ones who are responsible for all this are the employers of the “Hortikultura” Company. They argue that every day, 15 to 20 tractor tanks fill their reservoirs with water from the fountain. These tanks are doing damage to the environment and are making a lot of noise. Seems like, the reason that the employers are taking this huge amount of water is not just for watering, but rather for other purposes.
