Evidences of urban degradation in Prizren

EC Ma Ndryshe has continued to oversee the work of municipal executive during the month of July. In this period, the focus of oversight has been set on the sector of urban planning and the constructions within the Historic Centre of Prizren. Just in the first six months of 2012, the Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments in Prizren had issued 62 consents for constructions or interventions within the Historic Centre of Prizren. It is disturbing that a considerable number of constructions do not follow the original project designs and the construction permits issued by the municipal authorities. Although do not retain any obligation whatsoever for proceeding requests to the Directorate of Inspection, this Institute, in the past three years, has sent over 25 requests for ceasing the construction works or for demolition of those constructions for non-adherence to the project in line with the consent issued by the Institute and in accordance with the principles envisaged for cultural heritage in the Historic Centre of Prizren.
