- Assessment of innovative low-cost remediation technologies

An integrated dissemination plan foresees activities like: development of an environmental web portal, organization of workshops, and participation in worldwide environmental events like congresses, conferences, exhibitions etc. The development of general environmental guidelines is expected to contribute to the formation of a common environmental policy and sustainable management of natural resources, to arise peoples' sensitivity in crucial environmental problems, to contribute to the economic development and to provide assistance to all the stakeholders involved with the enhancement of the political and social situation in Western Balkans.
