The law for protection of park-forest Vodno will be finished next year

-

It is unreal to expect that the procedure for passing the decision for the Law for protection of the park-forest Vodno to be completed in a short amount of time because that precedes are several phases of realization, said Ana Petrovska, the State Secretary at the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, when asked by Meta Agency why this ministry hasn’t completed its task to prepare a law for protection of Vodno that was assigned by the government in August.

In August, the ministry of environment was given a deadline of 30 days to prepare the content of the law which will determine Vodno’s status and will be protected from any further urbanization and destruction. This task arrived this summer when civic protesters protested against the building of the gas line through Vodno and since it became clear that the status of this mountain is legally not entirely determined, it has allowed a realization of projects that is destroying a large part of the vegetation and the natural habitats at Vodno.

The interview with the mayor of Skopje Petre Shilegov for Meta confirmed that there is a political will among the parliamentary majority in favor of this law. The park-forest Vodno is under the jurisdiction of the city of Skopje, and the law should determine the obligation that the city of Skopje will have regarding this and recognizable city emblem and recreation zone.

What will precede the passing of the law for proclaiming Vodno as a protected area is the finalization of the study for revalorization of Vodno and a public debate, and in accordance to current laws, a Plan for managing with park-forest Vodno will have to be prepared. In the preparation of this law, a partner with the Ministry is the UNDP.
