Why this project?
Climate change is a significant threat to the border region bearing risks of floods, temperature extremes and increasing water temperatures. Both countries (North Macedonia and Serbia) is among the countries in the Europe that are expected to be most severely affected by climate changes.
In recent years, heavy rainfall in a relatively short time has occurred very often, due to which in some parts of the city of Kumanovo floods occur, because the system for drainage of atmospheric water and wastewater is clogged. At the same time in Vranje, in the city itself, there are rivers that are partially decorated with stone, but that surface is dilapidated and quite ruined.
Key stakeholder groups
- Public communal enterprises in Kumanovo and Vranje
- Municipalities of Vranje and Kumanovo
