MESSAGE fROM ThE MINISTER Of INTERNAl AffAIRS Of ThE REpUblIC Of KOSOvODRRS aims to reduce the existing risks and prevent new risks, empower sustainability, including the country’s primary responsibility to prevent and reduce the disaster risks, and engagement of the whole society and government institutions. The scope of DRRS is significantly expanded and focused on the natural risks and environmental and technological related risks.
Natural disasters and technological disasters are rapidly and intensively increasing; significantly hampering the progress towards the sustainable development; generating new risks; increase of disaster related losses that have an economic, social, health, cultural and environmental impact. The facts show that the exposure of persons and assets, in all countries, has rapidly increased rather than the overall vulnerability decreased.
DRRS is a cross-cutting, comprehensive, achievable, effective and efficient strategy aiming to reduce the NDTD risks. To understand this, the disaster risk management, for governmental of-ficials at all levels, civil society, communities and volunteers as well as the private sector, must be increased through exchange of experiences, lessons learnt, best practices and training and education on disaster risk reduction, including the use of existing mutual mechanisms of train-ing, education and learning.
International, regional, cross-regional and cross-border cooperation remains important in sup-porting the efforts of countries, their national and local authorities, as well as the business com-munities on disaster risk reduction. Taking this into consideration and in order to reduce disaster risk, there is a need to address the existing challenges and preparations for future challenges, focusing on monitoring, assessment and understanding of risk disaster and exchange of such information and on how is created the disaster risk management strengthening and coordination of all institutions and relevant sectors and full and meaningful participation of stakeholders in relevant levels.
Prevention of new risks and reduction of current disaster risks, through implementation of inte-grated and overwhelming economic, structural, legal, social, health, cultural, educational, envi-ronmental, technological, political and institutional measures that prevent and reduce the ex-posure and vulnerability from disaster risks, increase the preparedness, response and recovery, hence strengthening sustainability.
The Republic of Kosovo, as a new developing country, needs increase of coordinated, sustainable and proper international support and disaster risk reduction, knowing the facing with specific challenges for development and strengthening of domestic prevention, preparation, rehabilita-tion and recovery capacities, therefore, international, regional, cross-regional and cross-border cooperation remains important in supporting the efforts of the central and local governing au-thorities, as well as the business communities on disaster risk reduction. For that reason, the insti-tutions of the Republic of Kosovo must cooperate with development international financial insti-tutions, such as the World Bank and regional banks, and should analyse the goals of this strategy for provision of financial support and loans for integrated disaster risk reduction in the country.
4 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
Disaster risk reduction is a cost-effective investment in prevention of future losses. Effective di-saster management contributes to sustainable development. The country must improve its ca-pacities on disaster risk management. The institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and other central and local jurisdictions will be mainly responsible for the implementation of DRRS.

7DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
EXECUTIvE SUMMARYNatural disasters in Kosovo present a great risk for the life, wealth, environment and cultural heritage of its citizens. In fact, the whole process of economic and social development of the country is vulnerable to natural disaster risks, which often cost millions of Euros to the economy, and especially affecting the community in need. Being a new country, Kosovo has not yet built full capacities for natural disaster risk reduction at all stages of the emergency management. This strategy that includes the period 2016 - 2020 is a substantial document aiming to coordinate the work of actors in the local level, relevant ministries as well as the foreign and local donors to reduce disaster risk and at the same time contribut-ing to sustainable development for Kosovo. This document is the first strategy on risk reduction in the Republic of Kosovo and as such will serve as a baseline on which the disaster risk reduction programme will be built and activities coordinated for coming years.
The main goals of this strategy (2016 - 2020) are the following:
•Integration of risk reduction in development policies and plans, as well as oversight;•Strengthening of risk management capacities by NDOD;•Creation of safe and resilient communities from disasters; •Awareness raising and urging of institutions and entities for the risks from NDOD.
Added value of the strategy will be that for the first time Kosovo will have a single document that contains all fields related to natural and technological disaster risk reduction. The strategy also is in compliance with the international standards; furthermore its goals are in line with the Sendai Framework Action, as well as the European Strategy for Supporting Disaster Risk Reduction in de-veloping countries (2009). The DRR is related to the Declaration of Medium-term Policies Priority (DMPP) of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo 2014-2016, defines the framework for the policies and projects which the Government of the Republic of Kosovo plans to implement during the future medium-term period 2014-2016. Chapter 2 “Good governance”, Article 3.2 Strengthen-ing and implementation of the law, “Managing emergency situations will continue with the exist-ing policies: building of operational capacities.”1
The strategy is in compliance with global efforts and the requests placed by the international com-munity and the European Commission, as a global effort within the United Nations Programme for Disaster Risk Reduction and Global Warming.
The following chapters will be focused on the main issues that lead to decisions to set actions for risk reduction in Kosovo. The First Chapter elaborates the methodology used to draft this strategy. The Second Chapter describes the profiles of disasters in Kosovo outlining the essential problems addressed in this document. The Third Chapter contains the priorities of this strategy starting with the vision, mission, strategic objectives and measures by which the success of this strategy will be measured. The Fourth and Fifth Chapter investigate, discuss and require alternative solutions, and the legal and institutional context upon which the strategy is based on. The Sixth Chapter elaborates and highlights the policies deriving from this strategy, which are included in the action plan reflecting activities, duties and responsibilities of relevant institutions, measuring indicators, time frames and cost. Finally, the Seventh Chapter provides monitoring and evaluation criteria to ensure successful implementation of the DRR Strategy.

8 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
INTRODUCTIONAfter declaration of Independence, on 17 February 2008, the Republic of Kosovo undertook “the obligations of responsible membership at the international Community” and accepted to “abide by the principles of the United Nations Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, other actions of the Orga-nization on Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the international legal obligations and prin-ciples of international comity that mark the relations among states.”
Kosovo has achieved success in many aspects of its development, such as: political and economic stability, amendment of legislation, building of security infrastructure and the emergency man-agement capacities turning into a factor of stability in the region.
Based on the Law on EMA2, the Emergency Management Agency (EMA)/MIA is the main insti-tution responsible for coordination and management of emergency situations and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), which coordinates and cooperates closely with the central and local institutions, NGOs, civil society, private sector, etc.
Kosovo already has become part of economic integration in the region, aiming to expand its mar-ket further more. The purpose is to increase the level of competitiveness in economy by increasing its exporting capacity to reduce the trade deficit that Kosovo currently has. As an important place for business development, Kosovo offers a set of comparative advantage such as: young very well qualified population, significant natural resources, viable climate conditions, new infrastructure, and geographic position with access to the regional market of CEFTA and the European Union, a place that inspires other powerful economic-financial mechanisms, such as World Trade Organiza-tion (WTO), etc.
Kosovo has a rich cultural heritage from the antique citizenships to the current one, which inherits a rich cultural treasury that is integral part of the world cultural heritage. This rich heritage is in every part of Kosovo, such as: parks and archaeological and natural centres, art galleries, photog-raphy and film archives, castles and fortresses, cult monuments and settlements, cobalt and alleys, fountains and its museums, artefact collections, artisan works, etc.
Central institutions and other relevant entities at the state level that were closely consulted for this strategy include: the Office of Prime Minister (OPM), Ministry of Environment and Spatial Plan-ning (MESP), Hydrometeorology Institute of Kosovo (HIK), Red Cross of Kosova (RCK), Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST), Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Develop-ment (MAFRD), Ministry of Health (MH), Ministry of Economic Development (MED), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), private sector, Business Alliance, etc.
The emergency situations caused by NDOD or human activities endanger the lives of people ev-ery day and causes losses of material goods. The disaster risk exists in all societies as disasters impact in the reduction of development trends of the society in general, whereas their occur-rence in a country may cause losses not only to the country affected by the disaster but also in a broader area. Interweaving of abovementioned factors requires drafting of a National Strategic Document/Plan, at a country level, on natural disaster risk reduction and preparedness for a bet-

ter response in the Republic of Kosovo, which includes prevention, preparedness, response and recovery stages.
This strategy that includes the period 2016 - 2020 is closely linked to the below objective of the Kosovo Government related natural disasters3:
- Specific objective in the area coping with civil emergency.- Conducting separate studies in order to prevent emergencies from natural disasters, as
well as the preparation and enhancement of the capacities for response to emergencies.
The basis for DRR Strategy is found in the Law No. 04/-L-027 on protection against natural and other disasters, AI 02/2012, as well as the Document of the Risk Assessment of Natural and Other Disasters that was drafted pursuant to the Regulation No 28/2012. The DRR Strategy (2016 - 2020) is also in compliance with national and international documents, such as: Strategic Document of the Republic of Kosovo, Integrated Emergency Management Sys-tem (IEMS), Security Strategy, Strategy on Climate Change 2014-2020, Sustainable Development Goals set pursuant to the United Nations and within the Sendai Framework for Action 2015-2030: Development of national sustainability and community in natural and other disasters, etc. Apart from this, when drafting the National Strategy, European Union Internal Security Strategy and the European Strategy for Supporting Disaster Risk Reduction in developing countries were also taken into account.4 The DRR Strategy will also serve as a guideline of Kosovo for membership to “European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction.”

10 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
CHAPTER I:
METhODOlOGYTo draft the DRR Strategy, Kosovo was supported by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and consulted professional experts of the National Platform for Natural Hazards (PLA-NAT) of the Swiss Confederate, benefiting from the best practices and as well as professional study visits/experience exchange were conducted.
By Decision 05/10, on 29.10.2014, the Chief Emergency Management Agency approved estab-lishing of a working group to draft the strategy with the representatives of the following entities: Emergency Management Agency/Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Office of Prime Minister, Ministry of Local Governance, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ministry of Agriculture, For-estry and Rural Development, Ministry of Finances, Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, Ministry of Health, Ministry of European Integration, whereas in the capacity of experts there are UNDP officials and inter-ministerial water council. Aiming a multidisciplinary risk reduction ap-proach and integration of these phenomena in the country’s development policies and plans, the working group, after a three day seminar, met regularly on monthly basis to supervise the progress and plan the future steps. Ministries and other relevant institutions, which are not part of the working group, were consulted, such as: Ministry of Health, Agency of Food and Veterinary, Agency for Protection from Radiation and Nuclear Protection, etc. so that the strategy would be as comprehensive and meaningful as possible.
The group of experts from PLANAT always, at different stages of the strategy development, pro-vided consultancy about the content of the strategy. Finally, some phenomena such as climate change, ionizing and flooding are not dealt within this strategy, as they are covered by relevant sector strategies.

CHAPTER II:
bACKGROUND
2.4.1. Problem
This strategy deals specifically with the Natural and Technological Disaster Risk Reduction. Kosovo is exposed and significantly vulnerable to natural and technological disasters. In the territory of Kosovo these are distinguished seismic areas: Ferizaj-Viti-Gjilan, Skenderaj, Mitrovica, Peja-Gjako-va- Prizren-Dragash and Kopaonik. The highest expected magnitudes are: Ferizaj-Viti-Gjilan (6.5), Skenderaj (5.0), Mitrovica (5.0), Peja-Gjakova-Prizren-Dragash (6.6) and Kopaonik (6.0).5
The last earthquake in Istog with the highest strike occurred in 2010 in the western part of the country and reached magnitude 5.2. In April 2002, Gjilan was struck by an earthquake of magni-tude 5.5 that caused significant damages to the infrastructure and material goods. According to the Seismologic Institute, around 10 earthquakes with low intensity are registered every day in the country6.
The natural disasters that frequently strike and risk Kosovo are: flooding, fires, geological, biologi-cal and meteorological events. The recent database with historical data developed in 2015”DesIn-ventar Kosova”7shows the main natural and other disaster risks in Kosovo. In total, according to DesInventar findings, approximately 14400 persons are affected by disaster every year, around 1÷2 persons lose their lives, whereas the economic damages reach €8.5 million with 1228 houses and 1261 hectares of land struck by disasters. Kosovo is affected by natural disasters as follows: forest fires (74 %), mainly in Prishtina, Kamenica and Deçan; flooding (82%), mainly in Ferizaj, Ra-hovec and Skënderaj;Meteorological events (39%) specifically in Podujeva, Ferizaj and Gjakova. Natural disasters are considered as phenomena that affect the security and lawful state.8Taking into account the low level of social and economic development, as well as the increasing envi-ronmental problems, natural risk disaster in Kosovo is considered to have significant damages to socio-economic development.9

2.4.2.Background of natural and technological disaster risk
The effort to reduce natural disaster risks in Kosovo, same as in the world, is a problem that de-teriorated in the last 15 years of transition, that is due to the phenomenon of climate change, in-dustrialization of the country, damages caused during the war, informal settlements, lack of plans and non-implementation of environment protection measures, forestry and riverbeds degrada-tion and waste disposal. Based on the statistics provided by DesInventar10, the number of disasters marked an increasing trend by years in 1999÷2014, starting with the overview of the forest fires below:

As for flash floods and flooding the same trend is noticed, where phenomena is increasing on yearly basis, almost 90% of a total of 264 occurrences that occurred in 2000÷2014. Overall the number of occurrences is increasing reaching the maximum quota (68 events) in 2006. In the last 15 years, at least one flooding occurred each year in the country, approximately 18 events per year.

Based on the natural disaster history, landslides marked a gradual increase especially in 2012-2014, by approximately 2 occurrences per year.
chart 4. Time trends of earthquakes, period: 1456-2014.
The earthquakes in 1851 ÷ 2013 also reflect an increasing trend in the last 20 years. However, this could also be as a consequence of lack of data prior to 1993, when only large scale natural disas-ters were registered.
In terms of monetary terms data from past disasters also from DesInventar reflect an increasing trend of economic losses since 2000. For instance this is demonstrated in the following graph on floods for the period 2000-2014.

15DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
2.4.3. Comparison with regional countries
Kosovo, being a country in transition as a result of 1998-1999 war and with a low economic and social development, faces more challenges as far as DRR is concerned. Compared to the regional countries, such as: Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo established new state institutions, which mainly started prioritizing more the DRR by the end of 2000s.
In general, as mentioned, due to low economic, social and environmental development, natural disaster risk for Kosovo is significant because of high probability of population that may be af-fected (high vulnerability).
16 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
2.4.4. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis
STRENGTHS:
1. The applicable legislation1sets the duties, responsibilities and mechanisms of institu-tional coordination.
2. EMA is a coordinating institution for NDOD in Kosovo.
3. The program of the Government of the Re-public of Kosovo includes DRR in the Dec-laration of Medium-term Policies Priority 2014-2016.
4. There is a vast spectre of governmental and non-governmental institutions involved and active in the area of DRR.
5. Adjustment of the program and plan of ac-tivities to increase the awareness of both levels of governance about NDOD.
6. There are national basic documents: Docu-ment of the Risk Assessment of Natural and Other Disasters Document on Risk Assess-ment (national and local level) and the Na-tional Response Plan.
7. Public and private institutions of high edu-cation provide accredited courses on DRR.
8. MEST approved the Kosovo Curricula Frame-work and the Core Curricula.
9. Kosovo institutions carried out activities on DRR, but they were not defined as such.
WEAKNESSES:
1. The DRR system including laws, policies and regulations is still unconsolidated.
2. Kosovo institutions lack capacities for man-agement of natural and other disasters.2
3. Kosovo has more mechanisms focusing on emergency management of natural and oth-er disasters, instead of their prevention and reduction.
4. Disaster Risk reduction in not included suffi-ciently in government plans and policies
5. There is a lack of clear mechanisms of respon-sibility and accountability for implementation of laws and policies related to DRR.
6. DRR is not yet a priority of the government for allocation of necessary means from the national budget, including prevention, pre-paredness, response and recovery.
7. There are insufficient technical and organiza-tional capacities for natural and other disas-ters risk management including early notifi-cation and alert system
8. Inter-institutional coordination on DRR is still at its early stage.
9. DRR statistics and database are still very lim-ited.
10. Lack of access to live data including the lo-cation and space data, such as Geographic Information System (GIS) on DRR.
11. Little implementation of awareness activi-ties and community awareness for creating a safe and resilient community
12. Traditional knowledge and practices are not sufficiently integrated in the DRR system.
17DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
OPPORTUNITIES
1. Kosovo aims to implement the Sendai Framework for Action (2015-2030).
2. There is a bilateral agreement for support with Turkey, Croatia, as well as agreements for cooperation with Macedonia and Alba-nia.
3. The Disaster Inventory Management System (DesInventar) in order to consistently draft policies and plans.
4. Supplement of the current legal framework with broader inclusion of the emergency management cycle: prevention, prepared-ness, response and recovery.
5. Inclusion of risk assessment in the develop-ment plans.
6. Development and coordination of warning and early warning and alert system at all levels of governance.
7. Inclusion of Euro-codes and seismic micro zonation, as well as the scientific researches in the development (spatial, urban, infra-structural, etc.) plans.
8. The presence of international organisations provides a good opportunity for support of and implementation of this strategy.
THREATS
1. Low level of economic and social develop-ment is one of the indicators that disasters in Kosovo might have major consequences.
2. Insufficient funding of DRR in the govern-ment and foreign donors’ programmes.
3. Kosovo is not a member of UN and relevant international mechanisms, which causes the lack of funds and means benefited from differ-ent grants of the international programmes for DRR capacity building.
4. Construction infrastructure and treating of river banks as a result of lack of urban plan-ning and concrete projects does not meet the DRR requirements.
5. Non-implementation of applicable legal pro-visions increases natural and other disaster risks.
6. Overload of inter-institutional coordinating mechanisms with bureaucratic and admin-istrative formalities, which would decelerate the flow of information and decision making.
7. Listing of new risks is a continuous challenge. 8. Non-implementation of strategy in the whole
territory of Kosovo.
This strategy specifically addresses these problems related to Kosovo’s capacities to cope with natural disasters:
- Lack of inclusion of disaster risk reduction in development policies and plans.11
- There is a need for capacity building and strengthening of governmental institutions in early warning.12
- The need of drafting, developing of programmes and trainings to establish secure and sus-tainable anti-disaster communities.
- Listing of new risks, analysis and prevention measures are a continuous challenge for suc-cessful implementation of this strategy.

18 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
2.4.5. Addressing by the Government
The Government of Kosovo is committed to undertake all necessary measures to address above-mentioned issues, also accounting for the support of the strategic international partners, such as the organisations: United Nations, European Union, bilateral and multilateral agreements as well the donors.
2.4.6. Existing and planned activities
The Emergency Management Agency, as a coordinating body of DRR carried out some activities in this area with agencies that are planned to also continue in the period covered by this strategy, such as:
Early warning system
EMA will, in cooperation with the Hydrometeorology Institute of Kosovo (HIK) and the Kosovo Geological Survey/Division of Seismology, institutions responsible for monitoring and early warn-ing of natural events that cause natural disasters, establish an effective system of electronic com-munication between these two institutions and EMA, in regard to early warning of natural di-sasters, so that it could serve EMA for drafting of a natural disaster plan and risk prevention or reduction activities, in cases when these disasters are alerted by the responsible institutions.
Establishment of a history of natural disaster data - DesInventar
EMA in cooperation with the organisations of the United Nations (UNDP and UNISDR) established the first historic database on Kosovo natural disasters -DesInventar, which will be a starting point for analysing the key factors and will serve to the governmental institutions and scientific re-searchers to draft DRR plans and prevention measures.
Public communication and awareness of citizens on DRR
The central institutions support the local governance and developing communities on implemen-tation of risk reduction plans, response mechanisms, training of response teams in the community and risk mapping. EMA continuously updates DesInventar with data from the governmental and local institutions and informs the public continuously by updating its web site (http://ame.rks-gov.net/) with the latest information on emergency events and effects in the country.
Addressing the risk factors
In the spirit of Sendai Framework, EMA coordinates relevant cross-cultural mechanisms against natural and other disasters in Kosovo through the Inter-ministerial Council and the Secretariat for monitoring of development of the strategy and action plan.
19DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
Human capacity building
EMA continuously, through trainings and courses, supports the key players of relevant central and local institutions whose responsibility and duty is the emergency management.
International cooperation
EMA is a participant in international projects: - Building resilience to disasters in the Balkans and Turkey13including the support for region-
al capacity building in the area of cross-border and cross-regional cooperation, as well as the exchange of information.
- The EU IPA Programme on Civil Protection14aiming to provide/exchange the best practices from EU countries and the region on the early alert system, monitoring, support of the host countries and emergency operational centres -112.
- UNDP/UN is committed through its project: Kosovo Disaster Risk Reduction Initiative and other future projects to continue supporting and strengthening of governing capacities at central and local level, as necessary.
- The European Commission, through IPA Programme (Civil Protection II and Flooding) will continuously support the Government of Kosovo in effective disaster management by ex-changing experiences with other neighbouring countries and through practical desk exer-cises.
- The Red Cross Federation will support the community assisting with: response against di-sasters, monitoring and reporting through its volunteers.
- International organizations: UNICEF, Save the Children and UNDP will continue the support through school programmes and other activities at the education institutions for imple-mentation of DRR.

20 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
CHAPTER III:
STRATEGIC fRAMEWORKVISION – development of a fruitful, effective and comprehensive system for natural and techno-
logical disaster risk reduction, integrated emergency management system that would contribute in the increase of security and sustainable development in the country.
MISSION– Development of an integrated system for protection and rescue, creation of conditions for building of a sustainable society to confront natural and technological disasters in the Republic of Kosovo.
PURPOSE- of the Strategy is to contribute in achieving the sustainable development, integration of disaster risk reduction to development plans and policies and community capacity building to confront with disasters.
SCOPE- the Strategy focuses on natural disasters and other types of disasters including techno-logical Disasters that affect Kosovo. A full list of these threats are included in the Docu-ment for the Risk Assessment15 devised in 2009 and revised in 2016. Regarding critical infrastructure and other security threats these will be dealt with in other legislation16 that is currently being drafted and hence not included in this strategy.
3.1. STRATEGIC GOAlS AND MEASURES TO bE TAKEN
STRATEGIC GOALS1. Integration of risk reduction to development plans and policies
and oversight
There is no appropriate environment as: disaster mechanisms ne to be strengthened especially those related to DRR, political engagement of the institutions is low and also there is no budget for DRR. Institutions have no specific capacities for natural and other disasters and laws and strategies are not properly followed up with monitoring mechanisms.
The Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy determines the will of the Institutions of the Republic of Kosovo for cooperation, coordination and unified approach of the central and local institutions and international partnership to confront with natural and technical-technological disasters, and the challenges resulting from them.

21DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
Disaster risk reduction is not a separate science, but it is closely related to all development poli-cies and processes of a state. Development of developmental policies and plans both at central and local level, taking also into account the role of private sector and civil society, requires multi-dimensional and proper involvement in the area of disaster risk reduction, especially in the area of spatial planning, developmental plans, implementation of construction codes, climatic adapta-tion, health, infrastructure, agriculture and forestry, education, etc. By including the integration of plans and policies by line ministries at a higher level for DRR is in compliance with the interna-tional standards.
2. Strengthening of capacities for natural and other disaster risk management
Risk governance, according to Sendai Framework,17 should be built by understanding disaster risk including the aspects of risk, vulnerability and capacity building.
With reference to the SWOT analysis, understanding the natural and other disaster risk phenom-ena remains insufficient for Kosovo institutions, especially towards the emergency response. Also there is a lack of support and sense of understanding that natural and other disasters must be priority in capacity development, leaving it with less financial and human support. The new risks are also not analysed appropriately and the natural and other disaster risks assessments in the municipal plans are not carried out according to the standards, therefore, human and technical capacity building is important, as well as the clear determination of the roles and responsibilities of the DRR system.
Strengthening of DRR system requires investments in scientific and technical capacities and treat-ment as an essential component for economic and social development to produce the necessary effects with alert information that is registered, researched, predicted, analysed and modelled for disasters that might threaten the country, it is of special importance that the scientific institutions dealing with monitoring, processing and researching of the causes of natural disasters to enable an effective prevention and as less damages as possible from natural disasters.
DRR system to be strengthened in the aspect of monitoring, assessment and promotion of data related to risks/disasters in a comprehensive manner that would enable further researches and development of the system.
3. Creation of safe and resilient communities from disasters
Disasters take a higher toll at communities unprepared to confront with natural and other disas-ters. In order to have a community safe and resilient from disasters, there is a need to raise the level of institutional and social awareness with long-term awareness programme approaches and con-crete investments in many fields, such as: education and school curricula, disaster management in
17 United Nations, 2015, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, http://www.unisdr.org/inform/publications/43291, accessed on December 11, 2015.
22 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
the community and the use of knowledge and research to build a sustainable society.
Taking into account the social, gender, economic and cultural diversity aspect in Kosovo, special attention should be given to the most vulnerable communities, such as: persons with disabilities, communities that live in extreme poverty, communities concentrated in natural disaster areas as well as the drafting of plans and programmes with the purpose of educating and raising aware-ness of the communities, especially of the children and the new generation. Scrutiny of these plans and programmes as well as their pragmatic, practical and careful implementation and insti-tutional commitment, both the central and local level, followed with an awareness and outreach campaign, through portals, media, leaflets, radio, newspapers, social networks, etc. provides for the creation of a safe and resilient community, but sustainable, towards disasters.
4. Awareness raising and urging of institutions and entities about natural and other disaster risks
Kosovo, as a developing new country, with new institutions and systems, some of them with pro-found fragility, but with a clear aim for sustainable strengthening and functionalizing, with pre-conditions and opportunities for a rapid development in many areas, faces with unexpected chal-lenges both in the natural disaster and technical-technological aspects.
Awareness raising and urging of institution sand institutional mechanisms through legal regula-tions, incentives and persuasive innovations, researches and scientific works, provision and al-location of necessary financial and logistical resources, as well as undertaking of structural and non-structural measures for better management of risks.
Promotion of protocols, exchange of information and regional cooperation to facilitate the ex-change of capacities and the creation of facilities for emergency response during and after disas-ters.
Encouraging policies and programmes that address development of standards, concrete plans, human and material mobility to establish the SPRA, and their training.
Promotion of mobilization, organization, certification and structuring of the private sector, civil society, different organisations and associations for professional support in the area of search-rescue, health, etc.
Migration of population, especially expansion and over-population of cities and rapid technical-technological development, may bring new phenomena and natural and technological disasters in the future, presenting threats and disasters for Kosovo.
Exploration of more advanced methods and programmes from experienced countries with more developed systems, requires coordination, exchange of information and involvement of neces-sary mechanisms of institutions, as well as the merging of these experiences and expertises into detailed plans in order to achieve the effect for risk reduction deriving from rapid development as a result of globalisation, rapid economic development, migrations, epidemics and climate change.

25DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
CHAPTER IV:
CONSIDERED AlTERNATIvESThis Strategy is based on the best regional and international practices that address similar prob-lems in the area of DRR:
•National Disaster Risk Reduction and Civil Protection 2014-2018,the Republic of Albania;•Croatian DRR Strategy, a strategy that is based on scientific research; •Macedonian DRR Strategy;•National Platform for Natural Disasters( PLANAT);•European Strategy for Supporting Disaster Risk Reduction in developing countries (2009).
Upon taking into consideration these models, Kosovo decided to be based on the Swiss model, a strategy that is built on its specific context and in compliance with the Sendai Framework and the European Strategy. The main model is based on the inter-ministerial working group, which drafted this Strategy on a step by step basis.
26 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
CHAPTER V:
lEGAl AND INSTITUTIONAl fRAMEWORK The document reviewed and is in line with national and international plans and strategies in the area of environment: Kosovo Climate Change Strategy (2014-2024); Strategy of Kosovo Waters; Ba-sic Document of the Republic of Kosovo; SIME; Security Strategy, Millennium Development Goals and Sendai Framework for Action (2015-2030). Furthermore, this Strategy is based on European mechanisms such as: European Union Strategy on Internal Security and European Strategy for Risk Reduction Support about natural and other disasters in the developing countries.18
The DRR Strategy us mainly based on the Law No 04/-L-027 on natural and other disasters as well as the Document of the Risk Assessment of Natural and Other Disasters Document on Risk Assessment (approved in 2009 and reviewed in 2015). During the drafting of this Strategy, the inter-ministerial working group also consulted other laws that are relevant to or contains in itself dealing with or regulation of DRR area, directly or indirectly, such as: • Law on Protection of Environment No 2009/03-L-025; • Law on Assessment of Impact in the Environment No 2010/03-L-214; • Law on Protection against Fires No 2011/04-L-012; • Law on Security Council of Kosovo No.2008/03-L050; • Law on Management of Public Finances No. 2013/04-L-194; • Law on the Ministry of Kosovo Security Corpse No 2008/03-L045; • Law on Police No 2011/04-L-076; Law on Public Health No 2007/02-L-78; • Law on Emergency Health Service No. 2006/02-L-50; • Law on Red Cross of Kosovo No. 2010/03-L-179; • Law on Local Governance No 2008/03-L-040; • Law on Spatial Planning No 2012/04-L-174; • Law No 04/l-188 on Treating of illegal constructions; • Law on Construction No 04/L-110, • Law No 2003/3 Forestry of Kosovo; Law on Environment No03/L-02 and • Law on Kosovo Waters No 2004/24.
The Strategy directly contributes in managing of natural and other disasters19as part of the Gov-ernment Plan, specifically in the objective “Conducting of separate studies to prevent natural di-saster emergencies and the preparation and improvement of the way the civil capacity reacts.”
In addition, the Government drafted the Declaration of Medium-term Policies Priority 2014-2016 where priority is given to management of emergency situations.

CHAPTER VI:
MONITORING AND EvAlUATIONMonitoring and evaluation of Strategy is followed with concrete measurable and realistic indica-tors that are in compliance with the international standards.
To monitor the fulfilment of the Strategy’s targets, an Oversight Council will be established at a national level, which will be responsible for meeting the strategy’s targets of the central level insti-tutions, whose main aim is natural and other disaster risk reduction.
- The Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo/Minister of MIA is the oversight authority of the Council, which requires responsibilities and provides institution-al and administrative support.
- The Oversight Council is the only authority for DRRS oversight at central and local lev-el, which oversights the progress of investments, work and overall engagement towards achievement of the targets and measures of the strategy.
- The Ministries and central agencies, prepare periodic reports on achievement of the DRR action plan under their jurisdiction, and also address gaps and challenges of the respective scope to the Oversight Council.
The Municipal Council for DRR established by the Mayor of the municipality takes the duties and responsibilities for monitoring and implementation of the Strategy, for all activities, progress, in-vestments towards achieving of the targets and measures of the strategy, is consulted with the Inter-Ministerial Council and informs it, based on the principle of hierarchy and subordination.

This Council would ensure that the decisions deriving from this Strategy will be directly followed to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo.
- Water Council to be transformed in an Inter-ministerial Council for Waters, natural and oth-er disaster risk reduction and Climate Change.
- The Government to issue a decision on the new composition and set the duties and re-sponsibilities of the Inter-ministerial Council for Waters, natural and other disaster risk re-duction and Climate Change.

7.3. Evaluation of costs for implementation of the DRR Strategy
Evaluation for each activity and the measures taken for implementation of the Strategy is calcu-lated in the DRRS Action Plan. The financial resources to carry out the duties and activities that derive from this strategy will be from the budget of the Republic of Kosovo, the Fund of Emer-gency Budget and other incomes in compliance with the applicable laws of Kosovo, as well as the donations and joint projects. Within the cooperation with international partners, strong support is expected with grants and joint projects to support the implementation of DRR Strategy and the activities of the Action Plan.
The estimated cost of the Action Plan reaches the amount 468,500.01 Euro, which is calculated according to the second part of the document/AP of DRRS. The calculation is based in the costing model using the uniform price per unit and it is designed to comply with KASH, and also for inte-gration in the annual budget planning process. In this regard, AP should be looked as a means of the strategic budget.
All cost evaluations were done in Euro, according to the 2015 prices.

38 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION 2016 - 2020
ThE AIM Of ThE ACTION plAN fOR DRRSAction plan (AP) is a constituent part of multi-sectoral Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy in Kosovo (DRRS) 2016 - 2018.
AP is an operative strategic document which informs all responsible institutions, donors and other partners in the security sector, for the key priorities which the Republic of Kosovo institutions must meet in the scope of their field. Priorities presented in AP reflect the strategic directions and the ways through which relevant institutions and their staff will develop specific plans for implementing the DRRS.
AP is an operational document whose aim is detailing the strategic priorities, results and actions, through which DRRS will positively influence the Integration of Risk Reduction in policies and development plans, empowering and increasing of capacities for early warning, creating safe and stable communities against disasters and prevention of new risks in Kosovo.
AP also provides a solid basis for donors coordination and it is one of the main components of the Wide Sectorial Approach that enables central and local level to position themselves as heads of the changes in the environmental and planning sector, while the donor community enables the concentration support on the strategic priorities of sustainable development policies of the vital environment
This plan is also based on the principles and dedication from the Framework Sendai for Risk Reduction from Disasters 2015-2030 approved during the Third World Conference of the UN held in Sendai, Japan, on 18 March 2015.
In addition, AP is a tool for strategic management and policy development, as it provides risk governance, understanding and management of risk, orientations towards structural development that contribute to reforming the system of early warning, the development of new risks etc. and changes that exceed the limits of political mandates and human resources.
AP is a dynamic document, as the Government of the Republic of Kosovo will use it carefully as an instrument for monitoring the implementation of projects to reduce the risks from natural and technological disasters, and as a tool of information regarding the various natural phenomena. Therefore, it is foreseen that AP should be updated regularly in close cooperation and coordination with all competent bodies.
