Prime Minister Sali Berisha convened a meeting of the working group on protection of the coastal area and taking the proper measures. The relevant study to be conducted will cover the coastal area from Velipoja to Narta. It targets to bring to evidence the situation of the coastal line (especially the beaches). The study will be concrete, complex; it will be of utility and will make recommendations for decision-making. 

In regard to concerns and the growing threat of the soil erosion which has a direct negative impact on the economic and tourist activities, the infrastructure, environment and cultural and natural values, PM Berisha in a meeting with several members of the Cabinet, scientists of the relevant field from the Polytechnic University and the Academy of Sciences held a discussion and forwarded the task of undertaking an immediate study, concrete and in several aspects.

The main issues the study must focus will be:

- Bringing to evidence the actual situation of the coastal line and the changes it has experienced during the recent decades. The expected dynamics of coastal line movement focusing especially on the sensitive areas, i.e. the beaches will also be on the focus.

- To provide recommendations for the measures and the eventual interventions that can be taken while determining where and when (according to priority), to curb the action of soil erosion.

-The financial cost of interventions in time and space (according to priority), in certain segments of the beaches as well as the total cost for an extensive and complete intervention.

On the study of the sea erosion and the measures that should be taken against it, the Prime Minister ordered the setting up of a study group composed by ministers, scientists from the Polytechnic University, Academy of Sciences and the Prime Minister’s office.

In respect of this order, the government departments, scientific institutions and all the other state institutions will make it available for the study group the most qualified experts of the field as well as the data and the necessary studies which can serve to completion of the study in time and at high quality.
