Kosovo's forests and the wood industry!

The meeting with the Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Culture and the advisor of the Minister to create the emergency group and the involvement of the interested parties for a faster reaction in this situation!
1. This year, the sector has found itself in a situation where wood bodies are missing due to non-tendering for utilization and cutting of forests!
2. The National Parks are managed by the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning and every action is prohibited here, including the cutting of forests according to the plan!
How will the wood processing industry of Kosovo be supplied with raw material! What will the unlicensed sawmills do now? What is expected from this situation? We await the solution after the appointment of the urgent meeting as soon as possible with the parties of interest and the planning of the forest spaces for cutting and management!
SHPDK takes care of and supports the good morning of the forests, it is against illegal logging! SHPDK does not support initiatives that stop deforestation!
Kosovo's forests grow well when cuttings are planned according to age and other natural factors. The solution is not to stop cutting!
