The region of Western Balkans features diverse ecosystems, ethnic groups, religions, cultures, economies and social fabric. It spans over four of Europe‘s bio‐
geographical areas: Mediterranean, Central European, Alpine and Pannonic. The region has been characterized by wars, ethnic conflicts and overall
instability. Environmental pollution in the Balkans has many features that include industrial and urban infrastructure waste as well as military remnants such
as mines and unexploded ordinances. Competition over natural resources has also led to violence and instability. The environmental sector has a great
potential to enhance regional cohesion and the establishment of efficient regional cooperation. Indeed, environmental insecurity has been a catalytic issue
where regional cooperation has been nurtured through awareness raising, civil society engagement as well as international support.
Apart from ethnic conflicts and wars, several other factors have contributed to environmental degradation in the region such as weak or recovering
economies with limited budgets, widespread poverty, political instability and state‐building processes. Some of the key environmental challenges in the
region include threats to biodiversity; climate change mitigation and adaptation; degradation of water resources; high levels of air pollution; contamination of
soil and water and weak law enforcement for waste and recycling.
The western coast of the region faces a series of pressures, including marine transport of petroleum and natural gas, natural gas extraction and overfishing.
Coastal zones also face important pressures, including wastewater and solid waste from urban and tourist areas, eutrophication of coastal waters and sprawl
in many coastal areas.
The EU integration process is currently the main political driver of change in the region. While, the EU enlargement process provides opportunities for
improving the environment in the region, it also underlines certain challenges for the candidate (Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia) and potential
candidate countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo). The ‘Copenhagen criteria’ poses a great challenge to candidate countries, as national legislation
has to be implemented and enforced in order to meet EU’s environmental protection requirements.
