The measures launched by the European Union against the Government of Kosovo* have begun to directly affect the lives and well-being of citizens, the Albanian Post reported. The sanctions were imposed as the authorities refused to deescalate the tensions with the Serb community in the north.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor of Hani i Elezit Mehmet Ballazhi said the EU suspended a wastewater treatment project, which was supposed to tackle pollution including asbestos. The town and municipality on the border with North Macedonia is also known as Elez Han and \u0110eneral Jankovi\u0107. The facility would process wastewater that goes into the Lepenc or Lepenac river.<\/p>\n<p>The news outlet added, quoting Ambassador of Germany J\u00f6rn Rohde, that France and Germany also halted several renewable energy projects. In particular, according to local media reports from a month ago, Germany suspended grants and loans for Solar4Kosovo \u2013 a 70 MW solar thermal system and a 100 MW solar power plant planned in Obiliq. The two facilities were supposed to help the decarbonization of the energy sector. On the other hand, Kosovo* recently launched a public call for funds for energy efficiency measures in households. The EUR 10 million budget for subsidies of 45% for home renovation was obtained through the European Union\u2019s Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA). Furthermore, EU representatives attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>(* This designation is without prejudice to positions on status and is in line with UNSCR 1244\/99 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.)<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/balkangreenenergynews.com\/eu-blocks-wastewater-treatment-project-in-kosovo-due-to-sanctions\/\">Balkan Green Energy News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-380\/\">EU blocks wastewater treatment project in Kosovo* due to sanctions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4624,686,2885],"class_list":["post-116122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-kosovo","tag-sanction","tag-wastewater"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116122\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
