In the frame of the GEF Adriatic Project, and in collaboration with the Albanian Ministry of Tourism and Environment, a meeting between the Albanian national experts, PAP/RAC and SPA/RAC was organized in Tirana on 5 November. The main objective of the meeting was to define how the integrated version of the monitoring and assessment programme for Albania will be developed, as a synthesis of all thematic programmes. This joint discussion assisted the integration and interconnection between all the Ecological Objectives and their respective common indicators. Further discussions are planned, in order to finalize the joint monitoring programme.
