Pristina's First Pork Inaugurated

In co-operation with the Pristina municipality, Coca-Cola HBC Kosova has inaugurated the first Eco-Paruk of Kosovo's capital, Pristina, at the city's main entrance. With pollution rates exceeding normal in Pristina, this project has been realised in efforts to reduce air pollutants and improve the quality of citizens' lives.

This Echo-Park is completely unique in the country. After the wreath ceremony, newly married people in the Pristina municipality will be encouraged to plant a tree in this area. The park has the capacity to plant 120 trees, which creates a small oasis at one of the city's most busy intersections with the capacity to absorb some 200,000kg of CO2 for the next 10 years.

High levels of air pollution in the city are issues of concern to the welfare of our community. So, leading this initiative in the country and the region, we aim to be an example not only for municipalities and other countries, but for citizens directly guarding the environment is the responsibility of all of us. Encourage citizens to take care of the park, so that they can serve the community for many more years, affecting the reduction of air pollution”, said Nerita Tyre, director of Coca-Cola HBC Kosova.

Many American companies support the activities of young people dealing with the environment. I also encourage businesses in Kosovo to support these activities, and I expect to see the fruit in the coming days”, Ambassador Delawi said.

Mayor Ahmeti also praised the realisation of this eco-parku, stressing the high importance it has for members of our community.

The “is a special and memorable act that we are planting today to symbolize the uniting of our lives and to provide enough oxygen for two people”, the newly crowned couple said as they planted their fidanus.
