Kosovo seeks help from South Korea for new thermal plant

Economic Development Minister Valdrin Luka has launched a three-day visit to South Korea and Japan.

According to him, the visit is aimed at principally supporting the Kosova e Re thermal power project, as well as co-operation among countries in the field of water and waste management.

We visited one of the largest thermal complexes in Korea managed by this company. This complex, which consisted of 10 thermal power plants, with about 6500 OVER the installed capacities, there were advanced technologies that met all possible systemic emissions criteria, proving that even the thermal power plant that will be built in Kosovo will not be polluting for our environment”, Luka wrote.

During his visit to Korea, Luka said he was hosted by the president of the State Environment Agency, Mr. Young Yoon Yeong, the South Korean Environment Agency is an agency responsible for waste management, water quality, air quality, and waste generation.

The goal of the meeting was institutional support in Kosovo waste management, with the focus on turning waste into renewable energy, free of pollution.

The government of the Republic of Kosovo and South Korea is on the verge of creating diplomatic relations, which is of great importance to the country, considered that the Korean economy is a super world economy, with a local gross product of about $35,000 per head of the country”, Luka concluded.

We remember that the World Bank and its monitoring institutions were opposed to building a third thermal power plant in Kosovo.
