I don't think there's anybody in Kosovo who doesn't mind the lack of greenery in our cities, just as I don't think there's any way in Kosovo, which doesn't need to get greened, there's no country or mountain that's not destroyed by human hands. At the end of that, we want to change our country's image and image,” he said.

““Cleaning Kosovo” has been proven as an organisation that has made extraordinary efforts for a cleaner environment in Kosovo, and since even Olympic Committee objectives are that all different races, different activities are organised in a clean environment, it has not been hard to join around implementing standards for a cleaner environment in Kosovo. We are united to create new synergy and I am convinced that every citizen will join us. We need co-operation with other institutions as well and from the beginning we have support from government and non-government organisations, as there is a need for comprehensive co-operation so that 1.8 million trees are planted over a decade as we have assigned it to the operational plan”, Hasani said.
