Prespa Lake Basin Inception Report
The Prespa region, combining the two Prespa Lakes (Mikri and Macro) and their catchment
basin, is shared by Albania, Greece and the FYR of FYR of Macedonia. The international
ecological significance of the area, and especially the need for sustainable water management
for the benefit of both nature and the inhabitants, led to the establishment of the Prespa Park –
the first transboundary protected area in the Balkans – with a Joint Declaration of the Prime
Ministers of the three littoral countries, in February 2000. Following the Declaration, an interim
joint body, the Prespa Park Coordination Committee (PPCC), was established by the three
Governments, for the coordination of planning and implementing activities in the region.
