The financing will be channeled into three directions: promotion of an integrated approach towards environmental protection, reduction of pollution in one of Europe’s last wild rivers, the Vjosa River, and management, monitoring and assessment of the initiatives, the finance ministry said in a press release on Sunday.

In December, the World Bank said it had approved the $80 million loan under its Clean and Resilient Environment for Blue Sea Project.

Disbursement is set to begin in 2024, while the project is set to conclude in March 29, 2030.
