In principle, Local Action Groups - LAGs, according to Leader, belong to a large family of public-private partnerships, which have become the instruments necessary to cope with the increasing number of public duties from road infrastructure to science and education. Hence, LAGs are instruments for local government or local development bodies.

Moreover, the LAG is a communication space where people discover and share experiences that are in the interests of common areas. The Local Action Group (LAG) "Agroturizmi" was established in 2009, after a two-year period of capacity building and direct support from the project "Local Development Strategies" (LDS), an EU-funded project managed by the European Commission Liaison Office (ECLO) in Kosovo. During this period, the LAG "Agroturizmi" has drafted a Local Development Strategy for the Municipality of Peja, a strategy approved by the municipal assembly. This strategy is in line with the MAFRD policies and the Rural and Agricultural Development Plan 2007-2013 and is based on the key features of the LEADER approach such as:

1. Local development strategies “based on the local area”

2. Public-private partnerships "called LAGs" and

3. "bottom-up" approach with decision-making competencies for LAGs that take into account the elaboration and implementation of Local Development Strategies.

Local Action Group



Local Action Groups (LAGs) consist of experienced, energetic and committed people from all socio-economic sectors of the community. The members of the LAG should reflect the necessary technical and business knowledge for central action as well as ensure political ties with the municipal levels.

Therefore, members of the LAG represent important interest groups such as women in rural areas, youth, various associations, businesses etc. In short, they need to identify with the concerns of rural areas where they live and act and must commit themselves to sustainable development in those areas. The LAG "Agrotourism" has 27 members coming from different public and private sectors. All of its members are active, giving their contributions based on their profession to support rural and economic development in the municipality of Peja.

MEMBERS OF LAG



VISION: We see Peja with developed infrastructure, intensive agriculture, clean environment and well-managed natural resources; developed and attractive tourism with a sustainable economy. Peja is a city in the west of Kosovo and is an administrative center in the Dukagjini region, which borders with Istog, Klinë and Deçan with municipal boundaries, while Montenegro with state borders. It is known as a unique city in Kosovo with the largest green area where 603 km2 of the Peja area, 52% includes forests and pastures, 38% are fertile, while only the city has about 10% of this territory. Therefore, based on these potential, the two main pillars identified in the "Municipal Development Plan 2006-2025" for the development of the Peja municipality are agriculture and tourism. Peja as a municipality is very unique in Kosovo for its many natural beauties such as Rugova Gorge, Drini i Bardhë and Lumbardhi rivers, waterfalls, caves, lakes and other mountain and field terrains which provide very good conditions for the development of rural tourism, adventure and outdoor recreation. Therefore, all these unique features found in Peja offer opportunities for all visitors and nature lovers to spend time in this country experiencing these beauties.
