On Friday, October 4, an important meeting was held in Prizren to present the Regional High Nature Value (HNV) Project. The project aims to support sustainable development and promote high-value natural products in Kosovo and the region. The event brought together key stakeholders, including:
-
H.E. Olivier Guérot, Ambassador of France to Kosovo,
-
Ms. Rozeta Hajdari, Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship, and Trade,
-
Mr. Veli Hoti, Advocate of the Sharr Cheese Association from LexTrust LLC,
-
Renowned international and local experts.
The HNV Project is supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Embassy in Kosovo (Ambassade de France au Kosovo – French Embassy in Kosovo). It focuses on promoting Geographical Indications (GIs) in Kosovo – a powerful tool for recognizing and protecting local products with specific origins. GIs provide these products with a unique identity in international markets, ensuring their authenticity and increasing economic opportunities for local producers.

Speaking on the morning show “SOT” on Kohavision, Ms. Krasniči provided further insights into the project and highlighted its positive impact on empowering the local economy through the protection and promotion of intellectual property rights.
