The
National Council of Restoration under the Albanian Ministry of Culture through
a decision on 25 May 2016 approved the proposal for delineation of the boundary
of the potential extension of the transboundary World Heritage property and its
buffer zone, in the framework of the project "Towards strengthened
governance of the shared transboundary natural and cultural heritage of the
Lake Ohrid region." The National Council of Restoration decided to:
Approve the proposal of the boundary of the potential transboundary World
Heritage property in the framework of the Lake Ohrid project, based on the
results of the joint field mission: ICOMOS, IUCN, ICM, NAPA, RAPA, Municipality
of Pogradec and Institute of Archaeology; Approve the option of the boundary
that includes: the waterline of the Lake Ohrid, cultural features of the
landscape of the Lin Peninsula and Lin Village, areas critical to the scenic
integrity of the Lake Ohrid (Drilon, coastal landscapes to the North of Lin),
pile dwelling areas. This is a great news for the work to be done in
preparation of a potential nomination file to extend the World Heritage
property "Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid region" to the
Albanian side.

Questionnaire on Lake Ohrid
What comes to one’s mind when Lake Ohrid is mention? Koran fish, lakeside, boats, swimming, nature? Maybe all of that!
A trial questionnaire was implemented in the Albanian part of Lake Ohrid Region (LOR) in the framework of the project, in order to gain an understanding of people’s views on the region. The questionnaire, designed by ICCROM, an advisory body to UNESCO, gathered a preliminary set of data through interviewing people living and working in, or visiting, the area.

The questionnaire began by asking questions on the values and attributes of LOR today, gaining an understanding of the public’s current relationship and connections with their heritage, and, indirectly, the level of satisfaction with the current situation. Later sections, on tourism and visitor experience, aimed to gain insight into the impact of tourism on the intangible values and traditional lifestyles in LOR.

The data gathered were processed by the ICCROM team and preliminary findings were shared at the May Promoting Heritage workshop, which equipped participants with genuine knowledge of the communities living in or visiting the area and their views about LOR. The results of this modest campaign demonstrate the importance of more substantial public consultation in the future and for extension to the Macedonian side of the lake, to inform decision making for managing LOR’s heritage and promoting it as a tourism destination.
