This report has dual addresses, both Swedish and Albanian authorities. As will be seen in the following text Albania is now undergoing profound changes in ownership conditions of its forest resources and their management. The Swedish authorities are addressed for a plea of new or continued support to Albanian forestry. The Albanian authorities are addressed with suggestions of areas of collaboration, which might be of value in the development and implementation of measures under way as a result of the ongoing Nature Resource Development Project – NRDP. The suggested areas of collaboration will be of importance for Albania, both in the immediate future as well as in a long-term perspective.
