2022 BALKANS JOINT CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
SHUKOS and SHUKALB are pleased to invite you to join us at our 10th Balkans Joint Conference and Exhibition which will be held on 8 – 10 November, 2022 with a physical presence at the Emerald Hotel, in Pristina, Kosovo. The Conference Theme, Groundwater – Making the Invisible Visible, is inspired by World Water Day 2022, and brings attention to the importance of protecting the quality and quantity of our underground resources. The topic is very valuable especially for our countries, which provide most of their drinking water supply from underground sources.
The Conference Program allows for a broad range of topic areas covering from policy to technical, as well as management issues of the water sector. The conference provides a platform for discussion, where all participants can share their knowledge and experience in dealing with water sector issues.
