Conclusions from the meeting –
National Level
• Intergovernmental cooperation and putting environment
among government priorities.
• Ministries of Environment to pass results of PEIP to all
relevant ministries.
• To work closer with the Ministries of Finance.
• To involve key relevant ministries in the process of
planning.
• To present projects showing the complete solution to the
problem (even if divided into phases, sub-projects).
• To prepare solutions of high cost-effectiveness –
promotion of regional solutions.

Conclusions from the meeting –
Donors community and IFIs
• Donors/IFIs reviewing updated lists of investment
projects and giving their perspective on which of
them are financially viable.
• Clear picture of donors assistance activities
(current discussions on projects).
• Need to involve bilateral donors to the investment
projects – grant leverage effect.
• Without country assistance grant systems,
progress is much smaller.

Conclusions from the meeting –
European Commission
• Disseminate PEIP results to all relevant EC units.
• Encourage SEE countries to keep the pipelines
of environmental investment projects ready – to
be used when the assistance arrives.

Issues for the future
• Unification of cost-estimates for investment
projects,
• Bankability of projects,
• Future of the funding instruments,
• Environmental data collection – progress
achieved; small investments needed to complete
monitoring systems in the region,
• Better cooperation on cross-border issues linked
to investment projects.
