Lake Ohrid Scoping Mission Report, 2-6 April 2012
The mission was organised by the World Heritage Centre in cooperation with Albania as a first step in the implementation of the pilot project “Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid Region” proposed by the State Party in the framework of the Upstream Process in support of World Heritage nominations, established on an experimental basis following Decisions of the World Heritage Committee (see particularly 34 COM 12 and 35 COM 12). The aims of the upstream process are to provide transparent and systematic support in the nomination process in the very early stages of their preparation as well as to test more cooperative working methods among the State Parties, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies with the broad aim of improving protection and management of Word Heritage properties.
