Popis: Collective report of the Advanced Master “Forest, Nature & Society” Option “Nature and Society Management at an International level”. Teaching module “Environmental assessment of international projects on natural resource management” from 22nd of February to 27th of March 2016; The aim of this study was to inform the Geographical Indications (GI) building process in Western Balkans countries though two case studies similar enough to draw some general conclusions in a comparative perspective. Both Kosovo and Montenegro are engaged in the same convergence process with the European Union countries – through a process of acquis communautaire adoption and though an “Europeanization” dynamic. The two countries are at a different stage (potential candidate versus candidate country), however, Geographical Indications implementation is identified as a political priority in both countries for agriculture and rural development. To that end, governments are working to adapt the legal and institutional European frameworks to their national contexts. They are also working to identify some emblematic pilot’s products that could be registered as GI in a near future. Sharri Cheese in Kosovo and Pljevlja Cheese in Montenegro are two traditional livestock products, already benefiting from a local and national (and even regional) reputation based on their origin and quality, and therefore susceptible to be registered as GI. Moreover, these two pastoral products are representative of the current challenges and opportunities faced by rural mountainous territories all over Europe: rural exodus, decreasing territorial attractiveness, mutation of traditional economic activities, and erosion of natural and cultural heritage.
