Being an environmental lawyer requires dedication. Being an environmental lawyer is a full-time job, starting from home, carried elsewhere.

If not us, who? If not now, when?”- added among others. Doc. Dr. Arianit Reka.

Water is the fundamental right of every individual, guaranteed and ensured by the constitution, the fundamental need and symbol of life, purity, clarity that unfortunately is increasingly misused by us humans, like any other resource. Therefore, we are more aware that our behaviors reflect on our lives and future generations”- said Hatixhe Bajrami.
