Slovenian Environment Minister Janez Podobnik signed on Friday a Slovenian-Kosovo agreement on cooperation in surveying with Kosovo's Minister for the Public Administration Arsim Bajrami. Under the deal, the two countries will exchange experience in this area and launch joint projects.
Podobnik and Bajrami also discussed the launch of a joint project to exchange best practice in surveying. Podobnik pointed out that Slovenia's mapping and surveying institute, Geodetski zavod, is a leading institution in this area in the region and is well equipped to pass on experience to Kosovo's institutions.
The Slovenian official used the opportunity to present Bajrami with the workings of Geodetski zavod, Slovenia's real estate registry, the functioning of the census of Slovenian business infrastructure and the creation of a modern national topographical database.
Podobnik stressed that the Slovenian mapping institute had in recent years also managed to set up two other important registers: the register of public utility infrastructure and the register of the real estate market.
"Most of these data on real estate and public utility infrastructure can be accessed online, allowing quick and easy access," said Podobnik. Slovenia's minister added that the keeping of accurate registers on real estate and infrastructure and a topographical database was crucial for ensuring order in a country.
