    abstract = {Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is one of the key instruments for integrating
environmental issues, principles of sustainable development, proposed programs and decision-making during
drafting of the Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The purpose of this research is to analyze and observe in
details, the Strategic Environmental Assessment Report (SEA) for the Municipal Development Plan of the
Municipality of Ferizaj. The elements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Report (SEA) are reviewed
and analyzed in this study starting from: the national and EU legal basis for drafting this document, the analysis
of the existing situation of environmental factors in Ferizaj Municipality (geographic position, population,
drinking water supply, contaminated water treatment, etc.), the analysis of the development concept of the
Municipality of Ferizaj and the priorities of the scenarios given for the municipal development plan, the goals
and objectives of the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and their harmonization with national legal
frameworks, the testing of the goals of municipal development plan. The Strategic Environmental Assessment
(SEA) objectives are: water supply, sewage management, traffic and integrated waste management and the
necessary SEA measures for the Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The environmental solutions proposed
by MDP are accurate and conform to the current solutions for environmental problems in EU countries.
Scenarios 3 and 4 proposed by Municipal Development Plan (MDP) for environmental development of the
Ferizaj Municipality are accurate and realistic. The research concludes that the main challenge is the practical
implementation of the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) targets such as: the conservation of biodiversity
and natural habitats, the implementation of district heating and wastewater treatment in the Municipality of
Ferizaj, the definition of ecological corridors during the realization of planned projects, the designing of
rehabilitation projects for depleted uranium irradiation areas. Therefore, the implementation of the MDP and the
implementation of SEA recommendations are a challenge for the management of the Ferizaj Municipality.}
