– Creation of a municipal regulation, which obliges citizens to register their dogs.
– Castration /Sterilization of dogs with owners (200 of them), from Kosovo Small Animal Welfare, which will be done through an awareness campaign, in cooperation with the Municipality of Prizren.
– Construction of a temporary care center from the Municipality of Prizren; which is legally foreseen in the Administrative Instruction 05/2017 – determining the technical conditions for the construction of the temporary treatment center for stray dogs.

All of these are expected to be concertized through activities agreed by the working group, which will draft the regulation mentioned, and will determine the duration of the activities and projects listed above.
