Albanian government plans to transfer significant water from the river for coastal mass tourism, funded by German KfW Bankengruppe and the EU's WBIF- Western Balkan Investment Framework, and constructed by the Austrian STRABAG. This mass tourism initiative jeopardizes the Vjosa Wild River National Park's integrity and reopens the opportunity to exploit this wilderness area.

The public consultation process was seriously deficient: the locals learned about the project when the caterpillars arrived.
