´´Social protection of the most vulnerable population groups. The most socially vulnerable population groups include those whose living conditions and welfare standards have deteriorated abruptly, as in the case of IDPs and refugees; those who face grave social risks for physical or socio-demographic reasons; and those who are in need of state care including children deprived of parental care, disabled persons, children with health limitations, elderly citizens living alone, etc. ´´;
´´ The main challenge is ensure that the IDP and refugee population does not suffer from deprivation to a greater or lesser extent than the rest of the population, and to ensure that they have equal rights and opportunities to participate in the social and economic life of the country while also developing a strategy which will allow them to return to their original places of residence once a solution to the conflict has been found.´´
´´Most of the environmental problems facing the country are the result of previous industrial and agricultural development, which was carried out without consideration for sustainability. Rapid occupations and mass displacements have further aggravated environmental problems, due to pressure on arable land, water, and waste management systems.´´
