This report describes the results from a two-week Heritage Lab workshop on rural development held in Letnicë/Letnica in 2019, and outlines the process of creating a rural development plan from its early stage. Based on international experience and local knowledge, it offers an insight in the multifaceted aspects of rural development through the valorisation of cultural and natural heritage. The report also presents the key challenges that Letnicë/Letnica and the small Kosovo Croat community are facing, as well as the positive features and potential this multi-ethnic village has to contribute to its sustainable change. Based on the analysis of the local resources, the report offers broad recommendations for development which represent the four pillars of sustainable development: social, economic, environmental, and cultural. These recommendations should stimulate the elaboration of both a full rural development plan and an action plan to guide its implementation for Letnicë/Letnica and the communities that live there.
