Albania is roughly the size of Maryland and Sweden is slightly bigger than California. So one protected river in Albania would be very good news.

Yes, nice goal but the claim is exaggerated. In neighboring Serbia there is the Tara National Park [0], and nearby to this, but in Bosnia & Herzegovina, there is the famous Sutjeska National Park [1], which is one of the two last remaining primeval forests in Europe. That said, significant threats are still posed by potential exploitation of areas and rivers surrounding protected zones [2].

  Tara the river is in Montenegro, not to be confused with Tara the mountain which is in Serbia.

    Thank you for that. I actually did confuse the two! The Tara river [0] and the Tara Canyon [1] are absolutely amazing! To add to the confusion all the mentioned national parks are very close to eachother [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_(river) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_(river) [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_River_Canyon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_River_Canyon

None of those rivers are national parks though (although some I believe might run through a national parks). National parks have even stricter requirements and restrictions.
