Nebih Morina
A Vision That Lives On at Hidroing-DK
Nebih Morina was much more than an owner and director of Hidroing-DK. He was one of the people who gave the company its vision, its professional standards, and, perhaps most importantly, its human spirit — values that continue to define Hidroing-DK today. At the age of 19, forced to leave Kosovo under the pressure of the Serbian regime, Nebih moved to Munich, Germany, where he continued his education and developed both personally and professionally. After almost ten years abroad, he made the decision to return to Kosovo, driven by a strong desire to contribute to his country. He joined the management team of Hidroing-DK and became one of the key people behind the company’s development and growth. Nebih was a visionary leader. He believed deeply in professionalism, responsibility and high standards, not only for Hidroing-DK but also for the wider development of Kosovo’s water supply and wastewater sector, infrastructure, architecture and urban planning. Under his leadership and influence, Hidroing-DK grew into a company recognised for its quality, integrity and professional responsibility. Yet what made Nebih truly exceptional was the way he treated people. He never saw colleagues simply as employees. He cared about their future, encouraged their education and professional development, and believed that a company could only grow when its people grew with it. He created an environment in which professional respect and genuine human connection went hand in hand. The trips he organised for the team, shared lunches and dinners, birthdays celebrated in the office, and countless moments of laughter became part of Hidroing-DK’s culture. The photographs from those years capture something that words cannot fully express: the warmth, friendship and sense of belonging he created around him. Humour, optimism and humanity were at the heart of who Nebih was. He had a remarkable ability to bring people together, to make them laugh, to encourage them and to make even ordinary moments memorable. That same generosity defined him within his family and his community. He was someone people could rely on — always ready to support, help and stand beside those around him. On 10 October 2011, Nebih’s passing left an immeasurable emptiness in his family and in Hidroing-DK. But what he built did not disappear with him. The people he believed in, the professional standards he established and the values he passed on became the foundation on which Hidroing-DK continued to grow. Today, the company continues to strengthen its reputation and work to standards comparable with leading European consulting companies. In many ways, this is part of Nebih’s legacy: a company built not only on technical knowledge, but on responsibility, trust, courage and respect for people. Nebih Morina’s legacy lives on in the way Hidroing-DK works today — in our professionalism, in our commitment to quality, in the way we treat one another and in our determination to keep moving forward. His advice, his vision, his laughter and his belief in people remain with us. He is part of our history, part of who we are, and part of every step Hidroing-DK takes into the future.
