The Brskovo mine would endanger three generation, 12 May 2023

The participants of the public presentation strongly criticised the two scenarios for the development of the area, which include the exploitation ore, and expressed numerous objections to the procedures and the way in which the impact assessment was done.

The public presentation of the draft of the Detailed Spatial Plan (DPP) for the area of the concession area for the exploitation of mineral raw materials - Brskovo was marked by numerous remarks, criticism and doubts from the people of Mojkovac about the consequences of the possible opening of the mine.

The Vice-President of the Municipality, lvan Ašanin, said that the curent local government had no chance to take different actions. He had numerous objections to the procedures and said that the documentation does not answer questions related to the amount of dust, how it will affect the snow or Bjelasica, how transport will be organized during the construction and operation of the mine, and how the mine project corresponds with plans regarding the opening of ski resorts and winter tourism.

According to him, the assessment of the impact on the enviironment should have been done before everything else, and a public discussion should have been held about it. He said that, if a decision is made to open the mine, the local government will try to protect Mojkovac from all harmful consequences.

Gordana Đukanović, MSc in chemical technology and inorganic technology engineer...said that the question of opening a mine in Mojkovac is "a question of health, life and death for three generations"...
