Work Action - Removing Pipes From Rakitska River

Building SHPP "Zvonce" in Rakita has been in the focus of public attention for a while, and especially since the republic inspector of environment protection Milan Štetić has ordered Goran Belić, investor of the SHPP "Zvonce" to remove the 300m of a pipeline placed into the flood plain area and return the area to the original state. However, although the resolution has been issued last year in January, pipes are still on the same position >>>. In accordance with the previously stated, the Local Community of Rakita has decided to send the notification to Municipality Babušnica, Ministry of the Environmental Protection, Ministry of Construction, Traffic and Infrastructure, that they decided to remove the pipes with their own money and that they will redeem this money from the investor in Court.  Pipes removal from Rakitska river bed will be conducted on 15 August 2020 starting at 10 AM through a joint work action of the locals and volunteers.
