Six ecologic NGOs "Ozon", "Breznica", "Young Ecologists Society Niksic", "North Country", "Green Home" and "Durmitor Development Center" today at noon in the center of Zabljak started a tour symbolically named "Euroskop" which is supported by the Active Society Fund through the project "De facto Development", financially supported by the European Union.
"The start in Zabljak has a symbolic meaning, because 27 years ago, Montenegro, by unanimous decision of parliamentarians, was proclaimed an ecological state and is dedicated to the current topic of protected area management with a focus on the Durmitor National Park and Tara River. In the next five months, seven public events will be organized in the central city areas of Podgorica, Niksic, Pljevlja, Berane, Rozaje and Ulcinj, with the aim of better informing the citizens about Chapter 27 and everything that implies the negotiation process in this, most complex and financially demanding segment of the European integrations. Representatives of environmental NGOs will, through direct communication with citizens and interested institutions, consider all relevant information related to Chapter 27, the current report on Montenegro from 2019, published several days ago by the European Commission, the UNESCO Report on the NP "Durmitor", whose publication was announced for June 7th, local ecological plans and problems, and share educational and informative materials to make the public as interested as possible in monitoring the negotiation process and relevant projects being implemented or planned," says Aleksandar Perovic from “Green Home”.
During the realization of the campaign "Euroskop", mechanisms of public participation in the decision-making process in the field of environment and climate change will be presented, which will give a concrete contribution to the implementation of the Arhus Convention in Montenegro.
At the same time, signatures of the petition for the protection of Sinjajevina from the construction of military polygons were collected. Aleksandar Milatovic from GI "Let's Save Sinjajevina" thanked the citizens of Zabljak for their massive support.
