The civic initiative "Save Sinjajevina" will organize a gathering in Savine vode on July 12th protesting against the intention of the Ministry of Defense to establish a military polygon in the area of this mountain.
"The new protest on July 12th will be in a place that would be directly endangered and devastated in the event a military polygon is established. We are informing the citizens that in addition to the official part of the protest on the 12th of July, they will be able to enjoy the beautiful nature. We will organize a walk to the Jablan peak, while the interested cyclists will be able to enjoy the ride to the beautiful and intact areas of the mountain which the Agency for Nature and Environmental Protection has estimated should get the status of a nature park. Sava lake can be reached by bike on several sides, and we will recommend the track from the village of Lipovo, through the village Potrk to the lake. The trail is demanding for cycling, but it is not too difficult for hiking," said the Civic Initiative.
The GI announces that signage for the petition will be organized at the protest demanding the proclamation of Sinjajevina as a protected area and the abandonment of the intention to establish a military polygon in the territory of that mountain.
"With the petition we demand: to proclaim Sinjajevina as a protected area, that Sinjajevina should continue to be used by cattlemen, the affirmation of Sinjajevina as a tourist destination, supporting the development of Sinjajevina as an agricultural property, branding agricultural products from Sinjajevina, protecting cultural heritage, tradition and archaeological sites on Sinjajevina and informing citizens on the right to a healthy environment," the Civic Initiative stated.
