Balkan environmental and community initiatives

Overview

Regional activities in the Balkans continue to focus on environmental protection and community-driven humanitarian efforts.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, scientific monitoring has linked a mass fish kill in the upper Neretva River to the illegal hydropeaking operations of the Ulog hydroelectric plant. Experts suggest that sudden water level oscillations caused by improper discharge modes led to the ecological disaster. Concurrently, a conference focused on the protection of rivers and forests highlighted ongoing threats from mining and deforestation.

In Montenegro, Naša farma has denied allegations regarding wastewater polluting the Zeta River. The company maintains that its technology utilizes a system of closed lagoons to manage waste in accordance with EU standards.

Community and humanitarian events remain active across the region. In Croatia, the Red Cross hosted national first aid competitions in Osijek, while a march in Rijeka advocated for reproductive rights and access to free abortion. Other activities include a humanitarian tournament in Zelengrad and various local celebrations.
