Industrial project opposition in Montenegro and Croatia

Overview

Local communities in Montenegro and Croatia are organizing protests and petitions against various industrial projects due to environmental and economic concerns.

In Montenegro, opposition has emerged against the proposed Njegovuđa wind farm near Žabljak, which residents fear will destroy habitats for protected species and harm rural tourism. Additionally, the Mondal industrija cement factory near Spuž is facing disputes. While the Ministry of Ecology maintains the facility operates within legal limits and holds valid permits, approximately 140 local residents allege inadequate oversight, incorrect air quality monitoring, and lack of soil monitoring near the Rijeka Zeta Nature Park.

In Croatia, residents in villages such as Lađevica and Krković are petitioning against the opening of the Velika Kremenica quarry. Concerns include air quality, dust, noise, and potential damage to groundwater, local roads, and agricultural assets like olive groves and vineyards.
