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. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-07: Mondal industrija cement factory faces pollution disputes in Montenegro Montenegrin officials defend the Mondal industrija cement factory against pollution claims, while local residents allege improper monitoring and illegal construction within the Rijeka Zeta Nature Park zone. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mondal-industrija-cement-factory-faces-pollution-disputes-in-montenegro ### 2026-09-21: Local communities protest wind farm and quarry projects Local communities in Montenegro and Croatia are petitioning against new industrial developments, including a wind farm and a quarry, citing threats to biodiversity, agriculture, and tourism. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/local-communities-protest-wind-farm-and-quarry-projects --- Cite as: Industrial project opposition in Montenegro and Croatia.
