Gazdić: Durmitor on the Red List, Kotor loses status

The Next UNESCO Summit will be difficult for Montenegro, our knowledge will be put on the red list, and the information appears and that the Kotor will lose its name of a significant cultural and historical area and that is the defeat of our country, He told the director of the Environmental Protection Agency Milan Gazdić. This said at the conference "Nature and Environmental Protection, the situation, significance and perspectives".

He said Montenegro must not allow the UNESCO to give up Durmitor, and that the current situation is alarming.

The next UNESCO Summit will be quite heavy for Montenegro, I hope that this will not happen but are some knowledge that the NP Durmitor will be placed on the red list, even the information that Kotor will be expelled, It will lose that call which is the defeat of the state in my opinion. Instead of UNESCO adding the areas of our country we came to a very difficult position, we should fight and save the titles we have - Gazdić said.

He also says that it is defeated that the army and police are defending us nature.

She is defending themselves from ourselves. Rivers and lakes are full of garbage, the exploitation of gravel is huge. However, we have done something good: we have protected sea areas, the audits of protected areas have been made ... We cleaned some of the most dangerous ecological black spots, and eco volunteers have managed to deal with illegal gravel exploitation. We entered the war against the forest mafia, but it is only necessary for the profession to be in the function of nature protection, not capital and investor - the Gazdić pointed out.

He said that the next four days, they organize a scientific conference in blue and gusinos, because that part of our country unfairly neglected.

At that gathering, Gazdić will be the words about the biggest problems with which the state coincides in terms of preservation of the environment.

Gazdić pointed out that so far only worked on "extinguishing the ecological idea" which was our development chance.

Instead of following the healthy idea we repeated someone else's mistakes. Our branch is most important, and that tourism is endangered because of the nature that is devastated - Gazdić said.

The conference was organized on the occasion of the Jubilee 15 years since the establishment and operation of the EPA and 32 years from the proclamation of Montenegro by the ecological state.

Gazdić said that the session of the Council for the Fight ProTV Cropuccut was held last week and that they were talking about the fight against the forest mafia.

Our experts are on the field every day and must step on each rate of our territory and are amazing examples of forest destruction. It is so on the entire territory of Montenegro and the situation is terrible and it was motivated by us to initiate this story. We will persevere, as we are for illegal exploitation of gravel and it is a story that has launched instability and crisis - said Gazdić.

He said the police work very well in the field, and that they were engaged to find out who cuts forests.

We have confiscation of equipment and trucks on the ground, but the damage is difficult to assess - states Gazdić.
