Yesterday, after the Breznica NGO pointed out to the public the suspicion that the Pljevlja TPP had released chemicals, ash and slag into the Vezišnica river and that all of it had gone downstream to the Ćehotina, Facebook users also published photos on that social network that show a large fish kill in the two rivers. .

SRK Lipjen announced yesterday that there was a fish kill in Vezišnica and Ćehotina and that "the culprit is very obvious".

"Because it was determined where the "white" water comes from, from the pipes of the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant. The accident was reported to the competent inspection, water samples were taken and the dead fish were taken. The Thermal Power Plant and the Electric Power Company of Montenegro claim that diversion was carried out against them and that they will file a criminal complaint against NN persons. SRK Lipjen has taken all necessary measures, Minister Simović and all relevant entities from the Freshwater Fisheries Sector, as well as the management of Elektroprivreda, have been informed," said the president of SRK Lipjen from Pljevlje, Vaso Knežević, yesterday.
