Beća: Thanks to everyone for helping Riverside

The President of the Association for the Support of Roma and Egyptians of Berane, Sultan Beća, thanked the numerous donors who, in recent days, came to the aid of the most vulnerable social group in the Riverside neighborhood of Berane.

"I would like to thank, first of all, the Committee of the Berane Islamic Community, which provided flour and through the private bakery "Mladost" delivered a hundred kilograms of bread to Roma and Egyptians every day. This action, thanks to the donation of the owner of the "Burko" butcher shop, will continue even after April 15," said Beća.

According to him, some non-governmental organizations and associations from Montenegro and the region came to the aid of this population in Berane. "Thus, the organization "Epeko" from Slovenia provided packages with food and hygiene products to all elementary school students from our neighborhood," said Beća.

He added that the organization Mladi Romi from Podgorica helped with the construction works around the Riverside settlement, i.e. the filling of gravel and landscaping of the surrounding area.

"We in the settlement now follow the instructions and orders of the NKT, like all other citizens. In our country, the situation is more difficult due to the large population and number of inhabitants, but we try to comply with the orders. That's why we welcome this help," said Beća.

At the very beginning of the declaration of the epidemic, the municipal team for emergency situations marked these settlements as the most endangered, and the Municipality of Berane, through the Red Cross, as directly as possible, decided to provide significant aid in food and hygiene products for RAE pollution in these settlements.

Tsarević: The ban on recreational fishing is illogical

Regarding the ban on all sport-recreational fishing, which includes fishing from a boat, fishing from the shore and underwater fishing, which caused dissatisfaction among the citizens of the coastal municipalities, the president of the Municipality of Budva, Marko Carević, sent a letter to the NKT in which he opposes such measures, stating that he considers them illogical, too restrictive and rigorous.

"Such a measure is redundant for the reason that the nature of sport-recreational fishing implies an activity that mostly takes place individually or in pairs, so that there can be no violation of social distance. Sports-recreational fishing is an activity that does not involve the presence of a large number of people in a closed space, but the presence of a maximum of two people in an open space, where the possibility of transmission of the new corona virus is impossible or at least possible in comparison to all other situations," says Carević.

URA and the Bokeški Forum from Tivat requested the lifting of the ban.
