Local residents of Botun, Mitrovići and Ljajkovići are protesting against the ban on extracting gravel from Morača.

They previously told the government representatives that they are not a construction mafia, but that they support their families from this work.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management previously announced that since the end of 2020, every stone extracted from Montenegrin rivers has been extracted illegally.

Due to this work, several people have been detained in recent days. Dozens of owners of construction machinery involved in the extraction of gravel said they had no alternative.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and the Water Administration announced that in the coming period there will be no issuance of acts that will allow anyone to work in the river bed.
