The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that they will no longer issue permits and approvals for actions and activities in protected nature facilities that do not comply with protection zones.
"Anything that can in any way expose the nature of inconvenience - manifestations accompanied by noise, light pollution and other actions that threaten the very essence of the protected area, will not receive approval from the Agency for implementation," the EPA announced on Facebook.
They remind that, according to the provisions of the Law on Nature Protection, there are several types of protected areas in Montenegro (national parks, nature parks, natural monuments and others) that should have clear protection zones within their borders (I, II and III zones). Zoning is necessary, as they pointed out, in order to clearly determine which actions and activities are possible in which zone.
"After the revision of national parks and natural objects that were protected several dozen years ago, most of the protected areas have established protection zones, while the zoning process is ongoing for a few of them," the EPA stated.
