The Mostina landfill has been an ecological black spot for decades, not only in Rožaj, but also in the whole of Montenegro. Unfortunately, the residents of the villages of Besnika, Baća, Malindbrava and Radetina, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the landfill, know best that this is so, and who inhale toxic substances coming from the landfill almost every day, especially when it is on fire. , which was also the case in the previous days, announced the president of the Rozaj board of the Civic Movement URA, Husein Ljaić.
He said that it is time for the competent authorities, both local and state, to find a sustainable solution for waste disposal after several decades of neglect, close the Mostina landfill, and then begin its rehabilitation.
Ljaić pointed out that the Mostina landfill also damages the image of Montenegro as a tourist and ecological country, because the first thing that tourists who visit the country through the Dračenovac border crossing encounter is the Mostina landfill.
He noted that "a good part of the waste from the landfill itself ends up in the bed of the Ibar river, thereby disrupting its ecosystem."
"The biggest blame for this state of affairs lies with the Municipal Corporation and the local government, which for decades ignored the numerous appeals and cries of citizens and environmental activists to solve the problem of the Mostina landfill. However, we are happy that now a part of the Bosniak Party has realized its own mistake and that now supports the initiative to close the landfill," Ljaić said.
Ljaić appealed to the municipal and state authorities to "finally take seriously the alarming nature of this problem and start solving it urgently".
