The non-governmental organization Sveti Stefan warned that the water supply situation in that part of the municipality is alarming and called on the authorities to respond urgently, otherwise citizens are ready to protest.

"Citizens of the settlements of Sveti Stefan, Blizikuće, Crvena Glavica and Šumet have been facing serious water supply problems for more than a year. The situation escalated due to negligent construction work by a private investor, which caused landslides and damaged key water supply infrastructure."

They state that, although the institutions were informed about this problem, there was no reaction.

They claim that citizens regularly pay their obligations, but in return they suffer a compromised quality of life and the inability to perform daily activities.

"Tourism capacities have been particularly affected, which directly threatens the economy and reputation of our region," the NGO states.

Their demands are urgent repair of the water supply network and stabilization of the land within 24 hours, determination of the responsibility of investors and competent services for the failures, as well as adoption of long-term solutions to prevent the recurrence of such situations.

"We will not allow the problem to be ignored any longer! If the competent authorities do not react, citizens will organize protests and public gatherings, initiate legal proceedings to protect their rights and seek compensation for damages, and turn to state and international institutions for additional support. This is not just an infrastructure problem, but a serious violation of citizens' fundamental rights! We call on all authorities to react immediately, and fellow citizens and the general public to provide support in this fight. No one deserves to live without basic living conditions!", the proclamation concludes.
