Euromost claims to have discovered an illegal quarry in Bistrica near Bijelo Polje

The non-governmental organization "Euromost" announced that while monitoring the Bistrica River watercourse in the town of Mojstir next to the Bistrica River, it discovered an illegal quarry that had been in use for several months.

They attached a video showing machines working at the quarry.

In addition to the inspection authorities, this organization notified the Bijelo Polje Police Department and the competent prosecutor's office, whose officers went to the scene and conducted an investigation.

"Euromost" has requested that certain officials from the Secretariat for Inspection Affairs of the Municipality of Bijelo Polje be questioned, because they were noticed visiting the town of Bistrica, and as they state, it is not clear how they did not notice an illegal quarry in the town of Bistrica, which also endangers the road leading to Mojstir, which is located next to the Bistrica River.

"According to information received by this organization, the quarry has been used for months, and someone has illegally approved it, which was the reason why they visited it several times, in order to determine and obtain evidence that it is being used illegally. As it announced, the NGO 'Euromost' continues to fight against eco-crime and will continue to protect the Bistrica River and this area, next to which illegal facilities are still being built en masse, in front of the competent inspections, for which we will soon present new evidence of illegal construction, which is why they expect, as they say, local and state institutions that have been informed about the illegal quarry to take all measures in accordance with their jurisdiction and find all participants who committed criminal acts through this illegal quarry and imprison them," Euromost said in a statement.
