Ambassador of the European Union Delegation to Podgorica Johan Sattler will meet with representatives of Botun on Monday morning.
This was unofficially confirmed to "Vijesti" by the EU Delegation.
The EU Delegation previously stated that "claims that the wastewater treatment plant in Botun poses a threat to public health or is based on outdated technology are completely unfounded."
"The project envisages a modern and safe facility, fully compliant with EU standards. Thousands of such facilities are operating successfully across the European Union and beyond, improving environmental protection and safeguarding community health. EU taxpayers have provided €33 million in grants for this project, helping Montenegro meet its obligations under Chapter 27 of the EU-Mediterranean Treaty, while protecting the health of citizens and the environment. Far from being a polluter, the facility provides a key solution to the long-standing problem of untreated wastewater for around 150.000 citizens, which pollutes the Morača River, the Zeta Valley, the Skadar Lake area and the Adriatic Sea," the EU Delegation said recently, responding to questions from "Vijesti".
They called on all stakeholders, including local authorities and public officials, to refrain from spreading false claims regarding the EU-funded wastewater treatment plant project in Podgorica.
"The claims that this facility poses a threat to public health or is based on outdated technology are completely unfounded. The project envisages a modern and safe facility, fully compliant with EU standards. Thousands of such facilities are operating successfully across the European Union and beyond, improving environmental protection and safeguarding community health," the EU Delegation specified.
