Commenting on today's order from the environmental inspection to close the boiler house in Skerlićeva Street, the President of the Municipality of Pljevlja, Dario Vraneš, told "Vijesti" that this is "classic blackmail by the environmental inspection to keep the citizens of Pljevlja silent."
"This action insults the intelligence of every reasonable citizen of Pljevlja," Vranes pointed out.
He said that the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant (TPP) burns an incomparably higher amount of coal, but that environmental inspectors have not yet requested its closure.
"On a daily basis, the boiler house consumes six to seven tons of coal and the inspection is requesting its closure. The thermal power plant consumes 6.000 tons of coal daily and the inspection is not requesting its closure," Vranes told Vijesti.
The Environmental Inspection today ordered the director of the company "Grijanje Pljevlje", Vlado Tošić, to close the boiler room on Skerlićeva Street, even though, according to him, the pollution measurement results have never been better.
Tošić points out that exceedances of pollutants have been significantly reduced compared to the previous year.
DON'T MISS IT
He warns that closing the boiler house would lead to huge consequences, both for the company and for citizens.
According to unofficial information from "Vijesti", workers employed in the boiler room are refusing to turn off the boilers due to the risk of burst pipes and major material damage, but also due to the fact that thousands of citizens in the center of Pljevlja would be left without heating.
