Podgorica's wastewater treatment plant (collector) planned in Botun will bring two more environmental problems to the residents of that Zeta village, in addition to the red mud pool, claims Professor Čedo Maksimović, one of the experts who conducted a preliminary analysis of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the project for the needs of the Zeta Municipality.
Maksimović said tonight on the Reflektor show on Television Vijesti that this is outdated technology, and that such facilities are being closed and demolished across Europe.
However, the director of Podgorica's Waterworks, Aleksandar Nišavić, claims that more than 30 such plants are operating worldwide and announces that construction will begin in three weeks at the latest.
The residents of Botuni, who are waiting in a tent for the referendum in Zeta scheduled for December 14th, reiterate that they will not allow construction and are calling for an agreement on another location.
"We are here to help the population, from the scourge of red mud that is killing unborn children, now they are being put on their heads with facilities that the designers claim are state-of-the-art technology, where there are a lot of elements, and there are a lot of elements and that it is outdated technology, which will make life even more miserable for these people with the stench. You see that rectangle in the middle. That is an open pool with active oil, where it stinks, brother. And now an incinerator is being added to that, so as not to open a third track. So, three ecologically catastrophic sources of environmental pollution, two new ones are being opened, in addition to one already existing one," Maksimović said in Reflektor.
He added that it is an air pollutant.
"What you see is outdated," said Maksimović.
Nišavić said on the show that in the coming days, the contractor will need to obtain all the necessary documents, that is, all the necessary policies needed to register the construction with the competent building inspector.
"After the policies and other documentation are submitted, the competent inspector has seven days to make a report, after which it is possible to begin work on this plot," said Nišavić.
When asked "what does that mean, in how many days could the first shovel be laid in Botun," Nišavić said "in the next three weeks."
Botun resident Milan Ćetković told Reflektor that if the competent institutions come to remove the tent, someone will suffer major consequences.
"If the citizens of Zeta say by their votes that a collector should be built, let them be happy. But rest assured that the citizens of Zeta will not do it. Let's sit down, find a compromise, and we offer a compromise at the Luča bridge," said Ćetković.
