The stone from the parapet on the Njeguška Serpentine, the oldest road between Cetinje and Kotor, has been disappearing for years, and the cause of the damage has not been clarified.
The NGO Our Action claims that this is an organized removal of hewn blocks and recalls that warnings were sent to inspections back in 2017, without concrete protection on the ground.
The Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage states that the serpentines have the status of a cultural asset of national importance, and that inspections have been conducted, but no criminal liability has been established.
The Police Directorate told Television Vijesti that they have not recorded any thefts in the last two years, but a field visit determined that stone parapets were missing in several locations, which is why increased controls have been announced.
