A serious incident occurred at the Potrlica coal mine in Pljevlja when a mine level collapsed onto an excavator. No one was injured as there was no one near the excavator at the time of the collapse. The project to relocate the Ćehotina riverbed, worth over 20 million euros, is being carried out by a consortium of companies. There are disagreements regarding the supervision of the works and the increase in project costs. The incident has raised concerns about safety and transparency in the execution of the works.
Political Perspectives:
Left: The left-leaning reports emphasize the safety concerns and the lack of transparency in the management of the mining project. They highlight the potential risks to workers and the community, questioning the oversight and accountability of the companies involved. The increase in project costs is seen as a sign of mismanagement or corruption.
Center: Center-leaning sources report the incident factually, focusing on the details of the collapse, the absence of injuries, and the ongoing project to relocate the riverbed. They provide balanced coverage of the project’s scope, costs, and the companies involved, mentioning the concerns raised but without strong editorializing.
Right: Right-leaning narratives may emphasize the economic importance of the mining project and the efforts to modernize infrastructure. They might downplay the incident as an unfortunate but isolated event, stressing the quick response and the continuation of the project. They may also highlight the job creation and investment aspects.
