What happened to the Raška River near Novi Pazar? Fishermen are in shock – hundreds of dead fish are floating in the river, including the rarest and largest species that have survived there for decades. This is not just a fishing problem; it’s a full-blown ecological disaster! Fishermen from local associations are demanding urgent action from authorities because, as they say, this is an unprecedented fish kill. According to unofficial information, someone released poison into the river and killed all the aquatic life. Imagine, everything swimming in the river died in just one day!
But that’s not all – while the river dies, farmers in the Moravica district are battling a multi-week drought threatening this year’s harvests. Temperatures soared above 40 degrees Celsius, and crops like potatoes and corn are in terrible shape. Fruit and vegetable growers are eagerly waiting for rain, but forecasts remain uncertain.
This combo of ecological disaster and extreme weather is casting a dark shadow over the future of nature and agriculture in this part of Serbia. Will the authorities act in time, or will we watch nature and people suffer together? Got thoughts? Drop them in the comments – maybe your voice will start a wildfire of change!
