Forestry Crisis in Montenegro: Private Forest Owners Blocked for Months Despite Legal Papers! Is this a new bureaucratic nightmare or a deliberate strangling of the private sector? Due to delays in forming a new forestry management company and unclear legal regulations, workers are left without income, and authorities remain silent with no concrete solutions. Marjan Obrović, a forest lessee, openly states that promises are empty, and the situation is so dire that forest owners are forced to take to the streets in protest. Even though they hold all legal documents, they cannot work, deadlines are expiring, and the law is changing without a clear strategy. The Director of the Forestry Management Administration, Miloš Rajković, claims he cannot allow logging without proper tree marking, but the new company has not yet been formed, further complicating matters. Opposition MPs and unions warn that the law was passed without serious analysis and that the consequences will be catastrophic for the sector. The union emphasizes they were not involved in the law-making process, and the company formation is chaotic and unrealistic. Will Montenegro allow its forestry industry to collapse due to poor planning and political games? This saga is far from over, and forest owners and workers remain trapped in a bureaucratic maze.
