Have you ever heard of Sinjajevina? It’s a natural gem in Montenegro, a place that has been targeted by military plans for years. But hold on tight, Defense Minister Dragan Krapović is proposing to put an end to the military polygon saga on this land! Yes, you read that right! After years of protests, nature protection camps, and local uproar, Montenegro’s 44th government might just cancel the previous governments’ decisions that allowed military use of Sinjajevina.
This move isn’t just political theater — it’s a promise kept to citizens and environmentalists. Sinjajevina is famous for its untouched nature and beauty, and now it looks like that beauty will be preserved for future generations. The Ministry of Defense says it remains committed to transparency and respecting the needs of local communities, as well as the military.
Remember, the plan to create a military polygon on Sinjajevina started back in 2017, with several government decisions enabling it. But local residents and environmental activists fiercely opposed it, organizing protests and protection camps. Now, Krapović’s proposal to annul those decisions represents an institutional closing of this controversial chapter.
Is this the end of military exploitation of Sinjajevina? It seems so, at least on paper. But as we know, paper can take anything. We’ll have to see if the new government really honors this proposal and puts nature ahead of military needs.
If you thought this was just another political story, think again. Protecting nature and local community rights is something that affects us all. And if you have an opinion, why not share it? Maybe your voice is what Sinjajevina needs to stay untouched!
