Have you heard about Sinjajevina? It’s one of Montenegro’s most beautiful and valuable natural gems, and for years it was on the brink of becoming a military polygon! Yes, you read that right — the army wanted to turn this untouched nature into a place for exercises and shooting. Luckily, the Ministry of Ecology finally said STOP! A proposal to annul government decisions supporting the establishment of a military polygon on Sinjajevina is on the table, marking a huge step towards protecting biodiversity, the traditional way of life of local people, and sustainable development potential. Sinjajevina deserves protected status, not destruction for military use. The Ministry of Ecology clearly states that preserving this area is about respecting the will of citizens and local communities. The government is expected to adopt this proposal at the next session, showing that Montenegro chooses the path of sustainability and respect for natural values. Thought this was the end of the story? Think again! Nature conservation is not just an ecological issue, but a political, social, and economic one. While other news talks about reforms in the security sector and Germany’s support, here it’s about choosing between destruction and preservation. Sinjajevina is a symbol of the fight for nature and local community rights. Will Montenegro really stand with nature or allow this jewel to become a military polygon? Stay tuned and don’t forget to share your thoughts — maybe you have the solution to this dilemma!
