Battle for Kruščica still ongoing: Brave guardians coming to Sarajevo

The battle for the Kruščica river, where - according to some information - the company Higracon from Sarajevo is trying to build a small hydropower plant, has been ongoing since the beginning of August.

Locals have rebelled against the construction permit, which was obtained by circumventing laws and democratic procedures, and they are daily protecting their river from excavators with their own bodies. Because of this, many of them, especially women, have already suffered violence from special police and private security guards on several occasions, and dozens of misdemeanor charges with very high fines have been filed against them.

Brave guardians will come to Sarajevo on Monday, September 25, 2017, to attend the session of the Security Commission of the House of Representatives of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the Information on the security situation in Kruščica will also be considered.

- On that occasion, you can be informed about the decisive fight of the locals for the preservation of their river directly from them, at 12:00 PM, in front of the Parliament of the Federation building (on Obala), where their delegation, together with solidarity activists from Sarajevo, will await information from the Commission's session - it was announced.
