Protest Planned in Skopje Regarding Cetinaria Permit Amendment
A grassroots initiative, “Stop for Us,” in Skopje will hold a protest tomorrow concerning a proposed amendment to a capacity permit issued by Cetinaria. The protest focuses on concerns regarding adherence to European standards. The Ministry of Environment has stated that the amended permit allows for a deviation from established regulations.
Activists associated with “Stop for Us” argue that Cetinaria’s decision necessitates a continued assessment of the Usce site using criteria established prior to 2007. Specifically, the group contends that the current permit lacks specific measures for emission reduction and that companies should continue to operate based on outdated hazard assessments. They believe the revised permit should align with pre-2007 standards and “best available techniques,” rather than immediately adopting European regulations.
The planned protest aims to stop the implementation of the amended permit. Organizers are calling for a reevaluation of the site’s assessment, emphasizing the need for measures addressing emission reduction. The debate centers on the balance between regulatory compliance and the continued use of older methodologies for environmental monitoring.
