Government has dropped the construction of the second block of the Thermal Power Plant in Pljevlja for the sake of environment, said Prime Minister, Mr Duško Marković, at the Miločer Development Forum. He said that the Government was spending over €50 million for the recovery of black ecological points.
According to him, ecology is one of very few issues on which the consensus has been reached.
Mr Marković said that there had been a transformation in energy and a shift towards renewable resources.
“We quit trying to exploit potentials of the great coal deposit in Pljevlja for the purposes of the construction of the second thermal power plant, although it would have been huge investment. We said no, we are going to build what is in the interest of our economic policy, sustainable development and environment preservation”, said Mr Marković.
