The complaint was submitted in 2022 by an individual on behalf of a consortium of Čuvari Petruške krajine / The guardians of Petrush Valley, KORS/Mining Watch SerbiaZaštitimo Jadar i Rađevinu/ Protect Jadar and Radjevina. The complaint concerns stone quarries in Mountain Baba that would allegedly threat 46 species protected under Appendices II and III and an Important Bird Area.
According to the complainant, at the core of the complaint there is the failure to provide appropriate and necessary legislative and administrative protection measures for the wild flora and fauna species in Serbia. In the co-complainants’ opinion, Serbia’s weak EIA process makes it extremely difficult for the public to fully review environmental impacts and participate in the decision-making processes. The stone quarries would critically endanger the ecosystem due to change in geomorphology and land-use pattern with loss of habitat, dust, generation of a high level of noise, vibrations, erosion, subsidence, and sedimentation, groundwater flow, groundwater quality, and overall water quality.
