Jezero Residents Challenge Geological Research Amid Environmental Concerns
Residents in Jezero are opposing geological research led by Yugo Metals, fearing potential mining risks. The Pliva River's role as a crucial drinking water source for over 250,000 people is at stake, prompting legal actions and protests.

Residents of Jezero, along with those from Mrkonjić Grad and Šipovo, are protesting against geological research and potential mining activities planned by Yugo Metals. The ongoing opposition is fueled by concerns over the Pliva River, a vital resource for drinking water and tourism, impacting over 250,000 individuals in surrounding areas.
Legal actions and further protests are being organized to halt these initiatives, especially following the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska's amendments allowing concessions without local consent. The presence of minerals like gold, lead, and cobalt has been confirmed in the region, intensifying environmental and public health concerns.
