After years of public pressure and legal scrutiny, the national energy company EPCG withdrew its request to continue the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process for the Komarnica HPP. However, this was a tactical retreat—not a cancellation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) failed to reject the EIA study outright, avoiding a legal resolution that would have permanently halted the project. This deliberate inaction has left the door open for future attempts, especially amid ongoing efforts to weaken environmental legislations.
On April 29th, over 200 respected scientists, economists, energy experts, engineers, and legal professionals from across Europe signed a letter to fully support the citizens' demands and the Save Komarnica initiative, calling for an urgent stop to this destructive project.
The experts warn:
> A dam would cause the irreversible loss of priceless ecosystems and unique species.
> Natural water processes would be permanently disrupted.
> Global biodiversity protection efforts would be seriously harmed.
