The Montenegro government was yesterday handed a 14,764 signature petition asking it to consider alternatives to its four dam plan for the country’s second most important and most scenic River. In Montenegro, Lake Skadar – a key area for biodiversity in the Balkans – is threatened by four dams planned on the Morača River. According to some studies, the dams could strongly affect the water levels in the lake hence putting a strain on its rich fish population and negatively affecting many local families who make a living from fisheries.
