On the final day of March 2019, Milojko Mandić received a call from his daughter who told him that “the forest is cracking” and “the ground is breaking open”.

Three years after the launch of a system through which citizens were reporting environmental issues, the Ministry of Environmental Protection introduced a new one.

This effort will cost more than 2 million EUR.
