📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Environmental Protection, Sara Pavkov, announced today in Mionica the start of works on the project for the remediation, recultivation, and closure of the unsanitary landfill, which is being implemented with the support of the Ministry, addressing one of the biggest ecological problems in this area. Here in Mionica, in the Kolubara district, in a few days, work will begin on the removal, remediation, and recultivation of the unsanitary landfill. This is important for the citizens because Mionica belongs to the waste management region that, together with 14 other local government units, will start gravitating towards the new regional waste management center in Kalenic at the beginning of 2026. For 30 years, waste has been inadequately managed at this site, and I believe that the commitment and responsibility of the mayor, Boban Jankovic, and his team is sufficient proof of how they think about the citizens of Mionica and the protection of the environment, which is important for absolutely everyone in this area. We will strive, with expert expertise, to also provide Mionica with a solution on how to optimally and sustainably introduce a part that is very significant for the citizens, where they can also contribute through a form of selection, said Pavkov. The Minister emphasized that in the next few months, the procedure related to the construction of seven recycling yards, or waste collection centers, will be completed, including Mionica. With this, we completely close the waste management system according to the highest European and world standards. When this project is completed, and as I said, the works will start in a few days, we will fully protect all environmental media. What is most important for the citizens of Mionica is that we will protect the Ribnica River, which is of great importance regarding aquatic ecosystems in this area. We will come in a few months to see how the works are progressing, but also to talk to the citizens about how we can further help. Today, we also agreed on additional equipment in the form of bins and containers of different capacities than before, as well as the continuation of investments in the waste management system. I am sure that new important projects for the citizens await us and that, together, we will move towards an even greener and cleaner Mionica, Pavkov concluded.
