For ten months now, the citizens of Strpce have been unsuccessfully trying to prevent the construction of mini hydroelectric power plants in this municipality. They are still not giving up on what can only be described as a quixotic fight. They were able to temporarily halt the construction in Bitinja today, given that the works were being carried out on privately owned parcels of land – Strpce resident, Radoica Mrdjinac told KoSSev.

The Mountain Rescue Service of Serbia confirmed to news agency Tanjug that the instructors of that service were detained on Sunday evening in Kosovo.

Tanjug was told earlier by the Office for Kosovo and Metohija that eight members of the Mountain Rescue Service (GSS) were detained while returning from Brezovica, after they conducted a three-day training on rescue from the avalanche in the municipality of Strpce on the Sara mountain.
