Demir Kapija – Smokvica motorway

The 32-kilometre motorway section between Demir Kapija and Smokvica will be constructed in a pristine forested area and built near the protected Demir Kapija gorge, rich in many endemic and rare animal and plant species. The gorge is one of the richest ornithological reserves in Europe, and the project would damage many habitats and ecological corridors, including brown bear migration corridors. Restoration efforts are ambiguous and do not guarantee appropriate compensation.
