Serbia: los habitantes de un pueblo recuperan agua de una nueva central hidroeléctrica

Villagers in Rakita in southeastern Serbia have removed pipes

installed to serve a new hydroelectric power plant on a nearby river.
The local people, who were helped by environmental activists,
fear the installation would devastate fish stocks in the Rakitska river,
cause wells to dry up, and deprive livestock of water.
Around 100 small hydropower plants have been constructed in Serbia,
according to the Environment Ministry.
The state power company offers strong incentives
and commits to buying electricity generated by the plants
at a price 50 percent higher than the market rate.
"People are leaving the village.
If there is no river, there is nothing left for them."
"There are people living nearby, they have cattle, they have gardens,
the river means a lot to them."
"And then, some investors came and snatched the river from them.
They had no right to do that."
Supporters of the hydropower plants
argue the environmental impact is well-known,
but point to the far greater damage caused by coal-powered generation.
They say Serbia has to make a choice.
