Hazardous waste from North Macedonia taken over by a Serbian company raises suspicions after the accident in Beirut

, News

The North Macedonia’s portal Lokalno.mk recently published an article in which it is written that in November 2019, the government there managed to remove harmful fuel from the vicinity of Skopje.

“Based on the government’s conclusion and the agreement with the only bidder” Trayal Corporation AD Kruševac “- the Republic of Serbia, a large amount of dangerous and explosive items that were previously owned by AD” Teas-Temko “on the property of AD” Makpetrol “was finally exported from Skopje, “the portal quoted a statement from the North Macedonian Government as saying. It is added that this is how the state eliminated the danger of an accident like the one that happened recently in Beirut.

The organization “Vojvodina Green Initiative” referred to the claims of the media in North Macedonia according to which “Trayal Corporation AD Krusevac” took over large quantities of hazardous waste and explosives from a company from Skopje free of charge last year, N1 reported.

“We would not have found out about this problem if environmental activists from North Macedonia had not informed us about it, as we do not follow North Macedonian portals. We contacted the Ministry of Environmental Protection and they told us that the company from Serbia does not have a permit for transport and storage of environmental waste.”, said the author of the tv show” Green Patrol “, Milica Alavanja, for TV N1.

She notes that the state must check that information and adds that it is not known where the waste is currently located.

“It is also intriguing that the company from Serbia, according to the information from North Macedonia, took over that waste completely free of charge. “How is it possible for it to pay off for someone, if it is hazardous waste, we believe that the competent ministry should have been informed about that,” added Milica Alavanja.

The author, who has been recording the show “Green Patrol” for 10 years, says that the biggest problem in environment here is corruption.

“Our laws are relatively well written, but the problem is that they are not implemented, we lack inspection services, institutions that will implement those laws,” said Milica Alavanja.
