Program:

18h Projekcija filma „Plavo srce” o borbama za reke Balkana

U cilju zaštite reka Balkana i sprečavanja izgradnje preko 3000 planiranih malih hidroelektrana pokrenuta je kampanja Spasimo plavo srce Evrope (Save the Blue Heart of Europe). Dokumentarni film „Plavo srce“ u produkciji Patagonije govori o vrednosti neukroćenih vodotokova Balkana i ljudima iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Albanije i Makedonije koji se bore za opstanak svojih reka.

19h MHE se gradi, šta da se radi? (diskusija sa aktivistima i aktivistkinjama iz Kraljeva i Srbije)

Na teritoriji Kraljeva nalaze se reke i potoci izuzetne lepote i važnosti za očuvanje biodiverziteta Srbije i cele Evrope. Nažalost, na istim vodotokovima planirana je gradnja čak 52 male hidroelektrane od kojih je 10 već uspelo da se izgradi i naruši ekosistem reka i okoline. Čućemo iskustva, prepreke i uspehe lokalnih pokreta i posvećenih pojedinaca iz drugih mesta Srbije i razmotriti pravne mehanizme zaštite. Predstavićemo mapu sa izgrađenim i planiranim projektima mini-hidrocentrala u regionu Kraljeva i okoline – na području Goča i Golije.

U razgovoru o neodrživoj hidroenergiji i mogućnostima borbe za slobodne reke učestvuju:

– Jelena Tot  i Nebojša Kovandžić (Sačuvajmo planinske reke Kraljeva)

Program:

●       6 PM Blue Heart movie 
In order to protect the rivers of the Balkans and prevent the construction of over 3,000 planned small hydropower plants, the Save the Blue Heart of Europe campaign was launched. The documentary ’’Blue Heart’’, produced by Patagonia, talks about the value of untamed watercourses in the Balkans and people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Macedonia who are fighting for the survival of their rivers.

●       7 PM What can we do as citizens?

On the territory of Municipality of Kraljevo, there are rivers and streams of exceptional beauty and importance for preserving the biodiversity of Serbia and the whole of Europe. Unfortunately, the construction of 52 small hydroelectric power plants is planned on the same watercourses, 10 of which have already managed to build and disrupt the ecosystem of rivers and the surrounding area. We will hear the experiences, obstacles, and successes of local movements and dedicated individuals from other parts of Serbia and consider legal protection mechanisms. Hence, we’ll present a map with built and planned projects of mini-hydropower plants in the region of Kraljevo and its surroundings – in the area of Goč and Golija.
