We took part in the citizens’ assembly of the Municipality of Sopot, one of the thirstiest municipalities in Serbia. Under the slogan “Water, our right, not our treasure,” citizens demanded concrete measures to address the long-standing problems of water distribution and supply during the summer months.

In a single day, 620 wildfires were recorded across Serbia. Fires in the country pose a serious long-term threat to both people and nature. They are caused by prolonged drought, poor forest management, and careless fire use. The most vulnerable are remote and neglected villages, which suffer additional consequences from these disasters due to decades of neglect.

In August 2025, a group of scientists from the “Siniša Stanković” Institute for Biological Research conducted a study of the lower course of the Studenica River. The research revealed a high level of biodiversity and a complex structure of the fish community. Preserving this unique ecosystem is of crucial importance.
