Pravi luksuz je tišina Buljarice.
The Bay of Buljarica faces an irreversible future. When controversial investors, such as Mohamed Alabbar from Dubai, disparagingly refer to the pristine Adriatic bay as “untapped potential,” it is far more than a mere miscalculation. What looks like an empty, worthless area from a distance is, in reality, the most valuable socio-ecological capital that Montenegro possesses. Current developments, such as those in Durrës, Albania, call for caution. They demonstrate the risk of irreparable damage caused by profit-driven developers, whose consequential costs must ultimately be borne by taxpayers.
However, an alternative exists that can serve as a revolutionary pilot project for the entire region. As a proven top expert in sustainable regional development and biodiversity, Dr. Helmut Röscheisen brings international experience to this debate. This doctor of social sciences and former Secretary General of the German Nature Conservation Ring (DNR) explains in a conversation with Tamara Gajić (from the “Naša Buljarica” Initiative) the extent to which nature conservation is a far more profitable economic strategy for the common good. He outlines what true progress should look like if it is not created for foreign investors, but rather as a national success model in the interest of the people.
