Auch dieses Jahr versammelten sich Blue-Heart-Partner Center for Environment und die gesamte Sana-Koalition an der Quelle des Flusses und protestierten gegen die Zerstörung des Sana. Dabei wurde die österreichisch-deutsche Firma Kelag scharf kritisiert, die für den Bau des naturzerstörerischen Kraftwerks Medna verantwortlich ist. Die Sana ist einer der letzten Flüsse die Zufluchtsort für den Huchen bieten - eine bedrohte Fischart die besonders sensible auf Staudammbau reagiert. Flüsse mit Huchenvorkommen müssen auf jeden Fall tabu sein für den Staudammbau. Das Medna-Projekt ist ein Umweltverbrechen gegen den Fluss Sana.

The source of the Sana must be proclaimed as Monument of Nature
Prijedor, 4.6.2018. On the occasion of the World Environment Day and Sana River Day on June 5th, on which we carried out a protest walk to the springs of the river Sana, the Coalition for the River Sana is sending a message to the relevant institutions that the springs - as the heart of the Sana River - should be protected and proclaimed as a Monument of Nature. This must be done despite the shamefully built hydroelectric power plant "Medna" (HPP Medna), which will be remembered as one of the biggest failures and crimes against nature and people.
The Coalition for the River Sana also visited HPP Medna, where we witnessed drastically low water levels in the river, as well as several dead fish (European bullhead, Cottus gobio) on the banks. The low water levels do not provide enough water for the survival of the living world in the river, even in the period of the year when higher water levels are expected.
On this occasion of the World Environmental Day, a visit to the spring of this beautiful river was organized for the ninth year in a row. Numerous hikers joined the activists from the Coalition for the protection of rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina at this year's visit and supported the establishing of the Sana River spring as a nature monument. They all agreed that plans for the construction of 300 hydro power plants and the handing out of concession to our most important natural resources is theft of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
