Notification of participation possibility in overboard consultations, according to international rules, hasn’t been delivered either.
“Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism will contact the focal point of Espoo center in Serbia and ask if Montenegro can be consulted. It will also ask for delivery of Study about project influence estimation and other relevant documents in order to have possibility to comment them”, was stated in Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism.
Montenegro will insist on overboard consultations and take all legal and administrative measures predicted with international contracts and domestic legislative.
“Further steps are defined with legal frame in case of not delivering Study to Montenegro, they suggest Espoo Convention Department interfering in the concrete case”, it was stated in Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism.

These measures refer to certain activities that can cause significant overboard influence.
