Officials of the Regional Security Center "North" submitted a criminal complaint to the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Bijelo Polje against R.H. from Bijelo Polje. He is suspected of illegally felling 178 oak trees in the state forest in Lozna.

According to the announcement of the Police Administration, the felling took place in 2026, and the estimated material damage that R.H. caused to the Directorate for Forest and Hunting Management is significant. The police emphasized that they will continue with activities to combat environmental crime, which is recognized as one of the national priorities.

The police administration pointed out that the fight against illegal cutting of forests is one of the key goals in preserving the natural resources of Montenegro. This action is part of a broader strategy that includes strengthening measures to protect forests and natural resources, as well as educating citizens about the importance of environmental protection.

The police announced that they will continue to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. The announcement comes at a time when more and more attention is being paid to protecting the country's forests and natural resources, which are essential for ecosystem sustainability.

Forest theft is a serious problem in Montenegro, and the authorities have recognized the need to strengthen forest protection measures. In this context, it is expected that this case will further motivate the competent institutions to strengthen the supervision and control over forest resources, in order to prevent similar activities in the future.

The Directorate for the Management of Forests and Hunting Grounds, as well as the police, call on citizens to report any suspicious activity related to illegal logging. This cooperation between institutions and citizens can contribute to the preservation of natural resources and environmental protection, which is of key importance for future generations.

According to information from the police, logging without a permit can have long-term consequences for the ecosystem, including loss of habitat for many species and reduction of biodiversity. These activities can also affect air and water quality, further emphasizing the importance of forest protection.

The police administration emphasized that it will continue to work on educating citizens about the legal consequences of illegal logging and the importance of forest conservation. It is expected that such initiatives will help raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage the community to actively participate in nature protection.

As part of its activities, the police plan to organize public campaigns and workshops to inform citizens about the rules and laws related to forest resources. These measures are part of a broader plan to preserve natural resources and improve environmental awareness among the population.

The Directorate for Forest and Hunting Management emphasizes that the preservation of forests is key to maintaining the ecological balance and health of the environment. Given the increasing pressure on forest resources, it is important that we all get involved in their protection and conservation.
