Moder, is sleeping into the ground. Plus the river bed has been new. Is day according to is the fish are gone and life has disappeared from the river. So we basically have a desert here. Id say the water level is only a 3rd or half of what it used to be. Triple the unspoiled nature of montenegro is its greatest treasure. Busy and more, this is exactly why to us from the west come here for the service of a sizable portion of monte negroes longest, enjoys unesco protection. For a long time, the population had no idea that highway superstructures, bridge p is, would be built directly on the river that will probably take 3 or 4 years for any fish to show up. Everything is all kind of su, november, me sat about whats happened to this beautiful rivers. I should have been saved by any means necessary. But of almost a to and this was like kaiser that supported according to european regulations, mistress of highway here should have been as short as possible. The cartridge was dead, it runs a full 2 kilometers along the river bed to the highway is being built by the china road and Bridge Corporation or c, b c, a chinese stay tuned enterprise but local companies are also involved in what is the largest Infrastructure Project in mountain eclipse, history, the highway will stretch a total of 170 kilometers, connecting the port city of bo. Weve probably got a in the north. And well eventually run from the adria attic sea to the via serbia. 42 kilometers between the capital put gaudy time and quarter lashing practically finished. The original estimated cost of this section alone is 1000000000 bureaus, 800000000 of which is financed by loan from china as x and back. In the meantime, the cost of this section has turned out to be over a 100000000. 00 euros higher than originally planned. And exxon domestic is a montenegrin consultant whos been involved as the direct just the Health Safety and environment. Since construction of the project began, he was hired by the china road to Bridge Corporations 7 and a half years ago. Construction began in 2017 for project incorporating 16 tunnels and 21 bridges. One of the highest bridges in europe. The highest point from the river itself is 200 meters. It was very challenging for 5 and not design, and its against the weight difficult to deal with. Its a huge difference in elevation. We have 12 elements of 1000 explains that project. Most wonderful thing that happened to 560 or 100 years from now if it can come to for the rest of the capital and then on the coast for me, it was a challenge and the privilege to be a part of this kind of National National life project. Montenegrin officials hope that the highway will provide a boost for the under develop northern part of the country and attract more towards the 1st section is scheduled to open in a month 3 years later than planned up to 3000. 00 Chinese Workers are included on the construction site during peak activity, you know, theyre not allowed to talk to the media, part of the companys communication strategy. The, how about how are you . I dont think okay, good. These bits we have soft, Electrical Mechanical installation. So thats a single hold on any. So thanks for sending policies to 4 months and it shows up in the, in the software. This is up to the allow the you have to be the any, any, any risk from, from me pulling down or anything. And it was really, really strong. Some that had to make sure the dont have inside the construction company, his face strategic criticism, especially in connection with environmental violation, be honest. This was but im not sure that i can, they can speak like this by my, my personal opinions. So thats the most politically driven and driven by some environmental zeros that negatively oriented towards these projects. Because they, they want us to avoid the river. But its still us will design the routes of the highway. We did is, according to the conceptual design made by the government this is the section attracting most criticism from the ponies to the highway web bridge p is run directly on the risk as to several columbus as well. This particular area we made, let me do some plan which was adopted and approved by the environment agency. The Section Agency is you can see other software up throwing up with the roster. Youll find the ross and found some, some, some nice sees, and the green and the river received its, its previous me. So the river course and the river bed, you have to have certainly at least the visual impact. I mean, you choose that they want to have a high rate on so i mean, this is the cost of this, but still, again, i wouldnt mind even for theyll go down and drink from from the meaning of that of its fishing. Club protected and took care of the fish population of atara near cor lashing until the construction began. At the time, he was one of the 1st people to draw attention to the impending damage. The project would cause. And the 1st group to listen to him was an engineer called mans sound performed driving the phone when we began to question, while highway was even allowed to be built, that we were trying to find out if the state was managing construction properly and whether environmental instinct is with doing the job that others work well, so im not sure i love that will let them in. Our government declared Vital Information to be subject to state secrecy. It was by no means unless we still dont know where the money went. Now instead of 800000000 euros, the highway costs over a 1000000000 or solar system in the course of a subsequently out of the mans is finance by the you and deals primarily with corruption, an organized crime. The n g o has also found evidence of nepotism and waste of public funds during the freeway project and is pursuing cases of incompetence. So you think the revitalization measures are insufficient . Almost only cosmetic, at best. The most damage was caused by excavating right in the river itself. They cleaned the machines and the tata in the cement from those machines, damage the river, especially young fish. The cement gets caught in their gills and causes them to suffocate. Nicola sheen, the tunnel became as brown as earth and it was devastating for all river life. We tried to fight and organized protests, of that. The government refused to hear us the only sort of listening when months also began criticising for months. Montenegro is currently seeking you membership, but the countrys debt has increased significantly because of the highways construction project as part of china. So crowd initiative which has been investing around the world, including in the balkans months and he goes current parliamentary speaker was instrumental in developing plans for the highway and negotiating the project for the chinese at the time even by of which was minister of transport. Nice for me, but i came back, we never said no to the you was very nice, but they would just no serious offers me and meal. And i understand your not the thing is that the, the simplest concepts of why we chose a Chinese Company is that it had the best and cheapest offer. The package comes to me, slope customer the, the critics attack of saying it was a highway from nowhere to nowhere where i get an adult to me slowly please feel free to call it. In fact, what we started with the most difficult section of the type of roots and so that we could have a nice, you know, hands with you and implement the rest of the highway with the private and was full Public Financing a coil. Most of them on the phone with some of the units that i didnt know if we can pretty luckily i dont know, but thats where the rest of the funding will comes from. Remains unclear. Needed is none of which house is located in core lashing not fall from the tara, where he and his friends remain. I would fly fishes. The media has trying to make the winter result is crushing, appealing to fish interests in summer. But the damage to the tower river has ruined his plans. Are small and then usually add a drop of nail polish to firm it all up of your domains. And sonya, my dream was to organize a World Championship for fly fishing and montenegro school programs. The benefits for local residents would be a normal site and its we are over envelopes as low as a good tourist, little shot. You also, but mostly belong to the upper middle and upper class abuse. And they have disposable income. They like to spend, or you might with or you dont know. So the port or should the, and extend the med tech to only sit on the highway construction site every day to ensure everything is perfect ahead of the opening. As i said, everything will be here. You have also Police Station Firefighters Service area, and the come on the face. The cmon center is the brain of the highway. The around 560. 00 cameras has been installed along the 42. 00 columbus to stretch. All of them are connected to Small Software that will ensure maximum safety for future road uses. For this particular car will slow down, then they will focus on that old car would stop to go reverse about just too fast. Then if a smoke up would appear, and you have special especially Design Software to recognize the smoke basic at the most sophisticated software, which is still on the the preparation also on the ground china road and Bridge Corporations. Software developers whos come to montenegro from single pool and blaze, you know, so the subset of everything. Yeah, yeah, thats the only system on the final cnbc easiest delivering the investing product to citizens. And im sure that as well say many lives in the future. Thank you very much too much. The highway is still a work in progress, but some drive is already enjoy using the completed sections as a foster route to put a question, which is a big safety issue for alex. Send them up that they just drove into it all. Yes. And they put their foot down. They passed to me at a 120 last the option and what are they getting . They dont know. Are they driving someone . I really have no idea sites. Its really difficult to, to fight this every, every single day 24 hours. Okay, thanks for now. All of such a wait for them then. Well then i suppose for their products, are they the ones who came in and smoke . Thats okay. Let me know if im yeah, yeah, catching the illegal, those buses and a 65 security at the end. And if i see something suspicious, i call them to, to block and call the police in case a few minutes late to alexander has located the road. Drivers location is from sub you to i in too much of a hurry to get to be a drastic coast the afternoon. You know, this is a construction site just you have to go back out where you drove in. Otherwise youll be find, find the police. This is a construction site, its close to the traffic. But gps, let us here drive to the next day. I call it like a gold dress. Everybody so keen to to drive on the highway. Because the kind of drugs drive for get it sent to collection is extremely narrow and dangerous. The old road was built in the 19 seventies and is currently the only connection between the capital and the northern parts of the country. And we have just just 2 lanes of the road and then you have a rate of box. And then you have a big like a canyon, a big rock pulling down pennies. Its very narrow, its very curvy. Then we have lots of trucks, lots of buses, and they have to drive slowly. And then they drive slowly, then you pile up. Hundreds of cars behind people drive fast want to overtake and if you want to avoid a car, then it just lead over to the rails has been many so many victims with accidents along this road a year ago, a colleague of alexanders also had to stay til accidents here, one of the strongest arguments cited by highway advocates, is that the project will help to avoid further such tragedies that instead of going to just from the mans and g o has documented evidence of how regulations and laws have been bent and broken during the highways construction the government has granted extraordinary concessions to Chinese Investors in all sub contractors involved. C, r b c, cause that is up when cnbc realized it was expensive to dispose of construction ways that they came up with a project to regulate the river, me by dumping it all along the banks, claiming that it would prevent flooding away. Pretty charles, sire 5, but his meal has already said they basically just lift piles of garbage from the tunnel drilling. Is that a completely changing the character of the tower with us for me, which has become the dumping ground for rubble and debris from the tunnel useful fall on your lot cordial. So what do you think that and thats certainly one of the marietta accusations gravel has also been taken from the tara, which is strictly prohibited in a sense that lead the c, b. C to be charged and find one of those non where yes the so so we know that all the fines imposed on c b c and the sub contractors were very smooth and not nearly enough to cover the damage close to the re the there was so many problems with this project and that it see it was something the 3 met. I guess the most glaring example that the montenegrin public has learned about joe, is that the highways may in connection to go. Its the smoke of absolute. We simply for going to have for residence so long around the point where it says she was not even part of the original agreement. It was added later. Its a great deal, oregon 9. Busy black star, e knock, somebody to go out on the coolest, we need a highway on yale. So, but it needs to be done in a way that serves the Public Interest of or that doesnt just line the pockets of Privilege Companies and individual states in the, i know not trans up the company. And for the simple, do we have an equation benefits see it of a sudden down pull changes, the sounds plans hes driving to visit someone whos properties, right on the highway of the most of the people like petty shell, bicycle beach, are an important source of information for the patient, is it the same 7 to quote cases because the Construction Materials used in the so called Risk Management and stuff and hes gotten which is right next to one of the towers. Cubic feet or 2, Something Like that was just dumped on my field. Not to mention the big stone you the form you quote from a. This is material that was dug out of the my tissue time on is, what am i to shovel 3 is for 5, i knew the over there is the tunnels x. It will go through the some are you going to is that need to know what that was taken out of that tunnel and ended up here in the gardens use of a is the general view. Little dont watch. We tried to get them to take it away. Thats cool. But its dave here. Im totally circled. I do. So is there any problem you you told me a lot. Of course this is a problem for me to call you to better homes key. I used to be able to access the river directly fit them. Now theyve built this protective quality at the costs of it. And it looks ugly. When you build the site, you split your direct me with all i used to be able to look directly at the river from my house. Ive been remote now i have to walk around or climb up there or no, i get felicia, hes abandoned. Hes gone into full years because of the construction site. Mila has of visited today. Natasha cove activate. Shes an environmental ex, but who works for the n g o bank watch which scrutinizes investments by International Financial institutions in terms of environmental and social criteria. The Loan Agreement montenegro has entered into its china is controversial and the big talking points in the countries relations. Janet premium goodness. Yeah. National, im not blaming the chinese name is im blaming a government. Its not something that does hold nigrama. Whichever a common mistake Little Church montenegro be unable to repay the loan installment of the contracts and allows the Chinese Investor to claim on to meet with state property as compensation, equity. And excuse me, my, most them you for the most unlikely. The one that could affect strategically important assets. Steve truck up up with a symbol. For example. Appleton barley, illinois, the near keith defendant before the railroad claim um, which i just may say stuck with that that level. So this is a danger that has already become reality in other countries to the course, which was fairly well. Well do games. I mean, im of that stuff. So the only trade routes are of great interest to china. It is, its one trillion dollar new silk road project aims to open up the countries access to markets in asia, africa, and by the balkans to europe. So to ever take you through this in this level, that will come out to e mail with the we have a week for democracy, save on dana country. Its investors with pretty aggressive time to take the, to the ones with him for limited exam yet. But kind of crew to even the bulk and countries like montenegro as the by a to a new membership own. Yeah. That becoming increasingly oriented to truly Nice Investment skinners k. With state government, i feel more comfortable working with the Chinese Government and chinese investments. Probably because this daunted, so not the same and the more convenient if you had a less than a full portion of understand that the me a nice for me will right now its on 3 a when or even to build the 2 missing highway sections to the coast and to sub yeah. So this is the end of the road. So you can see and the 42 kilometer long highway a this is the, the hill calls especially big this. It will be the next challenge. Hopefully well see how to be see the next phase from under david. So i bet on this is to serve in boulder and i and i highly appreciate the Chinese Investors and satisfaction bank. And i think in the balkans the easiest to to work with best quality and develop over the country. Now if, if you would be a well bank call your opinion to make some calculations on what you need to do, then we will decide in 5 years or 10 years, or 15 years. And we have to think of our sales 1st. But meet it as that of each and the technical back to beach on just thinking about themselves. That thinking about future generations as well. Thats why for them the price of the highway is just too high. The little look here, for example, who the see you can see it on the bottom on yes. That on as it is equal to, yes, i can see it. So thats a lot of a small one. The to come in. Yeah. Well the the tell you there it is. Love it here. And there are more here. Yes ontario, some tiny crayfish. Oh, let me pull this up over to you have no idea on it too. We are in an area here that could be a good, happy touch, the trout and other species of fish buddies, but the buffering with the blue give us that. But if were talking about babies, they had the same on no way to be seen here to pro exactly yours, but its a shame that are used to fish this part of the tata all the time. It was full of fish wherever the la puente ribbon on us. This is a unique feature is monique, wheres constitution isnt the 1st article to class the country to be an ecological state. But the government and the business and industry sector has been failing for years to deliver on this patient that the, you know, be a while you the, all the other websites. I probably wont see of a ton of return to the way it used to be a little, not quite country club, maybe some day will recover what not in my lifetime, of probably the motors you opened the most, please.
