Background

The Glisnice coal mine, located in Glisnica deposit, is a proposed open-pit coal mine owned by Rudnik Uglja (RUPV) in Montenegro. Approximately 300,000 tons of coal will be mined annually in Glisnica and will be transported by trucks to Pljevalje.

The government granted the concession for detailed geological research and coal mining to the Coal Mine for the period from April 1 2022 until April 1, 2029. The Glisnica mine would operate for a total of five years with a projected annual capacity of around 300,000 tons. The coal would be taken from Glisnica by trucks to the Maljevac crushing plant near the Pljevlja thermal power plant, 20,5 kilometers away.[3]
