Background
The Glisnice coal mine is a shelved proposal for an open-pit coal mine at the Glisnica deposit in Montenegro, owned by Rudnik Uglja (RUPV).
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 was planned to 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 power station, 20.5 kilometers away.[4]
In September 2024, it was reported that there will be no coal mining in Glisnice. Approval for exploitation was not obtained because the Environmental Protection Agency did not give a positive opinion on the study on environmental protection assessment. According to the company, all analyses showed that coal exploitation in that area would be unprofitable.[5]
