Save Sinjajevina: Herders and activists protect Montenegrin pastures from military occupation

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

by Pablo Dominguez, 11 January 2021

After a mobile blockade lasting almost two months, a small group of traditional herders and activists has successfully repelled NATO and the Montenegrin military’s efforts to occupy the territory of Sinjajevina in Montenegro – the largest mountain grassland in the Balkans and the second in Europe.

In an archetypal David and Goliath encounter, Sinjajenivan herders have braved and adapted to COVID-19 lockdowns, driving snow and sub-zero temperatures to keep numerous military incursions at bay.

by Bruce Gagnon is coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space.

29 December 2020

One of the pre-conditions for Soviet support for the reunification of East & West Germany was the promise from the US that NATO would not expand ‘one centimeter’ toward the Russian borders. The Soviet Union’s Warsaw Pact alliance folded after its collapse thus making no need for NATO. Instead since those days NATO has been on steroids and is now working to become a global alliance.
