However, “Zidjin” filed an appeal against this verdict, explaining that outdated technology is to blame for the contamination. The Zajecar Basic Public Ministry also appealed against this decision, which acted on the appeal of the citizens, for which the Commercial Court of Appeals of Belgrade, to which the case was submitted on September 21, will give the last word.
Borani claimed in the lawsuit that the Chinese, after the contamination appeared, did not react in accordance with the law and stopped production, while the representatives of “Zidjin” claim that they always stopped production when the contamination “jumped” from the allowed values, but also defended by investing tens of millions of dollars in ecology alone, but that long-term results take time, and that they found a bad situation in the Bor smelter, despite the fact that the plant, like new, was put in operation in 2014.
Under the Air Protection Act, the fine for “Zidjin” could have been much higher, up to three million dinars, with a fine commensurate with the damage, but the court took into account extenuating circumstances: the company has more employees, not has been sentenced so far. so it is socially responsible and strives to take steps to reduce pollution.
