On the occasion of more frequent allegations relating to the impact of the destruction of the military weapons on the environment, we inform the public that according to the Environmental Impact Assessment Law (Official Gazette MNE, No. 80/05 from 28/12/2005), which is entirely compliant with the EU directives concerning projects impact assessment on the environment, projects aimed at defence (under which projects and activities that are implemented for the military needs are implied) are subjected to the procedure of environmental impact assessment.  It is not necessary to get the environmental approval of the Environmental Protection Agency for the mentioned activities. Activities like the destruction of the military weapons should definitely be done under the control of authorised institutions.
