Months-long tensions over a small hydropwer plant on Mt. Stara Planina in Serbia have culminated. Residents of the village of Topli Do have clashed with security and workers accompanying investor Dragan Josić in an attempt to start the construction of the plant. The incident made the investor to pull out of the project.
