The Assembly of Novi Pazar adopted a declaration prohibiting all forms of mineral extraction, including gold ore deposits near the city center (N1info.rs). This historic decision was passed unanimously by both ruling parties and political opponents who previously clashed over resource exploitation issues at Niš's assembly hall on March 18. Although opposition leaders had initially proposed stricter measures to halt mining activities in specific areas of Novi Pazar, they ultimately agreed with the government that a comprehensive ban is necessary for regional stability (Juznevesti).
