The Ministry of Environmental Protection has issued a decision granting an integrated permit to the operator PUC “Regionalna deponija Pirot” in Pirot, for the operation of the first phase of the installation and carrying out of activities involving the disposal, mechanical treatment and temporary storage of non-hazardous municipal waste.

The draft integrated permit for the regional sanitary municipal waste landfill was prepared within the framework of the IED Serbia project, in cooperation with the competent authority.
