Corrective Measures
Current conservation issues

The Bureau recalled that the Committee, at its last session, noted that the authorities responsible for the management of this site are of the view that the proposed construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Tara River and the pollution of the River by an asphalt dam situated upstream had minimal impacts on the conservation of Durmitor National Park. The Bureau acknowledged the fact that the Montenegro authorities had invited a UNESCO/IUCN mission to the site and that this mission should be undertaken as early as possible in order to ensure the conservation of this World Heritage site.

In view of Resolution 757 of the UN Security Council, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre is still unable to proceed with the organization of the UNESCO/IUCN mission to Durmitor National Park.
