EGP stand with Serbian Greens in calling protection for 600-year old oak
Body:
The European Green Party (EGP) have reacted with disappointment to reports that a 600-year old oak tree in the village of Savinac faces being chopped down, so that authorities can build a highway. Noting the important work that Zeleni Srbije, the Serbian Green party, have done to draw attention to the issue, Secretary General of the EGP Jacqueline Cremers says: "The fact that plans for this highway were drawn up without taking vital local environmental concerns into account is unacceptable."
