After the Sanski Most Municipal Council rescinded its approval and called for the revocation of Lager's mining concession, cantonal and federal ministries confirmed that the company is operating within legal parameters, dismissing any grounds for cancelling the concession. Despite this, Lager’s activities continue to impact local communities negatively, polluting water sources, breaching its own concession agreements, and exceeding its authorised operations. Residents of nearby villages, who declined to sell their land to the mining company, are now left to defend their property independently.
