Regional authorities and residents are mounting opposition to plans for a new waste incineration plant in Bratislava, which would be located near Žitný ostrov, a major Danube River island. The controversy is part of three significant environmental disputes currently affecting Slovakia, including debates over a power plant situated above drinking water sources and forest management issues in the Horehroní region. The proposed incinerator has sparked concerns about potential environmental impacts on one of Europe's largest river islands, which serves as an important agricultural area and groundwater source for the capital region.
