Expert warns against wind farm experiments in eastern Slovakia's Zemplín region

An expert has cautioned against establishing wind farms in the Zemplín region of eastern Slovakia, arguing the area already bears a heavy ecological burden and should not be subjected to further environmental experiments. The expert emphasized that the region is not merely empty space between villages, suggesting the area has ecological value that should be protected. Zemplín, located in Slovakia's easternmost region near the borders with Ukraine and Hungary, has historically faced environmental challenges from industrial activities. The warning comes as Slovakia considers expanding renewable energy infrastructure to meet EU climate targets, with wind energy being promoted as a key component of the country's green transition strategy.
