The dam at Rosia Montana is stable and, at this moment, we have no signal that would aggravate the existing situation, declared, on Tuesday, in a press conference, the Minister of Environment, Water and Forests, Barna Tanczos.
"At Rosia Montana, the teams are still working. Yesterday we had an inspection by the specialists from ABA Mures who came and did a scan with high-performance installations to see in what condition the dam body is. At the moment there is no aggravation of the situation. The pumps are functional and today they will be relocated to allow the water level to be reduced to the level established together with the Emergency Service," said Barna Tanczos, told Agerpres.
