Zamenik gradonačelnika Užica napao aktiviste zbog izlivanja otrovnog taloga na deponiji Duboko, inspektori pobegli
Na deponiji „Duboko“ kod Užica juče je došlo do ispuštanja izuzetno otrovnog koncentrovanog taloga u sliv reke Lužnice. Vest o tome prvo su objavili ekološki aktivisti koji su se pojavili ispred ulaza u deponiju, ali umesto odgovora šta se dogodilo, kako tvrde, fizički ih je napao zamenik gradonačelnika Užica Rajko Radosavljević.
