Sunshine, whitewater, flotilla, beer running and live ska music, we made an epic weekend celebrating the Soča and Učja rivers, telling $€NG to cancel plans to dam them.
For many years SENG refused interviews with Slovenian national radio and TV on the topic of damming the upper Soča and Učja rivers. They broke their silence one day before our flotilla with a public statement saying they will go ahead with their plans and that they hope the public does not fall for the words of Rok Rozman.
Big business publicly naming a member of the BRD team?! People having fun, paddling and partying in defence of the rivers they love?! This is how we do it. This is how we get people listening and this is how we start making changes.
Flotilla and BRT3 PreParty in numbers:
- 300 FLOTILLA PARTICIPANTS from 23 countries
- 308 SIGNATURES on an open letter to SENG
- 50 RACERS in the first Beer Mile in Slovenija
- 1000+ Bevog BEERS consumed
We won’t stop fighting for these stunning rivers and we won’t stop having fun while doing it!

Sonce, divja voda, flotilla, beer mile in čisto zakon ska muzika! Skupaj nam je uspelo ustvariti hudo dober vikend; ne samo, da smo praznovali na in ob Soči in Učji, $€NG-u smo odločno dali vedeti, da je skrajni čas za umik absurdnih planov za jezove v Posočju.
SENG se od leta 2011ni odzival na vabila naravovarstvenih organizacij in medijev, da bi podali izjavo o planiranih jezovih. Tokrat so prekinili molk dan pred našo flotillo z izjavo za javnost, v kateri so odločno povedali, da gredo naprej s plani za izgradnjo MHE na Učji. Dodali so, da upajo da javnost ne bo nasedla besedam Roka Rozmana.
Veliko podjetje javno poimenuje člana ekipe BRD?! Ljudje branijo reke, ki jih ljubijo z veslanjem in zabavo?! Ja, tak je naš način. Tako pripravimo ljudi do tega, da nas poslušajo in tako se začnejo spremembe.
BRT3 Pre-Party v številkah:
- 300 VESLAČEV iz 23 držav na flotilli
- 308 PODPISOV odprtega pisma SENG-u
- 50 TEKMOVALCEV na prvem Beer Mile-u v Sloveniji
- 1000 + popitih BEVOG PIROV
Ne bomo se ustavili, še naprej se bomo borili za te prelepe reke in ob tem se bomo imeli noro fajn!
