Due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 virus and restrictions set to limit the spread of the virus, we had to cancel the sampling trip and educational workshop in Popovo polje and the area around Trebinje, planned for the third week of March 2020. Even though this will delay some of the project’s activities, it is of crucial importance that the team members stay healthy and safe, and that the regulations given by the local governments are being followed. We continue the activities that can be implemented despite the travelling restrictions.
