AFTER THE CALM

Increased seismic activity in Montenegro and the region

After a calm of 20 years, there has been a period of increased seismic activity in Montenegro and the countries of the region, seismologist Marin Chavelish told the TVCG morning program.

"It is good that the energy is being discharged. We had a calm after the earthquake in 1979. In fact, the entire region, Montenegro and Italy, had a very pronounced seismic activity, and then there was a calm," Chavelish said.

He then recalls the earthquakes in Italy about ten years ago, as well as the earthquake in Albania last year.

"We must not forget the earthquake in Plav and Gusinje from the beginning of 2018, which was, conditionally speaking, a devastating earthquake, because it left material damage in buildings. There is also an earthquake in Zagreb this year," recalls Chavelish.

Therefore, he says, it can be said that after a period of calm of 20 years, there was a period of some increased seismic activity.
