Mojkovac

The town at the head of the Tara canyon — a medieval silver mine, a 1916 battlefield, and the river everyone now comes to raft.

Mojkovac je slikovit planinski grad smješten u dolini rijeke Tare, između popularnih turističkih područja Kolašina i Žabljaka. Grad zauzima ponosno mjesto u crnogorskoj istoriji kao poprište Mojkovačke bitke 1916. godine, prelomnog okršaja u Prvom svjetskom ratu u kojem su crnogorske snage herojski izdržale — događaja koji se obilježava svakog januara i odaje mu se počast kod gradskog spomenika. Najveće prirodno bogatstvo Mojkovca jeste njegova blizina Nacionalnom parku Biogradska gora, domu jedne od posljednjih preostalih prašuma u Evropi i zadivljujućeg ledničkog Biogradskog jezera. Skijanje, planinarenje, rafting i brdski biciklizam dostupni su iz ovog gostoljubivog, pristupačnog grada koji služi kao izvrsna baza za istraživanje planinskog srca Crne Gore.

The town lost people faster than every village but Prošćenje. Only Uroševina and Brskovo gained — and Brskovo is the name on the mining concession.

Mojkovac je mali grad na gornjoj Tari na sjeveru Crne Gore, na oko 800 m, između Kolašina i Bijelog Polja. Od Podgorice je oko sat i po, a leži i na glavnom sjevernom putu i na pruzi Beograd–Bar.

Šta se dogodilo u Mojkovačkoj bici?

U januaru 1916. crnogorska vojska je ovdje, kroz dva dana borbe u dubokom snijegu, zadržala mnogo brojniju austrougarsku silu i pokrila povlačenje srpske vojske preko Albanije. Bitka je čvrsta tačka nacionalnog pamćenja, obilježena spomenikom iznad grada.

Šta je bilo Brskovo?

Srednjovjekovni rudarski grad odmah izvan Mojkovca, u kojem su od 13. vijeka saksonski rudari vadili srebro i olovo. Bio je među najvećim rudnicima srednjovjekovnog Balkana i imao je vlastitu kovnicu novca. Danas stoji malo toga, ali je lokalitet označen.

Je li Mojkovac dobar za rafting?

Jedno je od uobičajenih polazišta. Pravi kanjon Tare počinje nizvodno, a organizatori odavde vode ture kroz gornje dionice. Proljećna voda od topljenja snijega najbrža je; kasno ljeto je blaže i pogodnije za porodice.

Šta se još može raditi?

Nacionalni park Biogradska gora, sa svojom prašumom i jezerom, kratka je vožnja na jug. Bjelasica se diže odmah iza grada, za šetnju ljeti i skijanje zimi, a u Tari se lovi pastrmka.

Vrijedi li odsjesti u Mojkovcu?

To je praktična i jeftina baza za Taru i Bjelasicu prije nego odredište. Sobe koštaju manje nego u Kolašinu nekoliko kilometara dalje, a iste planine i raftinške dionice jednako su nadohvat.

Ima li aerodrom u Mojkovcu?

Ne — najbliži je aerodrom Podgorica (TGD), 105 km putem.

Mojkovac – Podgorica: koliko je kilometara?

80,4 km putem, oko 1 h 29 min vožnje.

Koliko je bezbjedno u Mojkovcu?

Britansko Ministarstvo inostranih poslova (FCDO) nema upozorenje protiv putovanja u Crnu Goru; svoje smjernice je posljednji put revidiralo 13. avgusta 2026.

Popis stanovništva, opština Mojkovac

Two in five people have left in twenty years: 4,120 in the town in 2003, 2,506 in 2023. The lead and zinc mine that built modern Mojkovac opened in 1966 and closed in the 1990s, and the census has been recording the consequences ever since.

U svjetskoj štampi

Since 2010 the news out of Mojkovac has been one question: dig again, or not.

2010
RFE/RL the old Brskovo tailings beside the Tara are finally capped, twenty years after the mine stopped, at a cost of €10 million.
2016
RFE/RL the concession passes to the Swiss company Tara Resources; North Mining had held it since 2010.
2019
Tara Resources publishes a Preliminary Economic Assessment for reopening Brskovo as a zinc, lead and copper mine.
2021
Tara Resources a Pre-Feasibility Study follows; the company puts capital investment at about €180 million, with 550 direct jobs once the mine runs.
2023
RFE/RL €25 million already spent, some 700 jobs promised during construction and 450 direct after — against two planned tailings ponds almost five times the size of the one just cleaned up.

Local citizens’ groups oppose the reopening. Tara Resources says the feasibility study and permitting are still in progress.

U međuvremenu — 1916

The year the valley held the line

Mojkovac, 6–7 January 1916: about 6,500 Montenegrins under Serdar Janko Vukotić, with 25 guns and eight machine guns, meet some 20,000 Austro-Hungarian troops with 45 guns. The order is to hold the road while the Serbian army completes its retreat through Albania to the Adriatic.
The count — the attack fails. Montenegrin losses are put at 205 killed, wounded and missing, Austro-Hungarian at about 700, of them 224 dead. The Berane–Andrijevica–Mojkovac line holds until 18 January, when the Montenegrins withdraw.
Fifty years on, in 1966 a lead and zinc mine opens at Brskovo — the industry that builds the modern town, and closes again in the 1990s, leaving its tailings on the bank of the Tara.
Meanwhile in 1916 — Verdun opens in February and the Somme in July; the war that made a road junction in the Montenegrin mountains matter is grinding through its worst year.

Glasovi

“The courage of the Montenegrin soldier has no equal in the history of wars. Here you could see the Montenegrin soldier attacking the enemy’s bayonets with his bare hands.”

Generalmajor Wilhelm von Reinöhl, an Austro-Hungarian commander at Mojkovac

Quoted in standard accounts of the Battle of Mojkovac, 6–7 January 1916 (English Wikipedia, Battle of Mojkovac).

“Moj kovani novac — my minted coin.”

Lokalni tanjir

Kačamak with kajmak

The north’s staple: maize and potato beaten together with cheese and kajmak. Sinjajevina above the town is the largest pasture in the Balkans — 120,000 hectares carrying some 200,000 sheep in summer — so the dairy on the plate has come a short way.
