The winemakers initiated a moratorium on construction to protect the vineyards near the Lake Balaton

In order to preserve vineyards, a moratorium on construction was initiated by the winemakers at the outskirts of the northern shore of Lake Balaton on Monday. The call was made by three Balaton organizations, the Balatoni Kör, the Csopaki Kódex and the Rizling Generáció.

According to the signatories, the change of landscape is irreversible at the Lake Balaton and a process leading to the mid-term devaluation of real estates next to the lake is taking place. (MTI)
