The minister said that a policy has been introduced under which skalians are no longer permitted on rivers. \u201cWe no longer tolerate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Firm action has been taken in recent years and of the more than 20 skalians, only three or four now remain. According to him, it was very difficult to communicate with the owners of the skalians, and at one point the ministry had no other choice than to involve the Openbaar Ministerie (Public Prosecution Service). \u201cThe OM acts in its own way and the <a href=\"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/skalians-niet-meer-actief-op-rivieren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skalians<\/a> have been destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So there are no longer any skalians active on the rivers, and the ministry continues to closely monitor the situation.
