In late 1990s and early 2000s, exploitation rights on the lake were under a multilateral dispute by the local community, the City of Novi Sad, the mining company Alas registered in Rakovac, which owned the quarry exploitation rights, and the public company guiding the National park of Fruška Gora. Due to frequent incoherent court and municipality decisions, the lake was at threat of disappearing at a moment, because the mining company required to be back in possession, and the lake was deemed unsafe due to possible water breakthrough. The rumours in 2006 that the rights for the continuing use of quarry were sold to a certain Austrian firm were repudiated by the National park of Fruška Gora management, saying that Assembly of Vojvodina already adopted a plan to keep the lake. Ultimately, the disputes ended in favor of retaining the lake, which is an attraction of the national park, and making it a tourist resort.
