ENERGO: Bosnia urges EU to block Croatia’s plan to build radioactive waste storage

Bosnia & Herzegovina’s Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Minister Stasa Kosarac said he has requested a meeting with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to object to Croatia's plan to build a storage facility for radioactive waste on the border with Bosnia.

Plans for the nuclear facility at the former army barracks in Trgovska Gora, less than 1 km from the River Una, have caused tensions for years. Critics of the plan claim the disposal of nuclear waste there would endanger the river and the lives of the 250,000 people living in the area.

In a letter sent to local media, Kosarac said that Croatia “violates European regulations and standards” with the selection of the site.
