BiH Foreign Trade and Economic Minister Stasa Kosarac told Croatia’s Environment and Energy Minister Tuesday that Croatia’s intention to dispose nuclear waste near the border with BiH is “utterly unacceptable” and this is the common stance of all levels of authorities in BiH.
He announced that Bosnia would form a team of experts who will be dealing with this open issue and said he would insist on the Espoo Convention, which sets out the obligations to assess the environmental impact of certain activities at an early stage of planning.
Kosarac expressed hope the issue would be solved in a diplomatic manner, but if Croatia keeps on insisting on the same location, Bosnia will initiate an international arbitral dispute, he underlined.
