BiH Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Minister Staša Košarac has confirmed that BiH Foreign Minister Bisera Turković refused to consent to Minister Košarac heading BiH’s delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s annual conference, which will be held from September 20 to 24 in Vienna.
Košarac said, “Since Turković will be participating in the UN General Assembly in New York during this gathering, my Office has launched an initiative to head the BiH delegation as the minister responsible for energy at the BiH level, at an event where we can express our strong opposition to the construction of disputed landfill on Trgovska Gora.”
According to him, this move by the current foreign minister in the Council of Ministers is the last in a series of obstructions in its efforts to solve the issue of radioactive waste and spent nuclear landfill construction on Trgovska Gora near the BiH border.
He reiterates the position that Trgovska Gora must not be the subject of politicization, as a possible landfill for radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel will endanger the health of 250,000 residents and the environment.
