Kadirić: Tourism under major threat due to potential nuclear waste disposal site

FENA Press release

BIHAĆ, July 26 (FENA) - Minister of Economy in the Una-Sana Canton Government (USC) Nijaz Kadirić issued a press statement today on the occasion of a public debate on the Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Tourism in the USC, warning of the multiple negative impacts that the possible construction of radioactive waste disposal site by Croatia just on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina could have on tourism in the canton.

“The Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Tourism should unblock the work of the USC Tourism Board. Many are very interested to express their views, especially regarding the said problem, the announced construction of a nuclear radioactive waste disposal site in Trgovska gora. Citizens are becoming ever louder about it, saying that all of this has become a nightmare and that it is unacceptable for the nuclear disposal site to be at that location,” says Kadirić.

The opinion is that tourism in this region would definitely be compromised and can be completely destroyed by the construction of the landfill.

“We must not forget that in the USC area we have protected natural areas that we need to cherish and guard, that we have unprecedented natural beauties, but also multiple events of an international and traditional character that ensure the building of a positive image for which we are working very hard to achieve and maintain. It is neither neighborly nor humane to destroy what God has given to us, and what we all can use together,” he underlined.

Minister Kadirić recalls that the USC Tourism Board cannot deal with all problems on its own and that all that have the capacity, expertise or in some other way must help, including the engagement of the citizens.
