SARAJEVO, October 4 (FENA) - Bosnia and Herzegovina has an obligation to protect Trgovska Gora, where the Republic of Croatia plans to build radioactive nuclear waste disposal. Therefore, it is necessary to form an expert and legal team as soon as possible, which will use all the mechanisms, conventions and protocols of the European Union on cross-border cooperation, and oppose the location of the landfill construction.
This was said at a round table entitled "Trgovska gora: the current situation from the point of view of professionals". MPs in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH Saša Magazinović and Jasmin Emrić, and a representative of the BiH Regulatory Agency for Radiation Safety and Nuclear Safety Emir Dizdarević were participants of the round table.
Magazinović stated that activities are still being carried out in Croatia on the construction of a plant at the location of Trgovska gora and that a team has already been selected to prepare an environmental impact study, which is an important step for Croatia to achieve its intention.
Magazinović stressed that there is political unity in BiH to solve the problem, the state has the capacity, experts, but the problem is that a legal and expert team has not yet been formed to solve the problem and that the BiH Council of Ministers has not yet made that decision.
The risks of building radioactive nuclear waste disposal are big, because, as Dizdarevic said, waste dating back to 1984 would be stored in the warehouse until 2023. Contaminated material generated by the use of the Krško nuclear power plant would be stored there as well.
MP Jasmin Emrić also emphasized that it is a huge risk for people and the environment to live next to a nuclear plant. He believes that it is unfair to build such a landfill in that region, which will have permanent negative consequences.
Also, he added, the residents of Dvor (Croatia) are against the construction of the landfill, and the Republic of Croatia currently does not have the consent of the local community, Dvor Municipality to build a Center for Radioactive and Nuclear Waste, which is one of the conditions for building the center.
