Association for entrepreneurship and business LiNK from Mostar, Local democracy agency (LDA) Mostar and Centre for development of Herzegovina (CRH) from Trebinje organised a Final Conference of “People Organise Prevention of Water Overflow” Project in Hotel Ero in Mostar.
Municipalities of Trebinje, Ljubinje, Ravno and Čapljina as well as representatives of Elektroprivreda (Electricity company) Republike Srpske, Hydro Power plant Trebišnjica, Elektroprivreda HZ H-B, Agency for the Trebišnjica River waters’ basin, Agency for the Adriatic waters’ basin and representatives of non-governmental organisations and the entrepreneurs who were the beneficiaries of the Project, took wider involvement in the Project.
Speaking of the Project, Mr Andrija Šimunović, Mayor of Ravno Municipality, said that every initiative, including this present one, represents something that would encourage resolution of pressing problems on the territory of Popovo polje, that is to say, municipalities that gravitate towards it.
“The main problem in the entire system, in the sense of flooding of Popovo polje and its surfaces, is the lack of co-ordination between the competent institutions, in this case, lack of co-ordination between competent agencies, and with that, competent electricity companies. The highest responsibility for this issue rests with those that manage the water, and in this case, that is Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske via its Hydro Power plant. I believe that the solution to this problem is harmonisation of work of the whole system through competent agencies, and with that harmonisation of work of hydro- energy facilities, which are part of both electricity companies”, said Mr Šimunović.
The Project is jointly implemented by the mentioned organisations, in the total value of € 114.200. The European Union secured 89,62% through the line for democratisation and human rights EIDHR, while the Norwegian Embassy in BiH provided the reminder of 10,38% of the total project value.
