Boskov Most was one of 18 hydropower greenfield projects planned by the North Macedonian government in the Mavrovo National Park.

The EBRD has a specific mandate to promote transition to a market economy and to ensure environmental sustainability in all its operations.

We believe the bank should not support them.
