Bern Convention to investigate hydropower damage to the upper Neretva River in Bosnia and Herzegovina

December 3, 2021

Bosnia and Herzegovina will be subject to a fact-finding mission for its failure to protect the upper Neretva river from eight planned hydropower plants, following a decision taken by the Standing Committee of the Bern Convention (1) today. The Convention’s decision comes in response to a complaint submitted by environmental organisations last year.
