Developments: 2. A dispute has emerged between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding a proposed radioactive waste disposal center at the Čerkezovac site near Trgovska Gora. A scientific study by the University of Banja Luka, published in the journal ‘Sustainability’, identified significant concerns regarding ecological injustice. The research found that over 80% of surveyed residents in Bosnian border communities believe the site selection process is non-transparent and exclusionary, and they support the right to participate in decision-making despite being located outside the country making the formal decisions. Diplomatic and procedural tensions have since escalated during environmental impact assessment sessions. Representatives from the Republic of Srpska Ministry of Spatial Planning, Construction and Ecology have criticized the consultation process, alleging that invitations to the Bosnian delegation were ‘pro forma’ and that they were provided insufficient time and materials to prepare. While the project is managed by the Fund for Decommissioning and Radioactive Waste Disposal of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, Bosnian officials have challenged the assessment that cross-border environmental impacts would be ‘negligible or very small.’ ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: Radioactive waste disposal project sparks dispute between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia Bosnia and Herzegovina officials have criticized Croatia's environmental assessment process for a proposed radioactive waste center near Trgovska Gora, citing inadequate preparation and limited representation. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/radioactive-waste-disposal-project-sparks-dispute-between-bosnia-and-herzegovina-and-croatia ### 2026-09-25: Trgovska Gora nuclear waste study highlights ecological injustice A scientific study published in ‘Sustainability’ highlights ecological injustice concerns regarding a planned nuclear waste site on Trgovska Gora near the border of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/trgovska-gora-nuclear-waste-study-highlights-ecological-injustice --- Cite as: Trgovska Gora radioactive waste dispute.
