BANJA LUKA, September 15 (FENA) – BiH Foreign Minister Igor Crnadak will lead the BiH delegation at the 53rd General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna from September 16 and reiterate that BiH is against the disposal of nuclear waste at location of Trgovska gora, close to the BiH border.
"We will make it clear once again that we cannot allow nuclear waste to be disposed of at the BiH border," Crnadak said, adding that all levels of government in BiH are cooperating on this issue and that he would speak with the Mayor of Novi Grad, Miroslav Drljač tomorrow, as well as with Minister for Physical Planning, Engineering and Ecology of RS Srebrenka Golić.
It is estimated that the disposal of nuclear waste would directly endanger several hundred thousand people living in nine municipalities along the Una River.
Crnadak told reporters at a press conference in Banja Luka that he believes Croatia will be pressured to reconsider other solutions for disposal of the nuclear waste besides Trgovska gora. He added that the country has not yet definitely decided what to do.
Referring to the SDA Declaration adopted yesterday, he said that its implementation would endanger peace and stability not only in BiH, but also in the Balkans and this part of Europe.
He expects a reaction from the international community, because the Declaration is against mutual understanding, trust and any agreement.
