SARAJEVO, Bosnia (April 16,2008) - A member of the Bosnian Parliament's House of Peoples Slobodan Saraba has stated that the Bosnian government should immediately solve the issue of distribution of electricity generated by the Trebisnjica hydro power station with Croatia, through the Bosnian-Croatian interstate council.
He said that, the Bosnia should sue Croatia for stealing electricity if no solution is found by mid 2009.
According to an agreement Bosnia and Croatia signed in 1965, 78 per cent of electricity from the Trebisnjica power system should go to Bosnia, and 22 per cent to Croatia, on the basis of their respective investments. However, Saraba argues, in 1993 Croatia built a separate unit within the Dubrovnik power station, and the previous distribution deal therefore became invalid.
He claims that Bosnia suffered damage worth 200 million Bosnian Marks (160 million USD) in the past years because of this.
