ECE/CEP/162 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No E.10.II.E.18 ISBN: 978-92-1-117036-8 ISSN 1020-4563 Copyright © United Nations, 2011 All rights reserved iii FOREWORD Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) for countries with economies in transition were initiated by Environment Ministers at the second Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1993. Subsequently, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Committee on Environmental Policy decided to make the EPRs part of its regular programme. The first cycle of reviews that began in 1994 covered 23 countries from the UNECE region and was carried out until 2004. At the fifth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference (Kiev, 2003), the Ministers affirmed their support for the EPR Programme, in particular as an important instrument for countries with economies in transition, and decided that the Programme should continue with a second cycle of reviews. This support was reconfirmed at the sixth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference (Belgrade, 2007). This second cycle, while assessing the progress made since the first review process, puts particular emphasis on implementation, integration, financing and the socio-economic interface with the environment. Through the peer review process, EPRs also promote dialogue among UNECE member States and the harmonization of environmental conditions and policies throughout the region. As a voluntary exercise, EPRs are undertaken only at the request of the countries concerned. The studies are carried out by international teams of experts from the UNECE region, working closely with national experts from the reviewed country. The teams also benefit from close cooperation with other organizations in the United Nations system, for instance the United Nations Development Programme, as well as with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and other organizations. This is the second EPR of Bosnia and Herzegovina to be published by UNECE. The review takes stock of the progress made by Bosnia and Herzegovina in the management of its environment since the country was first reviewed in 2004. It assesses the implementation of the recommendations contained in the first review (Annex I). This second EPR also covers nine issues of importance to Bosnia and Herzegovina related to policymaking, planning and implementation, the financing of environmental policies and projects, and the integration of environmental concerns into economic sectors, in particular the sustainable management and protection of water resources, waste management, climate change, and forestry, biodiversity and protected areas. I hope that this second EPR will be useful in supporting policymakers and representatives of civil society in their efforts to improve environmental management and to further promote sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that the lessons learned from the peer review process will also benefit other countries of the UNECE region. Ján Kubiš Executive Secretary Economic Commission for Europe v PREFACE The second Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of Bosnia and Herzegovina began in January 2010 with a preparatory mission. During this mission, the final structure of the report was discussed and established. A review mission took place from 24 May until 3 June 2010. The team of international experts taking part included experts from Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands and Russian Federation, as well as from the secretariats of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The draft EPR report was submitted to Bosnia and Herzegovina for comment and to the Expert Group on Environmental Performance for consideration in October 2010. During its meeting on 29 October 2010, the Expert Group discussed the report in detail with expert representatives of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing in particular on the conclusions and recommendations made by the international experts. The Expert Group decided to address those recommendations of the first EPR of Bosnia and Herzegovina that were still valid in two different ways. If a chapter from the first EPR was also covered in the second EPR, then valid recommendations and their conclusions from the former would be reflected at the end of the respective chapter in the latter. If a first EPR chapter however was not covered in the second EPR, valid recommendations would be mentioned in Annex I-A “Valid Recommendations from the first Environmental Performance Review not covered in preceding chapters”. The remaining first EPR recommendations that had been implemented partially or fully would be covered in Annex I-B “Implementation of the recommendations of the first Environmental Performance Review”. The EPR recommendations, with suggested amendments from the Expert Group, were then submitted for peer review to the Committee on Environmental Policy on 2 November 2010. A high-level delegation from Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the peer review. The Committee adopted the recommendations as set out in this report. The Committee on Environmental Policy and the UNECE review team would like to thank the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its experts who worked with the international experts and contributed their knowledge and assistance. UNECE wishes the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina further success in carrying out the tasks involved in meeting its environmental objectives, including the implementation of the recommendations contained in this second review. UNECE would also like to express its deep appreciation to the Governments of Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland for their financial contributions; to the Governments of Germany and the Netherlands for having delegated their experts for the review; and, to UNEP and the United Nations Development Programme for their support of the EPR Programme and this review.

DASHI, launched by WWF in 2011, aims to reduce the adverse impacts of hydropower development in the Western Balkans and to promote good practices in the region. The Initiative focuses on the protection of the region’s most precious freshwater ecosystems, in particular Ramsar wetlands such as Livanjsko Polje and Hutovo Blato in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lake Skadar shared by Albania and Montenegro. HYDROPOWER NEWS FROM THE REGION WWF reveals the undiscovered world of Dinarides Through the Dinaric Arc Parks project (www.discoverdinarides.com) WWF urges the region and the world to discover the “undiscovered world of Dinarides.” The largest canyon in the world after the canyon of the Colorado River; the oldest and largest rainforest in Europe; meadows with more orchid species than there are in the whole UK; the largest and longest gorge in Europe ... all this is hiding in the Dinaric Arc region! Inspired by all these amazing facts, the creative agency Leo Burnett in Croatia designed a media campaign to promote the brand “Parks Dinarides” which can be seen from April in numerous newspapers, internet portals and on many TV stations throughout the region. www.discoverdinarides.com Energy Strategy for the “The current energy strategy for the Balkans is not in line with European Western Balkans environmental standards” (Jelko Kacin, EP MP) In February, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament (AFET) held a public debate on the energy strategy of the European Energy Community for the countries of the western Balkans, chaired by MP Jelko Kacin.

    BOSNIA FORESTRY PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized IMPACT OF FOREST TRUCK ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN REPUBLIKA SRPSKA (EIA Study) Public Disclosure Authorized Banja Luka, August 2001 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized I 'FILECO'pY1 e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction and background This report represents the summary on environment impact assessment of forest road construction, within Forestry project in BiH financed by World Bank. Funds for road construction should be taken from remaining funds under IDA. Roads and locations, for which projects are elaborated, are as follows: 1. "Brankusa - section 115" in SFE "Ostrelj - Drinic" - Drinic 2. "Maksimovica potok" in SFE "telinac" - Celinac 3. "Mala Inova" in SFE "Borja" - Teslic 4. "Livade - Bad" in SFE "Maglic" - Srbinje 5. "Sipasno - Zlatac - Lokve" in SFE "Botin" - Nevesinje EIA studies are elaborated for all roads. These studies are about justification of road construction from aspect of positive, but also negative applications on the environment. Studies and executive summary have been elaborated by: 1. Mr Zoran Govedar and 2. Dipi. Ing. Ljubo Maric The Government of Republic of Srpska, by construction of new forest roads in mentioned SFEs, intends to influence on increasing of road infrastructure and openness of the forests. In that way the costs will be reduced and working efficiency increased in the most expensive phase of forest exploitation, which is skidding of wood assortments (transportation phase). Besides that road construction would increase other operational capacities in SFEs regarding protection, regeneration and nursering of forests, as well as other common useful forest functions (tourism, recreation, hunting, collection of secondary forest products and others).

[krijelj 2, S. \ug 2 Summary The first detailed investigation of Gastropods in the basin of river Fojni~ka has been carried out in 2001 –2002. The material has been sam - pled five times during four seasons (October 2001 –September 2002) at 11 sites in the following waterways: the rivers Fojni~ka, Draga~a, @eljeznica, Kre{evka and Lepenica. Measurement of certain physical and chemical parameters (BOD 5, water temperature, pH value, amount of dissolved ox- ygen, saturation with oxygen and one time measurement of concentration of nitrates and phosphates) has been carried out together with collecting of macroinvertebrates of zoobenthos. Since the knowledge of biodiversity of Gastropods in Bosnia and Herzegovina is at the very low level, the main objective of this paper is to give an overview of distribution of Gas- tropods communities in the Fojni~ka river basin. In these investigations, 11 taxa of Gastropods and 1468 individuals have been determined. The Gastropods made 16% of total settlement of macroinvertebrates of zoobenthos. Dominant species at investigated sites was Ancylus fluviatilis , while species Acicula sp. , Saxurinator sp . and Valvata piscinalis were just sporadically recorded.

Tipovi monitoringa Kako bi se u što većoj mjeri, ispunili zahtjevi Okvirne direktive o vodama, monitoring mreža kvaliteta voda vodotoka Republike Srpske je revidovana u 2007. godini na osnovu kriterijumima uspostavlјenih u okviru Međunarodne komisije za zaštitu rijeke Dunav. Novi pristup, u skladu sa zahtjevima Okvirne direktive o vodama, značio je sprovođenje monitoringa: - kao nadzorni (na nivou Republike Srpske i međunarodni), - operativni - i istraživački. Potrebno je naglasiti da su svi mjerni profili uklјučeni u nadzorni monitoring, istovremeno obuhvaćeni i operativnim monitoringom, kako bi se, u što kraćem vremenskom roku, omogućilo prikuplјanje većeg broja podataka koji bi osigurali veću pouzdanost pri ocjeni statusa/potencijala za potrebe izrade narednog plana upravlјanja.
