1 Introduction

1.1 Background The project for "Support to the Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin" extends within the three riparian states of BiH (FBiH and RS), Montenegro and Serbia. The World Bank awarded the project to the Joint Venture (JV) Consultant comprising COWI AS of Norway as lead together with JV partners Stucky Limited from Switzerland and Jaroslav Černi Institute (JCI) from Serbia. A World Bank contract (Contract No 8005176) to provide support to the Water Resources Management (WRM) of the Drina River Basin (DRB) was awarded in September 2014. The Lead Consultant is also supported by three Sub Consultants, the Consultant "Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe - REC" with headquarters based in Hungary, the Consultant "CEStra" based in Belgrade and the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Belgrade (FCS-UBG).

The overarching objective of the project is to support more effective water resources management in DRB taking into consideration sustainable water use, flood mitigation and environmental management, while involving stakeholder consultations to ensure adequate public participation. This approach supports water management authorities in preparation of investment plans, strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and the river basin management plans.

The Project commenced in October 2014 with the Inception Phase (October – November 2014), however it was very evident at the beginning that the project would need more time in order to answer the TOR requirements and to reach all relevant stakeholders in three riparian countries. The Project was therefore extended a total of 2 times until December 2017.

The Inception Report was prepared and presented at an Inception Workshop on 1st December 2014 that was held in Zagreb. The final version of the Inception Report was submitted in English in February 2015. Following minor amendments, the World Bank and the Steering Committee subsequently approved the Inception Report in March 2015 and a local language version was prepared and distributed in May 2015. Based on the request of the BiH stakeholders the inception report was additionally modified with more accurate data for BiH in April 2017.

Figure 1: Main Deliverables and Project Timeline

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 2

Following inception, all subsequent reports for the project Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin as presented on the Figure 1 have been developed. The individual country report on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and on Investment Prioritisation Framework (IPF) have been prepared and presented to the stakeholders. One report integrated the findings for all three riparian countries has been published as Roof Report and is now in final version. It is a high-level document summarizing the main results of the project in a concise and synthetic view for the whole Drina River Basin and not from individual country optics. This Roof Report emphasis the main issues and baselines retained in the study, harmonised at the DRB level in order to help for a sustainable water resources management.

As one of the important outputs from the project is also development of the Public consultation report which is a document in hand and which the consultation process should be presented, with special attention to the last presentations of main deliverables in all three states and the results of the final public consultation meeting.

1.2 Consultation process According to the Inception report for the project and its communication plan several interactions with different actors have been established: • Stakeholder meetings (initial and follow up meetings) with representatives from ISRBC, State Authorities from the Riparian States, Local Authorities (Municipalities) and NGOs; • Public Meetings with broader public to be involved in the draft reports consultations and to be presented with final reports for clarifications and for knowledge sharing.

A number of interaction channels have been developed and implemented by JV Consultant throughout the project: • public presentations held within the Drina River Basin during different stages of project development for the review and analysis of deliverables like IWRM reports and IPF reports for the three riparian states, Roof Report and WEAP report, • project website available on http://www.wb-drinaproject.com for review and a feedback via the web site, • monthly reports to the Client and the Core stakeholders to provide the summarized information on the project development, • minutes of meetings from different events, presentations and meetings during the development of the project, • minutes/reports from performance of trainings for building of capacities within WEAP model, hydrological model and other models.

This final Public Consultation Report in English and local language provides a summary of the main feedback to the planned Water Resource Management of the Drina River Basin after the final public consultations. The public consultations, organised in all three countries in beginning of July 2017, were the opportunity to discuss the results and findings from already finalised report (like was the case for Montenegro and Serbia IWRM and IPF country reports and for BiH IWRM country report), and to obtain feedbacks and suggestions for the reports which still lack the inputs from stakeholders (like was the case for BiH IPF country report and draft Roof report). Based on the received comments and suggestions one additional Public Consultation was organized on 5th of December 2017 in Belgrade to present the final version of Roof Report and to obtain final reactons from stakeholders from all three countries. The finalPublic Consultation Report presents also the way how to transparently respond to all remarks, suggestions, comments or questions to address appropriately the concern from different stakeholders but

also to remain within limits of TOR, the Contract and the Inception report for Support to the Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin.

1.3 Organisation Based on the agreement with the Focal points for all three riparian countries the first information about the public consultations and their scope was sent already in first half of June 2017. In short letter, it was stated the date of the consultation meeting, the content of the presentations indicating which were already finalized or if they were considered as drafts, the intention of the meeting and request to invite all stakeholders in the project but also wider population and interested citizens to the consultations. It was also indicated that the invitations with detailed agenda and the corresponding reports will be available 10 days in front of the meetings. The invitation letters for all three countries are given in the appendix 7.1 Invitation letters to Focal points, indicating the dates of the meetings in Belgrade (Serbia) on 4th of July 2017, in Sarajevo (BiH) on 5th of July 2017 and in Podgorica (Montenegro) on 6th of July 2017.

In parallel, also all documents were developed by the team in different versions in two languages of the project – English and local. They were uploaded to the project webpage for stakeholders to get familiar and to prepare in advance for the public consultation meetings. There have been different versions of documents prepared for discussion: • Final IPF country report for Montenegro and Serbia (volume 1 and 2, English and local), send to stakeholders and Focal points for their remarks one month before the meeting and with all remarks addressed before publication on webpage;

• IPF country report for Bosnia and Hercegovina – final version for discussion (volume 1 and 2, English and local) - as some differences have been introduced in the document after the meeting in March 2017 based on additional requirements received from one stakeholders and the distributed versions were released just 1 week before the meeting;

• Draft version of Roof report, presented to all for the first time, after approved table of content from Focal points.

The details on the publication of different deliverables can be seen from the project webpage http://www.wb-drinaproject.com/index.php/en/documents. However, it has to be emphasized that some reports (Inception Report, BiH IWRM country report) were modified according to requirements from one BiH stakeholder and in agreement of Focal Point and representative of World Bank. These changes are not seen in the webpage, but can be traced in the minutes from meetings.

Based on the adopted resolutions of the comments, suggestions and proposals, novelation of documents have been developed and published on the project webpage. One additional final meeting was organized in Belgrade on 5th of December 2017 to present the final corrected version of Roof Report (developed as final version for discussion in English and in local language) and to additionaly receive the comments and to support the knowledge sharing for the project. The invitation for the meeting was sent to all stakeholders of the project.

3 Resolution of comments

3.1 Resolutions from meetings in July 2017 As was already presented in the previous chapters all comments and suggestions received during public consultation meetings in all three riparian countries or sent afterwards in written forms by using official channels of national Focal Points were recorded. The resolutions from the meetings in July 2017 are given in the table 3-1 to 3-3 bellow. Based on the status of developed deliverables (final versions for presentation, versions for discussion, draft for comments) the resolutions of the recorded comments are also given in same tables. The IPF country reports had been the subject of specific workshop with stakeholders of the three concerned countries during the period November 2016 – February 2017. Then, the final IPF report had been adapted based on the comments of the stakeholders and they were delivered to the Focal Points for their approval or further comments. Excepted for BiH, Serbia and Montenegro accepted the final version of the IPF reports without additional comments. During the consultation in BiH additional comments have been opened for several reports, namely for IWRM and for IPF BiH country report, by one stakeholder. Consequently, the deliverables were delayed in order to resolve the organizational and content points of the changes. Therefore, the final IPF country report for BiH was presented just before the public consultation meeting and was open also for the comments of stakeholders. The public consultation meetings performed during the 4 to 6 of July 2017 concerned mainly the draft Roof Report for Serbia, BiH and Montenegro as well as the final IPF report for BiH.

All received comments with resolutions are reported in the tables for each country: • Table 3-1: Resolution of received comments for reports in BiH consultation, July 2017 • Table 3-2: Resolution of received comments for reports in Montenegro consultation, July 2017 • Table 3-3: Resolution of received comments for reports in Serbia consultation, July 2017.

Response of the Consultant is addressed in these tables. However, majority of comments for Serbia and Montenegro IPF reports are explained and only for real mistakes or typos, the consultant corrected these already accepted reports. For IPF for BIH the resolutions of comments were in the final version as the BIH IPF country report was developed late (end of June). The final Roof report integrates the comments which are accepted by the Consultant and which correspond to the objective of the project contractual agreement and approved Inception report. The December 2017 meeting in Belgrade also additionally addresses the Roof Report and the collected remarks are given in next chapter.

3.2 Resolutions from meeting in Belgrade in December 2017

As indicated, additional meeting took place after development of new versions of all reports, and after novelation of Roof Report as final. The meeting was agreed and held in Belgrade on 5th of December. It was attended by different stakeholders from all three countries. The minutes were recorded and also opportunity for further comments was provided.

All received comments are given in Table 3-4 Resolution of received comments during meeting in Belgrade, December 2017. The consultant team provided the answers to the comments with the aim to fulfil the expectation of the stakeholders and to improve the reports. However, some comments which were not within the boundary conditions of the project and would be out of ToR, contract and Inception report or would change the previously agreed decisions (recorder in the minutes from meetings) were not taken into account. All responsed are given in Table 3-4.

1600 GW of electric power is very important and good for everyone. These facts tell us that we must have a slightly different approach and create the conditions for building those projects that have a greater social impact. We think that the consultant should further analyse the hydrological changes that had occurred before in order to adequately predict what will happen in the future. Also, logging causes problems related to erosion, so the consultant should also give answers to these questions.

The obezbijede zaštitu ovog područja od implementation of this scenario will hiljadugodišnjih velikih voda. significantly reduce negative effects of climate change in the Drina River Basin in the Republic of Srpska. In order to enable the consultants to define a scenario that would meet the greatest expectations of water management, it is necessary to analyse floods that have occurred in the past period, as well as damages they caused. The following illustrations show the areas exposed to floods, and it can be concluded that the area of the lower Drina river flow is mostly exposed to floods. Throughout the historical period of 120 years this area has been flooded 10

times. Damage from floods in this area in the period 2010-2014 amounted to about EUR 180 million.

If it is known that there are 114,663 inhabitants in the area of Bijeljina and 63,686 inhabitants in the area of Zvornik, then the solution must be sought on how to protect these areas against floods.

In this area, the HPP Drina I and HPP Drina II are planned, which, with their technical solutions, i.e. reservoirs of which are located between the embankments, can provide protection of this area from thousand-year large waters. Pored poplava potrebno bi bilo da konsultant In addition to damages caused by floods, analizira i štete od suša koje su se desile u the consultant should also analyse those proteklom periodu. caused by droughts which have occurred in the past period.

4 Conclusions The public consultations, organized in all three countries, were the opportunity to discuss the results and findings from the drafts and later also from final versions of documents. The meetings also provided possibilities for stakeholders to obtain additional explanations, broader view on the topic, comparisons with similar projects elsewhere and expert opinions on water resources management. In addition, they serve for consultants as a source of valuable information, open challenges and other related issues for which they could propose suitable solutions or recommendations.

The final report on the public consultation includes the summary of all public events intended for all different stakeholders identified in three riparian Drina river countries. It provides the general information on the events, sumirizes the discussions, provides the collected comments and gives the resolutions of the consultant team to the comments. As stated before, many comments were integrated in new version

The interactions with stakeholders and broader public with the number of comments received during the implementation of the project show several important points which are applicable to the project Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin. They can be summarized as:

• Due to a long period of implementation the key stakeholders, also the Focal Points, have been changed in the riparian countries. In addition, also the composition of Consultant team changed. All the changes influenced the project from the management point of view. Therefore, it is recommended that if possible the projects are limited in the extend to certain period.

• The decisions taken during the meetings were often asked to be changed, and different resolutions were taken afterwards with responsible stakeholders, which than prolonged the development of final deliverables. It is suggested that decision- making process should be more strict and defined to avoid time consumption.

• Some stakeholders decided to take part in the project only at later phases and they also open the number of questions which were assumed to be already resolved. Also, as they came late, they were not familiar with boundary conditions for the project. Therefore it is proposed to promote similar projects at the start more intensively to very broad public to avoid delays due to newcomers.

• The time available for reviewing of the reports by the stakeholders was often not taken into account and consequently the remarks and comments were not provided to the Consultant team on time.

It is recommended to take all these findings into account and to invent the countermeasures to mitigate the consequences in the future similar projects. It was also clear that to agree on compromise solutions is sometimes quite difficult in the region which is also burdened with so much historical heritage.

6.2.1 Minutes of Meeting (MOM) BiH, July 2017

Title Presentation of the Final IPF (Investment Prioritisation Framework) Report and Project Roof Report Date July 5, 2017 Time 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Place Sarajevo, conference room of Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Address: Branislava Đurđeva 10, fifth floor)

The main objective of this meeting was to present the final IPF report for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Draft Roof Report. The meeting was attended by key stakeholders of the project: Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (MOFTER), Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Water- Management and Forestry of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FMAWMF), Federal Ministry for the Environment and Tourism of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FMET), Agency for Water Area of Sava River Basin (AWASRB), Federal Hydrometeorological Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FHMI), PC Elektroprivreda BiH, MH Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (MH-ERS), together with project experts and team leader - Ms. Nadja Železnik. Invitation for the meeting for all project key stakeholders in Bosnia and Herzegovina was sent by e-mail and in writing by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (MOFTER), and was published on their website. The Agenda of the meeting (Annex 1) is an integral part of this minutes, as well as List of participants (Annex 2).

Order of the report presentation was:

* Presentation of the Final IPF report for Bosnia and Herzegovina:

1. Introduction and presentation of scenarios 2. Analyses Performed including hydropower potential 3. Environmental and Social Issues 4. Results and Conclusions

* Presentation of Draft Roof Report:

1. Introduction and general approach 2. Water management and water protection 3. Specific Aspects and Conclusions

Presentation of the final IPF report for Bosnia and Herzegovina Mr. Boško Kenjić, representative of the institution that is the project Focal Point in Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (MOFTER), opened the meeting, emphasizing that this meeting is very important and gave a brief overview of the current status of the project realization and the goal of this meeting. Mr. Kenjić pointed out that the Final IPF report was received and as such distributed to all relevant stakeholders in the country, but that there was a very short time-frame for the report to be thoroughly reviewed.

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 106

After the introductory statement of Mr. Boško Kenjić, team leader Ms. Nadja Železnik started the presentation of the Final IPF Report for Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the introductory Ms. Železnik gave a brief overview of the organization, structure, methodology and goals of the project and presented the envisaged scenarios for Bosnia and Herzegovina. She also pointed out that main objective of the project was to improve the cooperation in all three countries in the Drina River Basin.

Due to the scope and complexity of the report, Mr. Boško Kenjić suggested that participants should be given a certain time limit for submitting comments to the final IPF report for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ms. Nadja Železnik proposed July 20, 2017 as the deadline for submitting comments from all stakeholders.

Following the introductory section on the IPF report given by Ms. Nadja Železnik, performed analyses on hydropower potential was presented by Mr. Cane Čekerevac, who focused on the development scenarios, their various aspects and current drafts of the analysis results underlying that all comments received from stakeholders were taken into account. Several key notes by Mr. Čekerevec were: • 16 existing/potential HPPs on the Drina River in Bosnia and Herzegovina were analysed in the Report. • 3 possible scenarios: o "Green Growth" scenario (no new HPP plants) o "Reduced HPP Maximisation" scenario (planned reduction of HPP construction, two options were analysed) o "Hydropower Maximisation" scenario (includes the construction of 16 HPP on the Drina River) All parameters of the planned HPPs were reduced to the same level in order to be comparable. Based on the estimated input parameters and analyses performed, it was concluded that the most optimal scenario for Bosnia and Herzegovina is "Reduced HPP Maximisation" - Option 1.

Mr. Nenad Jaćimović was talking about the potential impacts of the proposed scenarios on the environmental and social Issues. He emphasized that in this part of the project a large number of experts participated from different fields relevant to environmental and social Issues and that they analysed the potential impacts of proposed scenarios on all aspects of the environment. Potential impacts were assessed according to a methodology that enabled the evaluation of proposed scenarios within the framework of multicriteria analysis. Considering only the environmental and social aspects of the scenario realization, it was concluded that the "Reduced HPP Maximisation" - Option 1, is more favourable option than the other considered scenarios. Discussion: • Mr. Boško Kenjić pointed out that upon conclusion of this meeting we cannot say that this version of the document is completely accepted since there is no appropriate response from key stakeholders at the meeting. Accordingly, we need to define how many more days we will need to go through this report once again, given that certain issues need to be addressed and examined further especially taking into account what is stated in Roof Report for all three countries. In addition to this, he kindly asked for detailed information on which comments received from stakeholders in Bosnia and Herzegovina were taken into account in the Final IPF Report and which weren’t. • Ms. Nadja Železnik pointed out that all comments received from stakeholders were taken into account in the Final IPF report, as well as that a correction of the Inception report and the IWRM report was made. • Mr. Boško Kenjić asked how the elaboration of the received comments was made, especially those related to the reversible HPP "Buk Bijela".

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 107

• Mr. Cane Čekerevac pointed out that the consortium accepted all comments, on the basis of the agreement from the meeting held at the beginning of the year. These changes relate to the Inception report as well as to the IWRM report in accordance with the comments received. When it comes to reversible HPP "Buk Bijela", it was treated in the same way as reversible HPP "Bistrica" in Serbia. • Ms. Nadja Železnik pointed out that the consent from all stakeholders in Bosnia and Herzegovina was obtained for the above (criteria for treatment of the reversible HPP "Buk Bijela"). • Mr. Cane Čekerevac pointed out that the consortium had many discussions related to treating the cost price of these projects individually. And then there was an explicit demand that some projects should take into account the cost price that came out of some recent studies. However, he pointed out that what was prioritized in the Draft IPF Report was that practically this priority was not changed. Sensitivity analysis of these final results shows that practically some minor cost price deviations from those accepted in the Draft report do not affect the final result. Regarding the reversible HPPs, they were treated in the same way and on the basis of the available data for both RHPP. • Mr. Boško Kenjić pointed out that he did not have time to take a detailed look of the IPF report for Serbia, and accordingly asked what multicriteria analysis for Serbia showed or which HPPs are the priority ones for Serbia. • Mr. Cane Čekerevac pointed out that this issue is very important and that it concerns Roof Report that needs to integrate everything, but Bosnia and Herzegovina as well. As far as the Republic of Serbia is concerned, some borderline objects are the priority HPPs for them. Therefore, cross- border cooperation and understanding is crucial. • Ms. Nadja Železnik presented projects that are the priority ones for Serbia. • Mr. Emir Isaković asked why a multicriteria analysis for the "Green Growth" scenario was not performed so that comparisons can be made, as this was discussed during the presentation of the Draft IPF Report. • Mr. Nenad Jaćimović answered that when all other scenarios were discussed it was understood that all criteria of the "Green growth" scenario are implemented, and accordingly results presented in all three scenarios include those from the "Green growth" scenario. • Mr. Željko Ratković stated that we have two very serious consulting companies in this project from Norway and Switzerland and that a little more was expected with the basic goal of better use of hydro-power potential of our area. Two studies have been carried out recently regarding the hydropower analysis: one for the Western Balkans and this one for the region encompasses three countries. This study should analyse water management problems: protection from water, water protection and water use. If we analyse the Drina River and utilization of river resources, we can conclude that these potentials are used at a modest level, and if analyse the consequences and damage caused by the river Drina, they are really huge, so attention should be paid to this issue (e.g. only in the last 100 years Bijeljina was flooded 10 times). This fact alone tells a lot about how great of an issue it really is. On the other hand, drought damage is present in the summer as much as flood damage, so the yield turns out lower than expected (20 to 30 percent of the expected yields), and if the river Drina was used properly yield could be up to 200% more than expected. If we observe the energy sector, the Bosnia and Herzegovina region has almost 15 times less potential than Norway, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a problem with the lack of electricity and we expect to get that energy from the hydro power potential. If we look at the proposed scenarios, the "Green Growth" scenario at one point suggests that nothing should be built, but instead suggests to increase the level of usefulness of the existing ones. Taking into account climate changes and predicted precipitation levels over the next 100 years, we come to the point that we will have a lack of energy that would cause even greater problems then already existing ones. If we talk about environmental impacts and observe the lower course of the Drina River where we have largest accumulations, construction of embankments to create conditions that will protect the area of

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 108

Semberija and Mačva from floods and thus we get some 1600 GW of electric power is very important and good for everyone. These facts tell us that we must have a slightly different approach and create the conditions for building those projects that have a greater social impact. We think that the consultant should further analyse the hydrological changes that had occurred before in order to adequately predict what will happen in the future. Also, logging causes problems related to erosion, so the consultant should also give answers to these questions. • Ms. Nadja Železnik pointed out that the envisaged scenarios were defined at the very beginning in cooperation with all stakeholders. • Mr. Cane Čekerevac pointed out that the project task defined the goals. Unfortunately, the project did not have the task to solve all the problems of the hydropower system of any of these countries, but the task of the project was to analyse and show which scenarios were possible, and to suggest an optimal scenario based on pre-defined criteria. It is up to the investor and the country to choose the project to realize, and that can even be the worst one according to our criteria. The one who invests money has an interest, and it is up to the country to make strategic decisions in which direction they want to further develop the hydro-power sector. • Mr. Željko Ratković further noted that no attention was paid to afforestation, as this would have contributed to the impact of water. • Ms. Irvina Numić said that at one point it was proposed to ensure the coordination of work of HPPs. Have you thought about how? • Ms. Nadja Železnik pointed out that one of the ways to do it is how it was done through the Sava Commission. • Ms. Alma Imamović pointed out that in her opinion, the “Base case scenario” is missing here and that it is not the same as the "Green Growth" scenario because it includes certain environmental issues. She also pointed out that in the section on "Environmental and social issues" no other pollution was mentioned except those that are the result of building hydro-accumulations. (e.g. pollution from agriculture, what happens to sewage treatment plants, etc.). • Mr. Nenad Jaćimović answered that when creating scenarios all strategic documents and plans adopted by each country related to environmental protection were taken into account, and that this was the starting point to all further considerations. • Ms. Suada Numić pointed out that Europe's tendency is to use renewable energy sources but that we have a lot of problems with existing thermal power projects. It is very important to check the strategies for the energy sector and whether they are taken into consideration. In addition, she pointed out that it should be taken into account that Republika Srpska declared the area of the Drina River a National park. • Ms. Lejla Šuman emphasized that the Government of Republika Srpska made a draft Law on the proclamation of "NP Drina", but that this Law has not been adopted yet by the National Assembly of Republika Srpska. • Ms. Alma Imamović pointed out that we will be faced with the problem of water supply in the foreseeable future.

Mr. Boško Kenjić thanked everyone for the fruitful discussion and noted that July 20th is the deadline for receiving comments on the IPF Report and asked the participants to send comments to his e-mail address or e-mail address of Ms. Gorana Bašević.

Presentation of Draft Roof Report:

Ms. Nadja Železnik presented the Draft Roof Report and presented recommendations for Bosnia and Herzegovina. She said that all documents can be found on the website. She suggested July 26, 2017 as the deadline for submitting comments from stakeholders to the Draft Roof Report.

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 109

Ms. Jovanka Ignjatović was talking about water management and water protection in the Drina river basin. It is important to take into account environmentally acceptable flow, reducing flood risks, sediment management. Urban areas have problems with rain and wastewater due to the lack of system maintenance, as well as the lack of funds and the disregard of the river banks. Care should be taken of irrigation, tourism and protection of groundwater. The conclusion is that there is no cooperation in the basin and no emphasis is placed on sediment management. Countries should harmonize methods, protect biodiversity, protect water, provide water quality and monitoring.

At the end Mr. Dragoljub Todić was talking about specific cross-border aspects and conclusions. Mr. Todić stated, among other things, that all three countries are members of key international treaties, that there are significant similarities, that there are some differences in the status of the three countries in the relevant international treaties in the field of water resources management, environment and energy that would be good to remove; that there are no bilateral agreements between the three countries, although they are some initiatives in this direction; that all three countries are in the process of harmonisation their internal regulations with EU regulations, but that there are differences in the achieved level of compliance; that in order to improve the cooperation of the three countries, it is not enough only to harmonise internal regulations with EU regulations; that it would be good to initiate the procedure of mutual harmonisation of some internal regulations of the three countries; that in the international law there are rules and practices of contractual regulation of relations between countries regarding the management of common cross- border water resources and that these rules and regulations should be used, etc. The principle of fair and reasonable use and participation in the use of international water resources, as well as other relevant principles, is the basis for the regulation of these relations. It is proposed, among other, to initiate the procedure for contractual regulation of the relations between the countries in the Drina River basin, and especially between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the plans for the use of water resources of the middle and lower course of the Drina River. Discussion: • Ms. Alma Imamović asked whether this Roof Report will provide a common Strategy for the entire basin. She pointed out that the Roof Report should define a draft scenario for managing the entire Drina River Basin without considering borders as this should be the starting point for further negotiations and achieving the objectives of sustainable river basin management. The Reports contain scenarios for each country individually and there is no joint proposal for the entire river basin. • Mr. Boško Kenjić asked what is the added value of the Roof Report. After reading the report, he noted that he wouldn’t know what to propose for further activities between the countries in the near future. There is no such proposal in the report. Consultant tried to summarize the Roof Report, make it easy to read and have on hand for quick use. However, we ended up having completely wrong messages from this Roof report, which were repeated by consultants even today on this meeting (that Serbia will build four HPP in the middle course of the Drina, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Montenegro what they want, therefore, each country individually), which leads to the situation that there is no common content in the Roof Report, which is not the purpose of the Roof Report. Roof report by its content cannot be a summary of what is written for each country individually. It is made on the basis of the performed analyses by country, but we need to ask for a common content. The report says that Bosnia and Herzegovina stated to have priorities in the upper Drina, and that we are not interested in what is happening in the middle course of the Drina, which is not true. There is only one sentence in the Roof Report related to Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which says "that's on the border" so it must be a joint work. Such Report does not really have any added value. Additionally, many formulations in the draft Roof Report are unclear, and if someone were to read only the Roof Report, without reading the previous Reports, a mess would be made and complete misunderstanding of everything that should be defined in the Roof Report. Legal issues must be corrected further because there are things that are stated in the Report that are quite simply not accurate. After three years of work on

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 110

the project, it must not be stated in the report that the country did not approve some Protocol or an Agreement, and that in fact it did. The work cannot be done from some remote location and reports must not contain inaccurate information about something that is the essence of the story and cooperation between the three countries. • When asked by Mr. Dragoljub Todić which Protocol is in question, Mr. Boško Kenjić replied that it was the Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), which was ratified by Bosnia and Herzegovina and that information was published in the Official Gazette. Mr. Dragoljub Todić explained that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not yet a member of this international agreement (not recorded by the depository, the period necessary for entry into force of the agreement has not yet expired after delivery of instruments of ratification). The fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina has ratified the Protocol does not affect the statement in the Report since Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a member at the moment of writing the report. Of course, the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the contract will be noted in the remarks. In addition, he said that the consultant was faced with problems from the very beginning in relation to the dynamics of the regulation change in the region. All reports that were prepared within the project were completed by a certain date. He stressed that it is best that all comments should be submitted in writing. • Mr. Boško Kenjić further commented that a lot of general recommendations were given in the report and that they addressed many issues (environmentally acceptable flow, protected zones, the need to improve monitoring, etc.). However, he stressed that all these recommendations are too general. We didn’t need this project to come up with general conclusions that we already knew more or less. He also emphasized that it is good to present the Draft Roof Report by country, but that in his view further discussion on the Roof Report should be organized for all three countries together, not individually country by country. And then we need to go through the list of recommendations and see if we will keep all 40 recommendations in the Report, or we will redefine it further which would facilitate further activities for concluding bilateral agreements. We need to recognize somewhere in this Roof Report the interest to work together. For many years now, we are talking about the construction of HPPs, we had joint agreements and contracts, so we encountered some joint problems also. The report states the need for cooperation (and we know that), but there is no recommendation on how to improve this cooperation and what this cooperation implies. In the end, he noted that in the next three weeks Bosnia and Herzegovina will collect and summarize all the comments to the Draft Roof Report, but once again stressed that Roof Report written in this form has no added value in relation to what is already written in the IPF reports. • Ms. Branislava Milekić commented that she did not read the Report in detail, but she wanted to comment on the fact that in relation to the four projects that were mentioned and which Serbia is planning to build in the middle course of the Drina, Bosnia and Herzegovina has nothing to object since MH Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (MH-ERS), together with Elektroprivreda Srbije (Electric Power Industry of Serbia - EPS), participated in the preparation of these projects and invested considerable funds and considers them promising. She commented that it is not clear if these projects are considered unacceptable by Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it is important to pay attention to these issues. • Mr. Boško Kenjić further commented that the multicriteria analysis showed that some other projects were considered a priority/best valued for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that was the basis for this conclusion that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not interested in the middle course of the Drina, which of course is not true and such remark cannot be included in the Report. We need to find a way to properly define it in the Report for it to be acceptable as these Reports will be used as the starting point for negotiations, projects and withdrawals of financial resources in the future.

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 111

• Ms. Nadja Železnik commented that the consultant will collect and address all received comments and prepare and deliver a new Roof report by the end of August 2017. Thereafter, a joint meeting with Focal Points from all three countries should be organized. • Mr. Boško Kenjić commented that this should not be a meeting organised only for Focal Points but with other stakeholders as well. • Ms. Nadja Železnik commented that the meeting could be organised together with other institutions which should be agreed on in the coming period.

In the end, Mr. Boško Kenjić and Ms. Nadja Železnik invited all participants/institutions to review the reports in detail, provide comments and recommendations, and send them within the specified deadline.

Mr. Boško Kenjić noted that July 26th is the deadline for receiving comments on the Draft Roof Report and asked the participants to send comments to his e-mail address or e-mail address of Ms. Gorana Bašević.

6.2.2 Minutes of Meeting (MOM) Montenegro, July 2017

Title Presentation of final IPF Report and Roof Report Date 6th July 2017 Time 10:00 – 13:00h Venue Podgorica, Old Government building, Jovana Tomaševića 2, 81000 Podgorica

The main objective of the meeting was the presentation of the final IPF Report for Montenegro and the presentation of the draft Roof report for which comments and suggestions are expected. The meeting was attended by the project stakeholders: Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), representatives of the Sport and fishing association from Municipality Plav - "Plavsko jezero" and consultants. Invitation to the meeting was was published on the Ministry's website and sent by e-mail of Focal Point Mr. Momcilo Blagojevic to all stakeholders in the project in Montenegro. The agenda (Annex 1) is a part of this minute and a list of participants (Annex 2).

The sequence of presentations of the studies was:

* Presentation of the Final IPF Report for Montenegro:

5. Introduction and presentation of scenarios 6. Performed analyses including HPPs 7. Environmental and social issues 8. Results and conclusions

* Presentation of the Draft Roof Report:

4. Introduction and general approach 5. Water management and protection 6. Specific aspects and conclusions

* Discussion and Closing of the meeting

Ten participants were present at the consultation meeting. After welcome speech of Mr. Momcilo Blagojevic from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Government of Montenegro, Ms. Nadja Zeleznik, Team leader started presentation of the Final IPF Report and the Draft Roof Report. She briefly summarized the project history as well as the purpose of the project, why it is organized and why it is being implemented. Ms. Železnik said that the project was organized to improve cooperation in all three countries of the Drina River Basin. Conclusion was that there is poor cooperation among municipalities, and also data collection, control and analysis need to be carried out.

Mr. Zdravko Stojanović from the Institute for water management “Jaroslav Černi” presented the IPF Report after introductory part. Mr. Stojanovic presented analysis of the existing state of hydroelectricity/HPPs in Drina River basin, with focus on Montenegro, as well as analysed development scenarios (Green - Green Growth/Reduced HPP Maximization – Optimal devlopment/Full Development - Full HPP Maximization), to which assessment criteria have been applied (multicriteria assessment: economic/social/environmental protection), which resulted in the selection of the Optimal Development Scenario as the most adequate for

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 113

the needs of Montenegro's development. Mr. Stojanovic also pointed that due to the recommendation of national stakeholders development activities related to Tara, translation of Tara into Moraca were not taken into consideration, and consequently, togather with multicriteria analysis, it resulted in choosing the scenario of Clean Strategy/Optimum Development + two new power plants: Lukin Vir and Andrijevica. In relation to monitoring and geographic significance, it was proposed to expand the number of stations across the entire Drina River Basin (19 stations in Montenegro).

Ms. Železnik then presented the Draft Roof Report and recommendations for Montenegro. She said that everything is on the website. It is needed to send comments by the end of Jyly 2017 (25.07.2017), and it is necessary to finish the report by the end of August 2017.

Ms. Jovanka Ignjatovic was talking about water management and protection of water at the level of the entire basin, taking into account three aspects: water protection (forest management, flood protection), water use (hydropower, irrigation, water supply, recreation, wells) and water protection (sediment management, environmentally acceptable flow, biodiversity and water quality). With all three aspects taken into account, it was stressed that more co-operation in the basin is necessary, following with monitoring in line with the Water Framework Directive (EU WFD) - increasing the number of stations on Drina and increasing the frequency of measurement, harmonizing the sampling and measuring method, and modernizing equipment. It is also important to consider environmentally acceptable flow (EPP), reducing flood risk, sediment management. Urban areas have problems with rain and wastewater due to failure to maintain the system, as well as the lack of funds, river banks not maintained properly. Attention should be given to irrigation, tourism and the protection of groundwater. The conclusion encompasses lack of cooperation in the basin and sediment management. Countries should harmonize methods, protect biodiversity, protect water, ensure water quality and monitoring and protection of wells.

Mr. Dragoljub Todic talked about specific cross-border aspects of water resources management and conclusions, at the end of presentation part of consultation meeting. Mr. Todic stated, among other things, that all three countries are members of key international treaties and significant similarities exists; some differences in the status of the three countries in the relevant international treaties in the field of water resources management, environment and energy also appears to exists that would be desirable to be resolved; no bilateral agreements between the three countries are in place, although activities in that respect have been initiated; all three countries are harmonizing their internal regulations with EU regulations, but there are differences in the achieved level of compliance; in order to improve the cooperation of the three countries, it is not enough only to harmonize internal regulations with EU regulations; it would be desirable to initiate the process of mutual harmonization of some internal regulations of three countries (e.g. ecologically acceptable flow, concessions, classification and categorization of waters, etc.); in international laws rules and principles of contractual regulation of relations between countries regarding the management of shared cross-border water resources exists and should be used, etc. The principle of fair and reasonable use and participation in the use of international water resources, as well as other relevant principles, are basis for the regulation of these relations. It is proposed, among other things, to initiate the procedure for contractual regulation of the relations between the countries in the Drina River basin, and especially between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the plans for the use of water resources of the middle and lower parts of the Drina.

Finally, Mr. Momcilo Blagojevic and Mrs. Nadja Zeleznik invited all participants to review reports, provide comments and send them within the deadline (until 25.07.2017). Constructive discussion followed:

* Discussion was opened by Mr. Omar Basic from the Sport and fishing association from Municipality Plav - "Plavsko jezero", who made the biggest objections regarding the data on fishing and species listed in the part of the documented related to Montenegro, especially from in relation to the Plav region. Mr. Bašić

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 114

pointed out that according to the presented data it could be concluded that Montenegro experts did not participated, nor was public consulted, as otherwise the given data would not contain such omissions. He pointed out at fish species: river charr, a cauldron, a salmon, stating that those are not the same species and that everyone in Montenegro knows this. He asked the question: the documents do not mention "river basin land", and considers it necessary to provide information about it and its contribution to protection. The question was: Was the river basin land issue discussed in the Report? He also stated that according to the Montenegrin legislation, river basin land is considered in the length of 8-15 m from the highest water level. In practice, according to Mr. Bašić, this land is categorized as agricultural, and it is easy to transform agricultural land into construction land.

* Mr. Momcilo Blagojevic from MARD informed participants of the fact that at the beginning of the implementation of the project, the team from representatives of relevant institutions at the national level was established, due to the operational and decision-making efficiency related to the implementation of the project. It also considers that anything that is considered unreasonable and adequately explained and confirmed in the Report should be amended or deleted. Mr. Blagojevic also informed all participants that the procedure for developing water information system in Montenegro is in progress. He stated that all interested parties in Montenegro will be informed and invited to participate in commenting once the first draft of the products is developed, in order to strengthen its quality. In addition, Mr. Blagojevic informed of the the project that is being implemented to strengthen the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). In the continuation of the discussion, Mr. Blagojević noted that Montenegro adopted in 2016 the Rulebook on minimum ecological flow.

* Mr. Stojanovic from the Institute for water management “Jaroslav Černi” commented to the initial comments of Mr. Basic from the Sport and fishing association from Municipality Plav - "Plavsko jezero", and he stated that he agreed with everything that Mr. Basic stated, noting that it is necessary to develop modifications of the System of incentives for the construction of HPP/SHPP, which is a system problem, since it may be better to have several hydroelectric power plant with powerhouse at the toe of the dam/dam toe powerhouse, not one SHPP. He added that due to incentive measures, the investor most often complains about the professional recommendations/opinion, as well as of the public, and about ecology, because such approach is cheaper, and the profit is higher, ie. investments are less. In addition, Mr. Stanojevic stated that the problem that Mr. Basic refers to is recognized and reflected into the Report. As for the existence of the HPPs, Mr. Stojanovic stated that today energy consumption is growing every day and the reduction of energy consumption from energy efficiency is not possible. All countries in the basin are limited by energy resources - no oil/gas, but they have water to be used. The Komarnica problem is recognized in the Development Strategy, therefore there is a higher and lower quota of the project flow. Mr. Stojanovic also pointed out that he and his colleagues from the Institute did everything in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, since the lack of development is not sustainable. Without development Montenegro relies heavily on electricity imports (35%) and the outflow of resources arising from the use of water resources.

* Mr. Blagojević from MARD add few additional info to Mr. Stojanović's discussion and expressed his opinion that it is necessary to use water potential, but with compromises and without environmental threats. It should be considered that HPPs lead to regulation of river beds, prevent floods, they can be subject to tourist valorization and serve to improve fish fund. He expressed the opinion that Montenegro has great water potential, but requires rational use and compromise between development and environmental protection.

* Mr. Nenad Jaćimovic, on behalf of Stucky Consortium, stated that all issues and inadequacies presented by Mr. Basic, concerning the part of nature protection, will be passed on to colleagues who worked on it in order to be resolved.

6.2.3 Minutes of Meeting (MOM) Serbia, July 2017

Title Presentation of final IPF Report and Roof Report Date 4th July 2017 Time 10:00 – 13:00h Venue Beograd, Srbijavode boat, Brodarska 3, 11070 Beograd – New Beograd

The main objective of the meeting was the presentation of the final IPF Report for Serbia and the presentation of the draft Roof report for which comments and suggestions are expected. The meeting was attended by the project stakeholders: Ministry of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management – Republic Directorate for Water, JVP “Srbijavode”, JVP “Srbijavode” VPC “Sava-Dunav”, JVP “Vode Vojvodine”, Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia – RHMZ, Institute “Jaroslav Černi”, The Standing Conference of towns and municipalities – SKGO, Drinsko-Limske Hydropower Plants, WWF Serbia, Cekor, Faculty of natural sciences – Novi Sad, Faculty of Civil Engineering – Beograd. Invitation to the meeting was sent by e-mail of Focal Point Ms. Marija Lazarević to all stakeholders in the project in the Republic of Serbia. The agenda (Annex 1) is a part of this minute, and list of participants (Annex 2).

The sequence of presentations of the studies was:

* Presentation of the Final IPF Report for Serbia:

9. Introduction and presentation of scenarios 10. Performed analyses including HPPs 11. Environmental and social issues 12. Results and conclusions

* Presentation of the Draft Roof Report:

7. Introduction and general approach 8. Water management and protection 9. Specific aspects and conclusions

* Discussion and Closing of the meeting

Around 30 participants attended the meeting. After welcome speech of Ms. Marija Lazarević, Ms. Nadja Železnik, Team leader started presentation of the Final IPF Report and the Draft Roof Report. She briefly summarized the project history as well as the purpose of the project, why it is organized and why it is being implemented. Ms. Železnik said that the project was organized to improve cooperation in all three countries of the Drina River Basin. Conclusion was that there is poor cooperation among municipalities, and also data collection, control and analysis need to be carried out.

Ms. Nataša Marinković was talking about the project and about performed analyses including HPPs. All hydropower plants were reduced to the same level to be comparable. Obtained inputs were estimated and an optimal scenario was based on the analyses. Mr. Nenad Jaćimović was talking about the environment

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 117

and social issues. A large number of experts participated from the mentioned fields. It has been determined that there is potential in all locations, but it depends on whether it will be used. When all is taking into concideration the reduced scenario is more favourable.

Mr. Zdravko Stojanović from the Institute for water management “Jaroslav Černi” said there was a report on the website. Monitoring is important because in this way the network is identifies, it provides an overview of the availability of data and the reliability of existing data, provides suggestions for improvement measures, receives information on what is available, what is the condition of the infrastructure, whether there are bottlenecks. Exchange of information is important in order to give a recommendation. Mr. Stojanović mentioned the Chapter 11. They sent questionnaires, processed data to get the condition of the network by country. There was a question of subjects outside the system who measures for their own needs: Should they be out of the system. Recommendation is to see who is measuring and register it. Also, it was indicated that it would be good to perform hourly measurements or 15-minute measurements because this would be of great importance to the Emergency services. It would be good for all the countries in the Drina River Basin to use the same measurement software. The goals are to cover the entire basin with adequate measurements. It needs to be established: 1) what is the existing equipment, 2) purchase of missing equipment, 3) install new stations (provide resources). Mr. Stojanović said that the list of stations was expanded due to the geographic importance of the stations.

Ms. Železnik then presented the Draft Roof Report and recommendations for Serbia. She said that everything is on the website. It is needed to send comments by the end of July 2017, and it is necessary to finish the report by the end of August 2017.

Ms. Jovanka Ignjatović was talking about water management and protection of water in the basin. It is important to take into account ecologically acceptable flow, reducing the risk of floods, managing sediments. Urban areas have problems with rainwater and wastewater because of failure to maintain the system, and because of the lack of funds and unsettled river banks. There should be taking care of irrigation, tourism and protection of groundwater. The conclusion is that there is no cooperation on the basin and sediment management is no emphasized. Countries should harmonize methods, protect biodiversity, protect water, provide water quality and monitoring.

At the end Mr. Dragoljub Todić was talking about specific aspects and conclusions. Mr. Todić specified that Drina is a school example of a conflict situation. The question is whether it is enough for three countries to become EU members in order to resolve such issues more easily and quickly. The answer is not enough, because we are witnesses that many conflicts often occur among the EU member states. The soulution is in fair principle and reasonable usage, and participation in the use of international water resources. It is necessary to bring it to the higher harmonized level, especially between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

At the end Ms. Marija Lazarević i Ms. Nađa Železnik invited all participants to look at the reports, to give comments and send it in mentioned deadline. After that a constructive discussion was followed:

* Mr. Ratko Bajčetić, representative from “Vode Vojvodine” started a discussion mentioned the presentation of Ms. Jovanka Ignjatović about structural and non-structural measures. Land management should be added, for example erosion. Erosion processes impair the soil structure. Only structural measures cannot solve the problem but administrative bans could. Ms. Ignjatović said it was mentioned in the report, but she will check and add if it is necessary.

* Mr. Slavimir Stevanović, representative from Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia – RHMZ wanted to speak about the part that talked about RHMZ. He mentioned that he was involved in the project from the beginning until a year ago. He said that he was surprised to hear from colleague who said that the

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 118

seriouse project about the monitoring issue started (GEF). And since 2000. (17 years) they have been working with the same topic, but actually did not moved further from the essentially point – and it is a data. Finally, it was realized that if monitoring is not done and “update” methodology with worse and worse data, the project will be based on very bad information. The World Bank understood and financed the project Establishment of basic monitoring of hydrometeorological monitoring. About two years ago this project installed a network of hydrometeorological stations. If something is written in this report, that funds are necessary it will be weird because something like this already exists. Procurement approval of station equipment is currently ongoing and this will be done this year.

* Ms. Marija Lazarević said it would be best Mr. Zdravko Stojanović to answer on this. Mr. Stojanović said if this is done, people would not be invited to do it again or there was a possibility that it was done, but it is not approved yet. He added at the beginning there was a team of experts who started the work and then the team “disappeared”. He referred to Mr. Stevanović with a statement that data may be known to them because he does not know about it. According to the World Bank website, this is obviously not done. Mr. Stevanović added that this already exists, the network of stations, hydrological-hydraulic water, the purpose of each station is indicated. All hydrometeorological institutes have done this, and all this is known to the detail. Currently it is in approval process in Washington. Mr. Stojanovic said that as long as it was not approved for them, it was not over and that they had their own project in which they produced some results.

* Ms. Lazarević joined the discussion and added that it cannot be said that we are not interested in what the current project is based. Also, she added that RHMZ is competent national monitoring institution and their data should be used. Mr. Stojanović said that he did not dispose of these data, and Ms. Lazarević said that Mr. Stevanović could give these data. Mr. Stojanović added that call for project has a bad timing. Mr. Slavimir Stevanović said that project is terribly late and said to Mr. Stojanović there is no need to feel bad about it because there are two projects on Sava. First project (project based on management), to give inputs for second project should be finished first – this project is late one year. Now they have inversely situation that second project is finished earlier (prognostic model).

* Mr. Stojanović said that this project had the dynamics it had. When people who initially worked on the project left, they no longer had feedback, and they were interested. Ms. Lazarević addressed to Zdravko Stojanović with a question and why they did not ask RHMZ what is it about. Mr. Stojanović replied that they did not know who to ask. They asked Dragana Vasić and prof. Borislava Blagojević from Niš but they could not say anything to them. They wanted a tight relationship with the project. Mr. Stevanović said that the RHMZ should no longer be an alibi for such things and he invited to find solutions. It was said that an "update“ was made, but with what, with which data – asked Mr. Stevanović. And he added that this study is based on data from 60s from last century. Mr. Stojanović added that in the study it was not said that infrastructure is bad but it was said infrastructure improvement is needed. RHMZ was on purpose workshop, it delivered inputs. Data are not from 60s but received from relevant measuring entities in the basin. Mr. Stojanović invited Mr. Matić who was on the workshop to confirm that RHMZ delivered the inputs. He added that he had received information that certain tender information was confidential and they could not have access to it. There are some rules in using these data. He invited to share data with them if they could. Mr. Stevanović explained to all participants on the meeting that it is about monitoring on the entire basin and he is surprised that some data were not available, i.e. they are "secret“. He said that tomorrow in Sarajevo and in Podgorica they will hear the same story from the representatives from Hydrometeorological Institutes. The World Bank has defined locations but also gave money for the project. Mr. Stojanović added they communicated with representatives of the team who developed it and it was not accessable. Ms. Ignjatović suggested to Mr. Stevanović to send comment and deliver asked data. Ms. Lazarević said that they will send the official letter to RHMZ and ask for data.

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 119

* Mr. Srđan Marjanović, representative from RHMZ said that he did not find version in Serbian language, and Ms. Železnik added there is a local version. Mr. Marjanović mentioned the GEF project on which they had worked recently which predict money for monitoring. Mr. Zdravko Stojanović said they received information when Dragana was working with a team on the project. After that they have not received data, but he saw that many was using their data and circle was not closed. Mr. Stevanović commented that their results were not visible. It is necessary all communication to goes over Ms. Dragana Milovanović or over person to whom her duty was transferred. At the end of this discussion all participants agreed the official request for delivery of data should be sent to RHMZ, and representatives from RHMZ added that all asked data will be delivered.

* The discussion is continued by asking technical question from Mr. Srđan Marjanović, representative from RHMZ who addressed to Nataša Marinković with a question about optimal and reduced development of Hydropower Plants and data about energy production. Ms. Marinković said that used data are from Institute “Jaroslav Černi”. The installation was adopted as a technical data and it was taken from the project documentation. Mr. Stojanović added they used literature from 1973. until 2014. It was not possible to compare prices and benefits in the range of 40 years, so everything is reduced to the same level. Expenses and production are based on the same methodologies. Ms. Marinković added that the unit prices were adopted so none power plant to be favoured. Hydropower Plants in recommended scenario for Serbia are not in recommended scenario for Bosnia and Herzegovina, because the “Buk/Bijela” and “Foča” withdrew this story. These scenarios did not prove to be optimal.

* Mr. Srđan Marjanović, representative from RHMZ thanked to Ms. Marinković on explanation and addressed to Mr. Zdravko Stojanović with a question about hourly deliver of data. It was connected to monitoring and equipment improvement. Mr. Stojanović said that this is a tend and this is a recommendation. Mr. Marjanović mentioned “Sava HIS” which is part of ratified story at the states level, will “Drina HIS” take over data, how it looks like, to not duplicate the job. Mr. Stojanović said that “Sava HIS” includes a wider territory and that some idea was to create a “buffer” i.e. if “Sava HIS” will lagging to provide data, the idea is to serve as some kind of service. This is a recommendation, but it is not obligatory. Mr. Slavimir Stevanović mentioned that Drina is part of the Sava River Basin, it is a part of system and it should not be subsystem unless if it is part of the EPS. All hydrometeorological institutes are functioning well and cooperate but it is not the case with EPS because there is a problem with Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. For instance, Montenegro is not part of Sava Commission but provide their data. This is functional and there is no need to develop subsystem in the system.

* Mr. Radisav Matić, representative of Drinsko-Limske Hydropower Plants, mentioned in the Roof Report page no. 38. and table 3.5 where energy from the flow was calculated: ETA is specified 100% but it should be 94%. Also, it depends which power plant is. Then, Mr. Matić said that hourly and 15-minutes reporting has been mentioned. For them even 6-hours reporting is satisfied, and 1-hour reporting too. Mr. Stojanović added that this was mentioned because of the emergency situations, such as floods, in these situations is needed 15-minute reporting to make decisions in an emergency situation. He mentioned that some from the RHMZ said that for them is suitable to put the Height station at 2000 m. Mr. Stojanović added there is no GPS system there, no signal, no road. From the RHMZ he received the answer they are not interested in “technical trivia” because for them this location is adequate for their measurements.

* Mr. Radisav Matić commented then 1-hour reporting is adequate for water management. He returned to the page no. 38 where was mentioned that production is secondary in water management. Mr. Matić said this is valuable only when is flood or drought. In all other situations it is priority and Mr. Matić is speaking based on his experience. He added that in the Report was mentioned that program WEAP does not recognise RHE. We have one RHE in the Basin to be considered. Then he mentioned that accumulations „Piva“, „Uvac“ and „Kokin Brod“ are seasonal accumulations and it is known exactly how they are empty, and „Potpeć“ can be treated as flowing. The goal is the accumulation to be full 100% on 1st October and in

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 120

the winter period to be spent by March next year („Piva“, „Uvac“, „Kokin Brod“). Data exist and they are known and they can deliver them by months and can provide seasonal scenarios. In the Report is mentioned all accumulations are treated as flowing except of „Piva“. Ms. Jasna Plavšić, representative from Faculty of Civil Engineering replied on Mr. Matić’s comment that software WEAP realy cannot model reversible HPPs, but indirectly it can model the redistribution of water from one to another accumulation, while the energy balance cannot be modeled. Regarding to the accumulation leveling, the water management made model of the Drina Basin treats only accumulation “Piva” as an accumulation with seasonal leveling. What distinguishes the model between the accumulation with the leveling and the flowing hydroelectric power plant is the requirement for energy production, on the basis of which the model calculates the flow through turbines and the balance of water in the accumulation. If there is no data on the required energy production, the accumulations are modeled as flow hydropower plants, i.e. only process the quantity of water that touches. If EPS deliver data about needed energy production by months, consultants will add it in the model. Ms. Plavšić also reminded that the water management model of the Drina River Basin was not made for real-time management, but for strategic planning, as well as the entire project was made. For real-time management, should be developed with different model with hourly time step. Developed water management is a rough model in terms of assumption which has filled because they serve for strategic and integral water management. It was taking in account water supply, irrigation, industry, how much groundwater reserves are empty… In this way, the balance of water is examined integrally, not just the balance in the accumulations. Ms. Plavšić asked Mr. Matić to provide EPS data to consultant about typical production, in gigawatt hours. Mr. Matić said he will give data in gigawatt hours. Also, he drew attention in Serbia there is no agreement between different institutions, and how will three countries agree between each other. He reminded all participant on the war in the 90s from last century. In Bosnia and Herzegovina exists three entities with problems in communication between each other. Mr. Matić specified an example until the outbreak of the conflict (1991-1992), municipalities of Bajina Bašta and Zvornik paid compensation for submerged land to the municipalities of Srebrenica, Rogatica, Bratunac... This obligation none pay today, this question is matter of argue between countries. There is no will in the countries to regulate this. Mr. Matić considers that we do not have legal basis and hope this project will give recommendations to the countries how to do it but there is need to hurry up. Because of the above mentioned the management of Drina River is difficult, while on the other hand the Sava river is not. He mentioned another example: when the water from the accumulation is released, other countries are not informed, as Drina does not flow through the three countries. Ms. Lazarević emphasized that agreements at the bilateral level are very important, but she also expressed concern that if we can not agree at the project level, then how we will agree at the state level.

* Mr. Goran Sekulić, representative of WWF mentioned biomonitoring. Mr. Aleksandar Bajić, representative of Faculty of natural sciences from Novi Sad pointed out they used literary data and he said that very little information was available. They gave similar recommendations and suggestions on biomonitoring. They will look at everything in detail and send a comment if everything get into the Report. Mr. Nenad Jaćimović mentioned that all HPPs received the conditions of nature protection and biomonitoring data should be extracted from there.

* Mr. Dušan Dobričić, representative of Republic Directorate for Water wanted to draw attention to not favour the energy sector. It is important in all scenarios, but the relevance needs to be relativized. There is no need to mention that energetics is the most important user, it should be indicated that it is a significant user in terms of water usage. It is necessary to purify the formulations in the Report. Mr. Zdravko Stojanović added that perhaps some unfortunate formulations were made about the importance of energetics. A significant part of the objects which are discussed here is for production of energy. “Buk/Bijela” is not for water supply. He added that the remark is fully accepted and will be defined.

* Ms. Marija Lazarević thanked for the discussion and noted that the deadline for receiving comments is 31st July and she asked to send on her e-mail address: [email protected] She will try tomorrow to send official request to the RHMZ.

* Ms. Nađa Železnik thanked to everyone for today’s participation on the behalf of the consultant.

The Main objective of the meeting was presentation of Final Roof Report. The meeting was attended by stakeholders from all three countries, from Serbia: Ministry of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management – Republic Directorate for Water, Public Water Management Company “Vode Vojvodine”, Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, United Fishermen of Serbia. Then from Bosnia and Herzegovina: Water Resources Agency of the Sava River, Hydroelectric plants on Drina – Višegrad, Public institution „Voda Srpske“, Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Republic of Srpska, JP Eletroprivreda BiH dd. Sarajevo, Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of Republika Srpska, MH Elektroprivreda Republic of Srpska. And, from Montenegro: Elektroprivreda of Montenegro, Geological Survey of Montenegro, Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology of Montenegro. As well as representatives of the consultants: “Stucky”, “CESTRA”, Institute “Jaroslav Černi”, Faculty of Civil Engineering – Beograd and REC.

* Presentation of Final Roof Report:

10. Opening 11. Presentation of Final Roof Report a. Introduction and methodology b. Development scenarios and recommended HPP construction projects c. Environmental optimization d. Modeling water management e. Minutes 12. Discussion

The meeting was attended by thirty-five participants. Ms. Nadja Železnik, the team leader was not able to attend the meeting so Ms. Jovanka Ignjatović opened a meeting and welcomed all the participants on behalf of the project team. She said that today will be presented the Final Roof Report and before that she invited all participant to introduce themselves. Ms. Ignjatović started her presentation of the project saying the World Bank is a donor and the project is being implemented since 2014. “COWI” is a project leader, and the partners are the Institute Jaroslav Černi“ and “Stucky”. In the project were involved “CeS COWI”, Faculty of Civil Engineering – Beograd and REC. The project was unexpectedly extended because the former team leader left the project team. The aim of the project is to improve cooperation between countries, integrated water management, support to relevant institutions, public involvement, stakeholders… Ms. Ignjatović mentioned and explained the project tasks, the methodology (WEAP model), main challenges such as flood wave, national parks, opportunities for sport and recreation in the Drina River Basin.

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 123

* Mr. Zdravko Stojanović, Institute “Jaroslav Černi”, at the beginning of his presentation mentioned that he regrets because Mr. Joos Bernard was not able to attend the meeting. He started his presentation of Final Roof Report “Development scenarios and recommended HPP projects”. Mr. Stojanović mentioned all the countries located in the Drina River Basin, pointing out that the Republic of Albania accounts for a very small part of the DRB 0.8%, ie, 158 km2, so this country is not part of this group of countries. Mr. Stojanović was talking about HPP mentioned in the list, he pointed out that they didn’t have datas for all HPP and he thanks to all who delivered datas. After that, he was talking about reversible HPP „Buk Bijela“ and „Bistrica“, he said they are not in the considerated scenarios, but they are in the appropriate IPF reports because it was a request from the stakeholders, their role is specific as well as the way of making profit and further technical documentation development is recommended and analyze within the appropriate future projects. Mr. Stojanovic then spoke about the analyzed scenarios, the reduced and the maximum scenario for the countries. He stressed the need for permanent communication, coordination and exchange of information between relevant institutions. Mr. Stojanovic talked about the selected scenario for the hydropower development of the Drina river basin. He also identified four HPPs involved in the selected integrated development scenario for the Drina River Basin (HPP "Dubravica", HPP "Tegare", HPP "Rogačica" and HPP "Kozluk") because they represent the hydroelectric potential that needs to be shared. The most suitable solution for the construction of these HPPs would be mutual cooperation, communication, coordination, exchange of information between relevant institutions / representatives of both countries and the goal of their realization (in practice, different solutions are known), especially because they are found in the relevant planning documents of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republic of Serbia. The conclusion is that there is a significant hydroelectric potential in the Drina River basin, but for this it is necessary to invest significant funds which are not small.

* At the end of his presentation Mr. Zdravko Stojanović invited all participants to ask questions. Mr. Dragan Radojević, Geological Survey of Montenegro, asked whether it is possible to analyze the issue of transfer Tara into Morača and this is right place to mention it. Mr. Stojanović agreed with Mr. Radojević but, as he mentioned before at the begining of his presentation, this approach is a result of limitations based on the conclusions from the meetings and communication with the stakeholders. This topic was very interesting and complex, because when it comes transfer of water between river basins, the question is how to regulate relations and compensate for downstream users and this topic is very serious. Mr. Stojanović agreed that for everyone will be interesting, but somehow it was decided to stay on that. So if they did it well, added Mr. Stojanović it is for good. This transfer of rivers was a real challenge, but at some point it turned out of matter.

* Ms. Ignjatović invited other participants to ask questions. Mr. Željko Ratković, Elektroprivreda Republic of Srpska, said that they know this project since a long time. He stressed that his opinion is that the consultants did not respect some stories regarding the construction and other things, so there are no suitable representatives of COWI, and he will ask questions to the assistants who was working something or to Mr. Kenjić, who is responsible of this project. General conclusion is that they gave appropriate remarks on 20th July 2017, and he would like to have these remarks scanned and include in the technical documentation, because with this approach which is defined here, he thinks that the consultant did not respond to any of the set goals related to the preparation of this technical documentation. Mr. Ratković repeated his observations and comments which have already been mentioned in the letter of Elektroprivreda RS from 20th July 2017. Simple, consultant did not respond to the task and suggestion for the World Bank is not to give such serious studies, based on the strategic development of some countries to the consultants, but to give to the Academy of Sciences, faculties, institutions which can answer these questions. It seems that consultants present their personal opinions that do not obligate anyone, they give priorities to the public and on that way they think they solved their job. Mr. Stojanović said if Mr. Ratković continues, he will not be able to answer, and Ms. Ignjatović added

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 124

it will not be answered and invites Mr. Ratković to continue. Mr. Ratković added their main job is to protect their institutions and communities, they came here with this purpose, and not to listen one side and multi- criteria analyzes which says what should be done and what should not. He added that as far as it is concerned, Mr. Kenjić’s remarks should be added in this study and it should not be just some information which will consultant take from this meeting, and put in the minutes what he wants. Their institutions paid their travel here, and reading of those documents, they should do better because they are responsible to them and they have to respond to their professional obligations. Ms. Ignjatović thanked Mr. Ratković and said the minutes will be made. She also added that further discussion will not be opened and she invites prof. Nenad Jaćimović to start a presentation.

* Ms. Stephanie Andre welcomed all the participants and thanked everyone for their participation. She invited prof. Nenad Jaćimović to present in the local language the Final Roof Report „Ecological and social issues“. Prof. Nenad Jaćimović mentioned the main approach and paid great attention to the social aspect. He then talked about biodiversity and said that, for example, the disappearance of one plant causes the disappearance of ten species that feed with that plant. He also mentioned that all protected areas, current and future, were recorded. He mentioned the main social characteristics in the Drina River Basin, the environmental impacts, the recommendations for water systems, and the quality of water (urban, communal and industrial water), the negligible part is purified. Prof. Jaćimović mentioned the selected scenarios, basic goals of environmental protection and water, as well as recommendations. Conclusion is the protection, renewal and improvement of surface and groundwater, it is necessary to construct a wastewater treatment plant and improve solid waste management in order to improve the quality of the waters of the Drina River.

* At the end of prof. Jaćimović presentation, Mr. Nenad Đukić, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of Republika Srpska noticed in the presentation HPP "Vikoč", HPP "Goražde", HPP "Drina 3" and HPP "Sutjeska" which was analyzed, and in the previous case it was not, and it is obviously great influence of this explanation given in this way, and in the analysis of scenarios and hydropower have not been processed and how come this disproportion in all this. Prof. Jaćimović said that HPP „Vikoč“ was taken in May-June for sure, and it was finished and analized. Others were processed but did not include into the selection for the final scenario. Then Ms. Nataša Marinković added an additional explanation that HPP „Vikoč“, "Drina 1, 2 and 3" were analyzed within the maximum scenario and ecologically they were processed and therefore prof. Jaćimović presented here but they are not included in the optional scenario for any country, and therefore did not include into the integral scenario. She also mentioned in the multicriterium ranking, other parameters that make up water management in the basin, such as water supply and industry, flood protection, drought, water supply for irrigation purposes, etc., were analyzed. as well as other ecological parameters. prof. Jaćimović talked about protected areas, the main characteristics of the area of the Drina River Basin (demographic, natural resources, protected cultural property and heritage). He mentioned the quality of water, the sources of pollution (urban, communal and industrial water) and the negligible part of the purification. He then spoke about the environmental impact assessment and the main goals of environmental protection. The main recommendations refer to measures for preserving the fish fund, it is necessary to complete the started facilities and use them, as well as to improve the quality of water. It is recommended that an institution, for example Public utility companies, should take care of these facilities, but this idea can not be implemented at the moment because reorganization of these companies is needed. The main goals of environmental protection are very important because everything starts and ends with the environment. The European Union's Environmental Impact Assessment Directive is largely included in the laws of these countries. The conclusions are that cross-border cooperation and active public participation is necessary, protection, renewal and improvement of surface and groundwater, then the construction of wastewater treatment plants and better management of solid waste...

* Then Mr. Marinko Vranić, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of Republika Srpska, said, based on last Ms. Marinković’s reply to the previous comment and from the point of view of the objectives defined in the water management related to integrated water resources management and multipurpose use of waters were expected to gain more in the optimal scenario in terms of time and space redistribution of water precisely to achieve the goals of the economy of what has been said. First of all, providing additional quantities of water for agriculture and all other users. Also, as the most significant problem defined by all beneficiaries of the project is the defense against floods and damage caused by floods in the past. In this optimal scenario, the conclusion was that the existing planned facilities in the optimal system can not provide a more significant role in the balancing, so it is not clear from the standpoint of water management and at the end of the energy sector, considering that in this most unfavorable scenario for the energy sector, two "Buk Bijela-visoka" and "Foča-visoka" facility. At these facilities we get redistribution of water and flood protection and compensation and significant increase in small water, nothing of this was not considered in these scenarios and there are similar remarks from colleagues from Elektroprivreda, so it seems all these goals were lost somewhere and none of them in the optimal solution was finally realized. Ms. Marinković said she fully agrees with her colleague Vranić regarding the importance of "Buk Bijela-visoka" and "Foča-visoka", but he believes that he missed in the presentation of Mr. Stojanović explanation of omission of these HPPs from further analysis, ie, what he said was that the consultants were practically tied hands for those two objects. The reason for this is the clearly stated attitude of the "stakeholders". At a meeting two years ago when these objects were discarded for further analysis.

* Prof. Jasna Plavšić, Faculty of Civil Engineering – University of Beograd, started her presentation of the "Water Management Model of the Drina River Basin in the WEAP Program". This tool for simulating the operation of the Drina Water Management System enables the consideration of the strategic planning variant on the Drina River Basin and was developed in the WEAP software. Prof. Plavšić then mentioned previous model-related activities, and then spoke about the WEAP software itself, why it was chosen (free for state, academic and non-profit institutions in developing countries). Prof. Plavšić explained how WEAP works and what are its options. Also, in the presentation she described the assumptions under which the water management model of the Drina was developed and the methodological framework for the application of the model. Then she spoke in detail about scenarios, simulations and results. The main conclusion is that the model is primarily support for strategic planning, not operational management. The model uses a monthly time step, and it has been developed with certain assumptions (simplifications related to groundwater sources, uncertainty of water supply, selected climatic and other scenarios ...). The limitations of this model are the redistribution of water only in one time cross-section based on the given priorities, so the model does not provide an optimized distribution of water to users, nor optimizes the work of accumulations. It is recommended that the model should be further maintained and developed to be usable and possible directions for further development were given. The model is available to everyone in the basin, the problem is parallel development in all countries. At the end of her presentation, prof. Plavšić thanked the participants for attention.

* After the break, Ms. Jovanka Ignjatović presented the conclusion, a summary review and spoke about the recommendations. Then she invited the participants to make their suggestions at the meeting or send them by e-mail.

DISCUSSION:

* Mr. Nenad Đukić said the most honestly, that there are three people on this project that he always saw when they met: Slavica Ašković, prof. Jasna Plavšić and Tijana Dašić, and all the others changed relatively. It is obvious that this is a very serious job and task, for example, the master plan which is now making for the countries of the Western Balkans goes to the ministerial level and will be discussed, and before there have

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 126

been similar meetings such as this, so he personally thinks that the project did not satisfy to what they expected. First, when looking at the spatial planning documents on several occasions and in their conclusion, they take "Buk Bijelo-niska" and in the spatial-planning documentation of the Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina means a completely different concept. They have it, this is no justification and it is a big mistake. Next is the issue of hydrological data, without going into details because it is certain they are relative, they are not necessarily incorrectly entered, they are certainly good, but there is not much data in this draft. These consultant’s activities seems as a justification, even officious put some relatively ultimate scenarios to justify some of the activities that were done there and he says it is unacceptable. The only thing that is definitely fully completed is the WEAP model worked just along with the team from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, and they certainly got the most out further of this project and surely it will be the most useful in all of this. Mr. Đukić added that the team made a lot of recommendations, but his recommendation is that he will ask extension of this project from the World Bank and he thinks that the end has not come to an end. Ms. Ignjatović thanked Mr. Djukic with the words that all his remarks were recorded and they would be included in the report and invited Mr. Emir Isaković from Water Resources Agency of the Sava River to start. He thanked for quality presentations and invested efforts during the project. At the beginning, he wants to say and give few comments, and these are mutual comments of the Water Resources Agency of the Sava River and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management. First, he said what Mr. Kenjić already mentioned at the beginning that it is important to intensify the activities for concluding bilateral agreements in water management cooperation, and that he did not see now that he was underlined or bolded. Perhaps this should be included among the main conclusions or recommendations in order to get started as soon as possible. Also, in a few places in the report, he saw that the border between the Republic of Serbia and the entity was mentioned. Naturally, when it comes to specific activities of entity competence, entities should be listed. However, when it comes to borders, it should always refer to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, at the beginning, comments were given for the IPF report, a Roof report about the lack of explanations for "green growth", a green scenario that would include what would happen if hydroelectric plants were not built. In order to use better water resources in terms of water management, industry, tourism ... to explain this in more detail. Mr. Isaković added that the mentioned exploitation of gravel in the Drina basin is an important economic activity and he agrees with that, but from a hydrological point of view it is important to note that it is important that everything goes in coordination with water management companies. Basically, the essence is to provide a flow profile, that is, the extraction of gravel leads to the provision of optimum flow profile and the exploitation of the gravel is controlled. Mr. Isakovic thanked at the end of his presentation.

Ms. Ignjatović thanked to Mr. Isaković and invited consultants to say any comment or remarks on these questions. Mr. Stojanović asked Mr. Đukić if he had a presentation or other relevant document to show what was written in the planning documents of Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding Buk Bijela. He admitted that he did not understand this part of the story and asked him not to send any further documentation or something like that, but to say at this meeting what exactly he meant and where it was specifically within the valid planning documents. Mr. Đukić replied with apology, but he did not come to this meeting to has the presentation, but only to gives a suggestion on the data, and the basic plan of Republika Srpska has included "Buk Bijela" as a reversible separate hydroelectric power plant and there is a report and documentation in the previous year. Mr. Stojanović asked if he is talking about reversible, because in the plan there is an irreversible and reversible hydroelectric power plant. Reversible uses as lower water irreversible, without irreversible, neither reversible nor irreversible exist. Mr. Đukić agreed with this statement, but mentioned that they did not put this option at any time, but it is as a "Buk Bijela niska". Mr. Stojanović said it was irreversible and for reversible was not include in the scenarios due to technical reasons, as mentioned in the report completely separate from "Buk Bijela niska“ as it is given and the recommendation is reversible HPP should be analyzed in next projects. Accordingly, both plants are in the project and each one is in the place that belongs within the project. Mr. Stojanović turned to Mr. Isaković's remark that consultants, if there are inaccurate mentioned around the borders, will be corrected. He noted that in his presentation was very carefully mentioned "the borders of the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 127

Herzegovina on the part of the territory that belongs to it", but it is primarily clear which countries are bordering and if there was some mistake they will correct that. Ms. Ignjatović invited for written comments in the coming period. And, she invited Focal points if they have some comments to say.

* Mr. Kenjić said he looked at the Roof report and it should be taken into consideration that this meeting was called in the announcement as a final meeting and he expected it should be some final version of this report, but in the report itself is was saying it will be modified. He recorded some remarks, some of them are technical and some are not. For instance, on page 3., some dates are given regarding of delivery of WEAP model and he thinks it is a technical mistake and it should be corrected. He added on page 3., the second paragraph of the report on public consultation is written in the future time - it should be updated in line with the reached level ie. status. On page 3., an annual report is mentioned again, but that is probably an internal report between them and the World Bank, and he thinks there is no place in that paragraph. Then, in the "topographic features” section are mixed some altitudes which should be updated. Mr. Kenjić means it would be logical the roof report has a chapter which does not have to be too extensive but something that would in some way speak about climate change or the potential impact of climate change. In further chapters, it has been repeated several times that the impact of climate change is taken into account, etc. but he thinks it would be good to have a shorter chapter based on current knowledge and projects that have done so far to describe a little about what it is, what climate change means and in what direction it should continue to be dealt with. Mr. Kenjić noted in a table review of the status of the National Park "Drina" and thinks that it was not written properly. Further, on page 25. there is probably a translation error, and the term "drain of the dam" is, he drew attention to seeing it and see if that's exactly the case. On page 50, in the paragraph on jurisdiction for awarding concessions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is necessary to make a little improvement in order to have a full picture, in order to fully know what is which role and how things work. On page 58. the report was mentioned that an exhaustively or detailed list, a recommendation, will be given in the final version of the roof report. Mr. Kenjić noted that he liked to have that list now in this report, because it is not clear how this work will continue to be conducted and further communication for this project. So these were some key comments and one that is not clear to him (and he would like to send it to a representative of the World Bank who is not here today) and that is how they will bring this project to completion and what is the ultimate authority that will respect everyone results and work on this project. And it will obviously have to agree in some future communication. And, what particular attention would be drawn to Mr. Kenjić's are comments from the representatives of Elektroprivreda and he is sorry that they did not stay here to talk a bit about this whole story yet, but added that the essence of this project was not to create a document that will be used for the adoption of final decision, what will be made of hydroelectric facilities in the future. It is simply not the goal of this project nor anyone expects these documents to have such importance. On the other hand, we have the situation that on December 12th the Regional Hydro Energy Development Strategies for the Western Balkans will be presented. And some of the participants were involved in all these activities and they saw how complicated it is, how difficult the story was when optimization and quantification of individual hydropower plants and future hydroelectric facilities became involved, and what could be said or told at official meetings only to defend someone's interests or position. So this project has got a little bit, when it began to quantify in some way and perform multi-criteria optimizations to get to a list of projects or priorities so that everything they thought or outlined here as the first short-term and medium-term priority they see how receive comments, although what has been stated here has not been dismissed as an option but simply given as an option, but for a slightly longer period of time because it has entered into one scenario. So he thinks that the consulting team with the representatives of various institutions should look at the results of this hydro-energy master plan and simply look at these final results and see if there is a significant difference and in line with the identification or potential difference between the results two projects will see what attitude will be taken and possibly if something needs to be further explained or pointed out, and possibly improved. But he thinks that it should not end in the situation that the results of a project are used to devaluate the results of another project and it is not anyone's interest. At the end of his presentation, Mr. Kenjić thanked.

World Bank Drina River Basin Consultation Report Support to Water Resources Management in the Drina River Basin 128

* Ms. Ignjatović thanked Mr. Kenjić for his presentation and mentioned remarks. Regarding to the World Bank, everything was being recorded, but she asked to send all the comments. And, regarding to this final report whether it will be in the final report, it’s a bad formulation and she said it will be fixed. Such a report is presented today. Regarding to the World Bank and continuation of the project, she presumes they will have meeting with them, what and how they are planning, and she will inform them about it. Especially this part of the story, or more precisely in the end, it is important not to remain undetected and it is important to plan and fill it. Mr. Kenjić addressed Jovanka saying that if she considers it to be a final report, then his further and very important comment is that all the recommendations made and currently are in the report do not reflect all those conclusions that should arise from IPF reports, state report, etc. He thinks that this roof report must systematise all the recommendations that have come through the whole process and project documentation. Now there are quite modest conclusions, for example, the conclusion about the floods, he thinks that there are only two conclusions, which are not exactly written in a way that they include all the others and they should not be so modest in formulating these conclusions. He thinks that this is very important because the results of this project will be further used to prepare a strategic action plan for the document in the next project that the states formally need to adopt. Mr. Kenjić added that it is very important that at least these recommendations are systematized and as detailed as possible. Ms. Ignjatović then invited Marija Lazarević to address. Ms. Lazarević said that in general, she would not agrees with colleague that this project should be extended because it has been prolonged long enough and obviously the capacity of this team is not in the same size that it can give some better recommendations, she thinks this is the maximum that is given that some point should be placed and they should move on with some other activities. In any case, as far as the Republic of Serbia is concerned, the WEAP model is the biggest benefit of this project, especially since these are currently in the phase of preparing the management plan and what they are doing, they are at the beginning. But they also have a design plan and this is definitely a model that can be used, as the professor said for strategic planning. It is now up to them to see how this will be implemented, definitely through Public Water Management Companies, but she thinks it's really useful and needs to be worked on. As far as the bilateral cooperation itself is concerned, no project is the one that can determine whether the states will cooperate and think that everyone stands behind the need to establish bilateral co-operation and that is what is lacking. But, should in the project will write whether it should work or not, will not change much. Ms. Lazarević added that there is no bilateral cooperation with the Republic of Srpska, but there is a signed Memorandum of Cooperation on the Drina River Basin, and these activities have been stopped, but this year they started again and thinks that there will be cooperation and they hope that the cooperation will be and with the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ms. Lazarević said that she thinks that everyone should use the WEAP model and that some cooperation should be done on that. Ms. Ignjatović concluded the meeting and in the end thanked everyone for spent time not only today but also during the project, on spent time on reading this document and because they came to the meetings. And without their work, this project could not be implemented. She invited participants to deliver their comments in next 10 days, the ones that are presented today, and also if they have something else. They will include them and talk to the team about how to do this final, and there will also be a conversation with the World Bank, when they have some information they will share them with everyone.
