Article 6 of the Protocol states: 1. Each Party shall undertake Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment for its part of the Sava River Basin, taking into account the Directive 2007/60/EC 2. In the process of Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment, the Parties shall exchange all relevant data, in principle, through the Sava Commission or bilaterally, as appropriate 3. In the case of bilateral exchange of the relevant data from paragraph 2 of this Article, the latter shall also be delivered to the Sava Commission, without delay 4. Based on the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment, each Party shall, on the part of the Sava River Basin on its territory, identify those areas for which it concludes that potential significant flood risk exists or might be considered likely to occur 5. Each Party shall, through the Sava Commission, inform the other Parties on the identified areas from Paragraph 4 of this Article – Prepared by the 6. The Sava Commission shall coordinate the activities on harmonization of the areas identified pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article shared by two or more Parties, identified by the Parties as the areas of mutual interestISRBC for flood in 2014 protection

Workshop on Flood Risk Management Measures & Links to EU WFD 6 Flood Maps
Article 7 of the Protocol states: 1. Each Party shall prepare Flood Maps for the areas identified in the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment as referred to in Article 6 of this Protocol for the part of the Sava river basin under its jurisdiction, taking into account the Directive 2007/60/EC 2. Each Party shall, through the Sava Commission, inform other Parties on the Flood Maps prepared for its territory 3. The respective Parties shall agree upon the methodology for mapping of the flood areas shared by two or more Parties, identified according to the Article 6 paragraph 4 of this Protocol, and, thereof, inform the Sava Commission 4. The Parties may, for purpose of joint implementation of the activities from paragraph 1 of this Article, agree to develop a joint methodology for preparation of Flood Maps for the whole Sava River Basin 5. The Sava Commission shall coordinate the development of the Methodology from paragraph 4 of this Article
Workshop on Flood Risk Management Measures & Links to EU WFD 7 Sava Flood Risk Management Plan
Article 8 of the Protocol states: 1. The Parties shall prepare the Flood Risk Management Plan for the Sava River Basin, in accordance with the content defined by the Directive 2007/60/EC, and taking into account all relevant aspects of flood risk management 2. The flood Risk Management Plan shall, in particular, define the goals of the flood risk management of common interest on the Sava River basin level 3. Taking into account the principle of solidarity and the no harm rule in accordance with the Article 9 of the FASRB, the Flood Risk Management Plan for the territory of one Party shall not stipulate measures that may, by their magnitude or impact, significantly increase the flood risk on the territory of the other Party, unless those measures are coordinated and agreed between the Parties concerned 4. The Sava Commission shall coordinate the development of the Flood Risk Management Plan 5. Flood Risk Management Plan shall be adopted by the Parties, upon proposal of the Sava Commission
WBIF project - Improvement of Joint Flood Management Actions in the Sava River Basin
• Approved in June 2014 by WBIF and WB • Geographical coverage: 5 countries (BA, HR, ME, RS, SI) • Beneficiaries: BA, ME, RS • Components – Flood Risk Management Plan for the Sava River Basin, including Programme of Measures (Component 1) – Flood Forecasting and Warning System for the basin (Component 2) • Budget:2,0 mil EUR Workshop on Flood Risk Management Measures & Links to EU WFD 8 WBIF project - Component 1 Flood Risk Management Plan for the Sava River Basin, including the Programme of measures, with the following main components:
• A summary of the conclusions relevant for the basin, drawn from the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment, flood hazard and risk maps • Setting up of the list of Programme of Measures relevant for the basin as a whole and description of the proposed prioritisation, timing and manner of implementing the PoM including details of the bodies responsible for implementation • In determining the proposed measures for achieving the objectives, the Plan shall have regard to: – The costs and benefits of different methods of managing the flood risk – The information included in the flood hazard and risk maps – The river basin management plan for the basin – The effect of floodplains that retain flood water – The WFD environmental objectives – The climate change impacts – The transboundary impacts of the proposed measures • The Plan shall also provide a proposal of: – Modes of cooperation of the Sava countries in the flood defence emergency situations – Arrangements in the basin for forecasting and warning – Environmental Impact Assessment Study for the PoM. The study should ensure ecological foundations for identification of special environment protection requirements. Specifically, a said study shall define type and level of PoM realization impact on environment, as well as optimum mitigation measures aimed at reducing, or eliminating, harmful impacts
