Hydropower scheme on Neretva river threatens ecosystems, communities in Bosnia, Croatia

The Upper Horizons hydropower project on the Neretva river, which flows from Bosnia to the Adriatic via Croatia, risks permanently altering the river's ecosystems and local livelihoods. The project's scope and environmental impact remain contested, with concerns over biodiversity loss and displacement. This matters as it could set a precedent for transboundary water management in the Balkans.
