FIRST POSTWAR HYDROELECTRIC PLANT PEC MLINI PUT INTO
OPERATION
GRUDE, September 2 (FENA) – BiH Presidency
member Dragan Covic and General Director of Elektroprivreda “HZ Herceg-Bosna”
Vlado Maric on Thursday have put into operation the first postwar hydroelectric
plant Pec Mlini, whose facilities are in Municipality Grude.
The
electric plant will use the power of river Vrljika, which is collected in the
compensation pool Nuga.
Although
the project value of the said plant was estimated at 74 million KM, it was
completed with only 60 million KM, said Maric, adding that this saving will be
the basis for launching construction of hydroelectric plant Mostarsko blato,
adding that the construction works could be launched late next year. The
project of building hydroelectric plant Mostarsko blato is worth approx. 100
million KM.
The
funds for building Pec Mlini were insured by the Zagreb Bank with a long-term
mortgage credit of 30 million KM, while Elektroprivreda HZ Herceg-Bosna
provided 50 percent of the funds.
BiH
Presidency member Dragan Covic said that this is a very significant project,
because four years ago when the cornerstone was laid, many had doubts about its
completion.
“This
area must be provided with adequate infrastructure, the matter of water supply
for the entire Herzegovina must be resolved, as well as the problematic of
disposing of waste waters“, stressed Covic.
Director
of hydroelectric plant Pec Mlini Zivko Mikulic said that the plant has the
installed strength of 15 MGW times two, and will produce 83, 2 GWh of electric
power per year.
Apart
from producing electric energy, the great significance of this plant is in
function of protection from floods, better use of agricultural land and
development of tourism.
The
ceremony of opening the hydroelectric plant Pec Mlini in Grude was attended by
the FBiH Government delegation headed by Prime Minister Ahmet Hadzipasic, as
well as the officials of cantons Herzegovina-Neretva and Western
Herzegovina .

VISIT TO LIBYA
OPENS MANY DOORS FOR BiH ECONOMY
SARAJEVO,
September 2 (FENA) – BiH and Libyan chambers of commerce have signed a trade
agreement during the visit of BiH political-economic delegation to Libya, which
indicates establishment of business cooperation, said BiH Council of Ministers
Chair Adnan Terzic upon the return of our delegation from the Great Socialist
People’s Arab Libyan Jamahiriya.
He
said that arrangements have also been made for harmonizing a framework
agreement that will define relations between the two countries, as well as the
agreements that will enable protection of investments of both countries,
evading double taxation, as well as several agreements on scientific and
technical cooperation.
“The
Libyan Prime Minister and I have agreed to meet every three to four months, and
in the meantime the relevant ministries will be cooperating fully. It was an
extraordinary visit that will primarily open many doors to BiH economy”, said
Terzic.
He
indicated that talks in Libya
also focused on the subject of exchanging oil for water, but stressed that,
considering that these energy sources are not of the same category, Libyans are
not keen on discussing this subject with the rest of the world.
“However,
we have offered hydroelectric power and they were interested in this. They have
promised to send representatives of their foreign investments agency to assess
the possibilities for their appearance in this area”, said Terzic.
He
added that this visit has created great possibilities for cooperation in the
fields of building housing facilities, using the hydro-energetic potentials in
both countries, cooperation and transfer of technologies in the sectors of
telecommunications, agriculture, etc.
