AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoWaste Crisis in Lika: Croatia’s government says it will urgently handle about 650 tonnes of waste from the former PPK Velebit site in Gospić by sending it to Holcim Croatia and Nexe for energetic recovery on a tight 45-day timeline, after earlier tender delays and public anger over disposal plans. Incineration Debate: The same coverage reignites the bigger question of thermal treatment: Croatia is described as the only EU country without a waste incinerator, raising pressure to decide where waste will be treated as landfill capacity runs out. Mandarin Harvest Watch: In the Neretva Valley, growers expect an average mandarin crop but warn of smaller early fruit and Mediterranean fruit fly pressure after a dry, very hot season. Geothermal Progress: A GreetGEO study tour highlighted ongoing geothermal work in Bjelovar (Wellovar thermal spa construction) and Krizevci, showing how EU-funded projects are moving from drilling to new thermal facilities. Energy Security in the Region: Reporting on EU oil-stock rules points to ongoing uncertainty for Slovakia and Hungary over whether the Adria pipeline can continuously cover refinery needs after emergency stock use. Climate & Wildfire Risk: Serbia’s wildfire crisis is framed as a wider Western Balkans warning, with heat and drought linked to climate change and escalating ecological damage.
