Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia share the Sava River Basin. As the after effects of the devastating war in the region have subsided, these countries have started to cooperate on environmental issues.
The development of the Sava River Basin Plan is an example. Nevertheless, involving all the stakeholders is a sensitive task. In 2010 GWP Mediterranean began collaborating with the International Sava River Basin Commission, the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE) and the Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development (MIO-ECSDE) to prepare a Sava River Stakeholders Involvement Plan and develop practical tools to engage local and national Partners in cooperating to manage shared water resources.
