Croatia's parliament approved a radioactive waste disposal facility on Monday at a site less than a kilometre from Bosnia and Herzegovina, defying years of protests from neighbours who say the project threatens a quarter of a million people.
The law provides the regulatory basis for building a facility at Čerkezovac on Trgovska Gora to store waste from the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, which Croatia co-owns with Slovenia, as well as radioactive waste from Croatian hospitals and industry.
