AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoRadioactive Waste Dispute: Bosnia and Herzegovina is set to join a cross-border environmental impact assessment for Croatia’s planned low- and medium-level radioactive waste storage on Trgovska Gora, seeking access to full documentation and a chance to comment—after expert research in BiH says the site is unsuitable and legal experts warn Croatia chose the location before the assessment was finished. Heat Relief in Central Europe: A cold shift is easing extreme heat across Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Balkans, with temperatures dropping below 30 and scattered thunderstorms offering some drought relief, though wildfire risk may remain high. Disposable Vapes Crackdown: More European countries are moving toward bans on disposable e-cigarettes, driven by youth use concerns and the single-use battery/plastic waste problem—Slovenia is among those debating similar rules. Energy Costs Snapshot: A new ranking shows European households paying the highest energy bills, with Sweden leading—useful context for Slovenia as summer demand and prices keep households under pressure. Border Travel Friction: The EU’s Entry-Exit System (EES) is causing long queues at some Schengen borders due to rollout teething issues, adding friction to summer travel plans.
