Case Description
Complaint
The complaint concerned the alleged invalidity of the Banja Luka — Doboj Motorway Subdivision Plan.
EIB-CM Action
The EIB-CM analysed the relevant legislation in Republika Srpska (RS), Bosnia and Herzegovina; asked specific questions on the validity of the project’s subdivision plan and received the relevant responses.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The EIB-CM considered the explanation provided by the promoter concerning the publication of the subdivision plans as reasonable. The EIB-CM noted that the plan is permanently accessible to the public in the relevant local authorities upon request. The EIB-CM noted that the RS Constitutional Court is the institution responsible for taking the view about validity (legality) of the project’s subdivision plan. Its decisions are public and the court proceedings are not subject to court tax.
The EIB-CM concluded that the allegation is ungrounded with respect to the role of the EIB. Therefore, the EIB-CM did not make any specific recommendations in this respect.
