The Ministry of the Economy, Trade and Energy (MoETE) drafts industrial waste management policy and collects statistics on the generation, recycling and disposal of industrial waste. The Ministry of Health bears responsibility for medical waste. In cooperation with the Institute of Public Health (IPH) and the State Sanitary Inspectorate (SSI), the Ministry of Health is responsible for monitoring the quality of drinking water and bathing water. According to the existing legislation, the municipalities and regions are responsible for municipal waste management (collection, transportation, treatment and final disposal). They also bear the responsibility for preparing local and regional waste management plans, suggesting the appropriate location for landfills in their territory and defining the fees. Municipalities can subcontract companies to perform certain tasks within the waste management systems. Administrative capacity in the environment sector remains generally weak in Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the EC, the human and technical capacities of the inspectorates are inadequate to ensure compliance with environmental legislation at entity, canton and local level (EC SEC [2009] 1338).

Some institutions are already in place and have started their work. In the MoEPP, a unit is foreseen with the primary role of implementing IPA projects in the environment sector, and in 2008 only six persons were engaged for this unit. According to the National Plan for the Adoption of the Acquis (NPAA), this unit should engage 20 persons for the successful implementation of the projects. It is therefore clear that, in the current situation, the structure is insufficient for dealing with IPA projects; and accreditation is still missing. Following their recruitment, new staff members will require training and capacity building in order to prepare them for their future duties. Sufficient time must therefore be planned for the starting phase. S T R AT E G I C M O V E S The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations (MoFTER) and entity ministries are responsible for the environmental directives. More specifically, the ministries of health, the institutes for public health, the municipalities and the cantons are responsible for the implementation of the Drinking Water Directive. Waste management is handled at both state and entity levels. Solid waste management laws applicable to each entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina are developed and approved at entity level. Efforts are made to harmonise legislation in the entities. At federal level, waste issues fall under the responsibility of MoFTER. Municipalities are responsible for organising waste management services, usually through the department of communal affairs. The municipalities have attempted to compensate for the weakness of the national legislation in the waste sector by enforcing local regulations on waste management. The Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry and the Federal Ministry of Physical Planning, Environment and Tourism are responsible for river basin management in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Republika Srpska, this responsibility belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management. There has been overall progress in Croatia in terms of administrative capacity. However, the number of staff recruited is generally lower than is required to set up adequate administrative capacities at national, regional and local level. Improved coordination mechanisms and decision-making procedures are needed, given the high level of fragmentation of environmental responsibilities across ministries and public bodies (EC SEC [2009] 1333). In Croatia, the Ministry for Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction (MoEPPPC) is responsible for the waste sector at the national level. Two important bodies in relation to financing environmental infrastructure are the Croatian Environment Agency and the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (EPEEF), which assists the waste sector in the preparation of technical documentation and IPA applications. Responsibility for water management and for public water utilities is centralised under Croatian Waters, a governmental institution. The Ministry of Regional De-
