BIH/ EBRD SUPPORTS WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

www.ebrd.com The EBRD and the European Union are helping to improve the quality of water
 services in Bosnia and Herzegovina by financing the expansion of the water supply
 infrastructure in the municipality of Čapljina, in the south of the country.

 The EBRD is providing a €5 million sovereign loan while the EU is supporting the investment
 with €4.5 million provided under its Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance which is
 administered and managed by the Bank.

 The financing will be used by the municipal public utility company JP Komunalno Čapljina
 to expand the water supply network in sub-urban areas and to replace outdated water meters.

 The project will connect about 2,300 new consumers to water supply systems and will
 contribute to raising the living standards of the population in the rural parts of the
 Čapljina municipality.

To date, the EBRD has invested more than €1.6 billion, in some 110 projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a focus on infrastructure development, support for small and medium-sized enterprises, and strengthening the financial sector.

Since the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the European Union has provided the country with more than €3 billion in assistance funds.
