The global objective is to reduce municipal pollution and nutrients in the Adriatic Sea and the Danube Basin. The sub-objectives are: (i) develop the Wastewater Improvement Plan; (ii) further strengthen the Joint BiH/Croatian Working group, with coordination from Serbia and Montenegro to implement the Wastewater Improvement Plan; (iii) develop and implement high-priority, low-cost water capital investments; and (iv) disseminate information in BiH and the region for replication of project activities at other priority sites in the Balkans.

The project is progressing towards the achievement of it s Development Objectives. With Additional Co-financing (US$ 8.8 million) approved to support sub-projects in Zivinice and Mostar, the project closing date has been extended till 31 August 2015. Rehabilitation of the Trnovo and Odzak Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) has been completed and the plants are fully operational. There are two main project activities on-going: development of new wastewater treatment plants in Mostar and Zivinice. Three major studies have been completed: (i) a study on a Wastewater Improvement Plan for reducing River Pollution (WIS), (ii) a study on the Biological Monitoring of the Rivers and Lakes/Reservoirs in BiH (BMS), and (iii) a Feasibility study on low-cost, natural treatment of wastewater.
