The report looks at how Bosnia and Herzegovina manages its trash and what needs to be done to make it better. It focuses on the costs of waste management and how joining the EU could affect those costs. The study shows that the current costs are high, which might mean things are not being done efficiently. It also finds that municipalities need a clearer way to figure out how much they spend on waste services. This report is the first to look at the financial side of waste management in Bosnia and Herzegovina and how following EU rules could change things.
