Croatian Prime Minister Plenkovic said a meeting was held with the Scientific Advisory Council as part of efforts to clean up illegally stored waste in Gospic.

Plenkovic said the meeting addressed the steps to be taken for the removal of the waste and that the necessary procedures had been initiated to transport waste contained in large bags and temporarily cover buried waste. The recommendations of the scientific advisory council and different methods for removing the buried waste were also evaluated.

Plenkovic emphasized that environmental, hydrogeological and health-related factors are priorities in the work, stating that the aim is to protect human health and the environment.

In this context, in addition to regular measurements, additional analyses of water and air quality are being carried out to protect public health. Plenkovic noted that, according to all monitored parameters, the water supplied from the public drinking water network is safe for health.

Plenkovic said no deviations beyond the permitted values had been detected in the current measurements of environmental factors.
