PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This report gives an outsider's view on the development and present situation of the environmentalmovement in Croatian society. It is a reflection of dozens of discussions which the authors had withactive people from the movement and environmental experts from 26 April tili 2 May, 1996. Purposeof the discussions was to get a good insight view on the needs and capacity of the Croatianenvironmental movement, and to assess the possibilities for support.

The study could never have been successfully completed without the participation of manyindividuals and NGOs in Croatia. AH persons we met provided us with information and openlyshared their opinion with us. From many sides we received support in making practical arrangements.But above ali we were surprised by the hospitality and friendship we received.

We especially would like to thank here the following persons:- Igor Markovic our guide, interpreter and companion during our trips outside Zagreb.- Toni Vidan and Kata Japuncic who helped with making arrangements and helped to put ali the

different stories we heard into perspective.- Lydia Pavic who gave a good, general overview of the Croatian movement.- Vladimir Lay who showed us beautiful Istria and increased our understanding of the social

situation in which Croatian environmental groups have to operate.- The staff of the Society of Improvement of the Quality of Life (especially Nenad Maljkovic and

Zlatko Pejic) who invited us to come to Croatia and \velcomed us during the Green Forum.- Joep Wijnands of the embassy of the Netherlands and Robert Dijksterhuis of the Dutch ministry

of foreign affairs who made it financial possible to make this study. They also gave us valuablebackground information on the political situation in Croatia.

CHAPTERl INTRODUCTION

1.1 CAUSEANDGOALOFTHEVISIT

The direct cause of the visit was a request from the Croatian NGO Society for Improvement ofQuality of Life (SIQL) for support from the Dutch support program "MATRA", run by the DutchMinistry of Foreign Affairs and (in the ae of Croatia) the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Zagreb.The request from SIQL for support concerned the project called "KRUG" to set up a service centrefor Croatian NGOs. Condition from MATRA to support any project is the participation of a Dutchorganisation. Therefore Milieukontakt Oost-Europa was asked to become involved in the "KRUG"project of SIQL.

Milieukontakt Oost-Europa is an independent organisation founded in 1988 by four Dutch and oneinternational environmental NGOs to support environmental movements in Central and EasternEurope, and to stimulate bilateral contacts betvveen organisations from the Netherlands and Centraland Eastern Europe. Milieukontakt is currently active in 10 CEE countries, but did not work inCroatia since 1993. .,

In order to assess if and how Milieukontakt could give a constructive contribution to the "KRUG"project, or in general to the environmental movement, we noticed that we first need to know what thecurrent capacity and needs of the movement are, especially after the rapid changes due to the post-socialism circumstances and the Vugoslav war. Therefore we paid a visit to Croatian organisationsand individuals familiar with and active in the environmental movement.

Thus, the goal of the visit, held from 26 April tili 2 May 1996, was to get a good inside vievv onthe needs and capacity of the Croatian environmental movement, and to assess the possibilities forsupport.

1.2 CHOICEOFVlSITS

Because of limited available time we had to choose which organisations to visit in order to get arepresentative picture of the movement. Apart from NGOs in Zagreb, visits to NGOs in the north-western (akovec) and \vestern part (Bakar, Rijeka, Opatija, Pula and Oprtalj) of Croatia werearranged (see also map in Annex IV). Travelling to the South-East and North-East was not possible inthe given time. However, the visit coincided with the annual Green Forum, where several NGOs fromoutside Zagreb could be met (Osijek, Dubrovnik and ibenik). One of the authors paid visits toenvironmental NGOs ali over Croatia in October 1994, through vvhich second-hand information aboutother NGOs and regions could be put into perspective.

Most of the NGOs vvhich were met can be considered to be the 'new generation' of environmentalorganisations in Croatia; they mostly have young, enthusiastic members who started to become activeduring the last few years. Authors are aware that apart from these NGOs based on the youngergeneration, there are many other type of environmental NGOs vvhich could not be visited. Thev areshortly described in chapter 3.

Next to visiting NGOs, we paid visits to other organisations or individuals dealing with theenvironmental movement:

- Mrs. Lidija Pavic, Croatian office of Regional Environmental Center (REC);- Mr. Velemir Pravdic, Professor at the Center for Marine Research and member of Croatian

Ecological Society;- Mrs. Branka-Marija Muvrin, radio journalist of environmental programs;- Mrs. Vesna Terelic, active in the peace movement and member of REC Local Advisory Board;- Dr. Inge Perko-eparovic, Professor at the Political Faculty and former president of Croatian

Green Alliance; and

- Mr. Joep Wijnands, Royal Netherlands Embassy (who runs part of the MATRA program forsupporting civil initiatives in Croatia).

Unfortunately the visit to the State Agency for Environmental Protetion of the Ministryresponsible for environment didn't take place because of a double appointment from their side. Acomplete lists of organisations and individuals met can be found in Annex I.

1.3 ABOUT THE REPORTWe gave this report, which is a reflection of the visit, the title "Croatian Environmental

Movement after Socialism and War; Report ofa Visit Held in May 1996 to Assess the Needs andCapacity ofthe Croatian Environmental Movement". The input to the report is a mixture ofinformation from publications, discussions and own observations. Especially that last ingredient(information from ovvn observations) gives this report a subjective character. This is done onpurpose: in order to understand the situation in Croatia better, we need to interpret the informationand put it into perspective. We realise that we might have misunderstood or misinterpreted certainthings. We would appreciate you teli us if and where we did, or would like to hear your opinion.Because this report is not meant to be a factual study, but rather a starting point hovv best to supportthe environmental movement in a developing civic society.

The contents ofthe report is as follows. A good understanding ofthe development and presentsituation of the movement should be seen in the light of the environmental, social and politicalconditions. Therefore, we first give a short overview of these external factors the movement has todeal with in chapter 2. In chapter 3 we take a closer look to the environmental movement; this chapteris primarily based upon the visits to the variou organisations. Chapter 4 gives a brief overvievv of thesupport that environmental organisations already receive or can turn to. In chapter 5 we come to theconclusions and recommendations.

In the annexes please find data such as lists of NGOs and organisations met, a map of Croatia anda list of some used literature.

Finally, we apologise that we did not manage to use ali the proper Croatian characters in theCroatian names in this report. The characters C, C, and Z had to be denoted as C, C, and Z,respectively.

CHAPTER 2 SOME RELEVANT COUNTRV CHARACTERISTICS

In this chapter we give some characteristics of the country which are of direct influence of thedevelopment of the environmental movement, such as the effects of the war in Yugoslavia over thepast years, the current political situation and the environmental problems the movement is confrontedwith. The references to the used literature is in italics between brackets; a list of used literature can befound in Annex V.

2.1 TOWARDSINDEPENDENCE

After the fali of the Habsburg-Hungarian empire (First World War), the territory of Croatiabecame part of the newly formed state Yugoslavia. After the Second World War the partians underleadership of Josip Broz (Tito) formed the communist party which ruled Yugoslavia since. Togetherwith Slovenia, Croatia was among the vvealthier republics of Vugoslavia. Important factor in this wastourism, which boomed especially along the Adriatic coastline during the seventies. Yugoslaviapreserved its natural assets and developed its environmental policy quite well during communist rule,especially when compared to other Central and Eastern European countries. This, added with the ownpolitical course (independent from Soviet Union), relative freedom of travelling and speech, and theexistence of some kind of opposition, makes Yugoslavia uncomparable to any of the other Centraland Eastern European countries, also when it comes to the environmental situation and developmentof civil initiatives.

Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. The Serbian population of Krajinarebelled against this independence by proclaiming its own Serbian Republic of Krajina. A civil warbroke out the same year. Altogether about one-third of the country was occupied by Croat Serbs,including the Krajina and vvestern and eastern Slavonia. The Croatian national army failed toreconquering the occupied territories at the beginning of 1993. Shortly after a truce was agreed uponwhich lasted tili 1995. The Croatian army managed to reconquer most of the territories in 1995:vvestern Slavonia in May and the entire Krajina in August. To date, a diplomatic solution is stillsought for Serb held eastern Slavonia.

The civil war had of course immense impacts on the country, also affecting environment relatedissues. For instance, the annual inflation rate in 1993 was around 1500%, and 40% of public spendingwent to defence [European Forum]. This left no room for necessary investments for e.g. municipalwaste water treatment facilities and environmental policy. Three national parks and great part ofCroatia's national values were in occupied territories, some of the areas were damaged or destroyed,others not taken care of (this also had positive effects because pressure from tourism ame to a halt).Some industrial objects were hit or destroyed during attacks, such as the Sisak refmery and the povverplant in Osijek, in both cases oil spills occuired. The direct impact on settlements was tremendous,many of them are completely destroyed. Last consequence we mention here, which is of directinfluence to the environmental NGOs activities, is that political and public attention was drawnprimarily to the civil war and its effects, leaving little space for dealing with environmental problems.

2.2 POLITICAL SITUATIONThe Croatian parliament is dominated by HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) of which President

Tudjman is also the founder and party leader. HDZ gained 45.2% of the votes in the October 1995elections, and through the complicated electoral system has a majority in the House ofRepresentatives [European Forum]. Hence HDZ does not need a coalition party to form agovernment. HDZ is also the major party in local governments.

Through the one-sided political situation it is often hard for opposition parties and interesi groupsto influence policy, or even communicate with decision makers both on the national as local level.

The government controls almost ali the media; television, radio and most of the printed press is eitherrun, controlled or censored by the government. The Croatian government so far has made only minorsteps to privatise state property; most companies and services are still state owned.

2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATIONMaio Features

The Republic of Croatia territory covers 56*538 sq. km., it comprises three main regions; thePannonic zone, the mountainous zone, and the littoral zone. The pannonic part of Croatia comprisesthe northern part of the region, with the Sava, Drava, and Danube rivers as its boundaries. The soil is,for the most part, very fertile, suitable for farming, animal husbandry and livestock breeding, its partscovered with well-preserved, highly valuable forest vegetation. A part of the area concerned ischaracterised by the greatest concentration of Croatian cities and industries. The mountainous areaoccupies the centra! part of Croatia, which is also the most forested one. It is the most sparselypopulated, least developed area. The littoral area is a relatively narrow coastal zone by the AdriaticSea. Tourism is especially developed in this littoral zone. [National Report]

Croatia's most important natural resources are fertile soil, forests, surface and undergroundwatefs, the Adriatic Sea, and numerous monumental areas, protected for their specific features andvalue. The most important energy soiirces include crude oil and natural gas, found in the Pannonicbasin and low-lying coastal regions, supplying about two-third of Croatia's requirments in this field[Vidan, pers.]. With the exception of bauxite, no considerable reserves of metal raw materials havebeen registered. However, there are relatively abundant reserves of nonmetal raw materials. [NationalReport]

Tendenv During Last Decades

The Croatian environment was little affected by negative influences before the 60's. Since thattime, however, industrialisation increased rapidly, and - like in other European countries - withouttaking concern about the negative effects on the environment and natural values. The CroatianRepublic in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia developed relatively high standards in environmentallegislation during the 70's and 80'. However, governmental bodies were not able to counter theenvironmental pressure from rapid economic development completely with effective environmentalpolicy and measures.

Nevertheless, a relatively high degree of public and expert awareness during the last two decadesresulted in some positive examples such as adopting a moratorium on building nuclear power plants,excellent mainainance of "Plitvika jezera" National Park, a great number of protected areas andrelatively strong monitoring. [Vidan]

During the last five years new environmental problems emerged. As mentioned previously, theYugosiav war had direct negative impact to environmental protection (such as uncontrolled wastedisposal, water pollution prevention, transborder problems), or directly damaged nature (e.g.destrution of parks and protected areas) and environment (leakages of chemicals from destructedindrusty, esp. near Sisak). Now that Croatia builds up its damaged regions and economicdevelopment is increasing rapidly, the pressure to natural and environmental conditions is alsoincreasing. Examples are the construction of the motorway Zagreb-Rijeka through a nature area, theplanned construction of a riew power plant ("Plomin II") and planned dams in the Drava river.

2.4 MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSCroatia can be considered a relativelv clean countrv - when compared to Central and Eastern

European, and most Western European countries - with many environmental problems. The naturalvalues are rather well protected, though the pressure on nature and environment from economicdevelopment is mounting rapidly. In this chapter a brief overvievv of the main problems.Drinking Water and Rivers

Despite deficit surface water potentials in her karst part, Croatia has favourable condition forsatisfactory and long-term water supplies for urban centres, settlements, and industry. The quality ofdrinking water is generally good. Because of draught in summers, there is sometimes shortage ofdrinking water in the coastal and karst areas. The quality of vvaters, however, is increasinglyendangered by still insufficient waste water treatments, the dumping of major part of dangerouswastes, and an inefficient control. [National Report]

The quality of Croatian rivers are characterised as 15% being of 'good quality'', 60% as 'fairquality'2, 15% as 'poor quality'3, and 10% as 'bad quality'4 [Europe's Environment]. The majorrivers, Sava, Drava and Danube, with its tributaries are moderately to heavily polluted. The Sava isthe most polluted river ('poor to bad' quality), especially because of untreated waste waters fromZagreb and the industrial city Sisak, and to a lesser extend from the cities Slavonski Brod andBosanski Brod. The quality of the Drava river is 'fair to poor', while the Danube river on Croatianterritory is characterised as being of 'fair' quality. [Vidan]

Coastal WatersThe vvaters of the Adriatic Sea along the Croatian shore are generally of good quality. Over 95%

of the volume of sea water is extremely well-preserved [National Report]. Hovvever, because ofdischarge of untreated sewage waters near residential areas, and especially because of industrialpollution and catastrophies near major harbors and industrial areas (Pula, Rijeka, Bakar Bay, Split)the vvater quality in some spots is of poor or sometimes even bad quality. The shallovv vvaters(average depth up to 20 m) of the northern part of the Adriatic Sea (near Rijeka and Bakar) is themost threatened part [National Report]. It is threatened by intensive economic activities and pollutionfrom Italian coastal vvaters. A major oil spill occurred in March 1996 in Bakar Bay. The Bay nearRijeka is often unsuitable as svvimming vvater.

SoilIn the Pannonian region (the fertile part of Croatia) soil degradation occurs predominantly because

of urbanisation and intensive agriculture. The use of fertilisers and chemicals is mostly uncontrolled.The soils of the karstic area along the Adriatic coast are degraded mainly by erosion. Though theseare natural processes, the major cause of these erosions is of logging throughout the last centuries.Acidification of the soil is nation-wide and primarily from transboundary origin. [National Report,Vidan]

'good quality': river reaches with nutrient-poor water, low levels of organic matter; saturated with dissolved oxygen; rich inveitebratefauna; suitable spanwning ground for salmonoid fish

'fair quality": river reaches with moderate organic pollution and nutrient content; good oxygen conditions; rich flora and fauna; largefish population

; 'poor quality': river reaches vvith heavy orgvanic pollution; oxygen concentration usually lo\v; sediment locally anaerobic; occasionalblooming of organisms insensitive to oxygen depletion; smoli or absent fish population; periodic fish kili

'bad quality': river reaches with excessive organic pollution; prolonged periods of very low oxygen concentration or total deoxygenation;anaerobic sediment, severe toxic input; devoid of fish

Air

Up to 60% of air pollution in Croatia comes from transboundary sources [National Report]. Othersources are heavy industry, thermoelectric povver plants and traffic. The most important polutants aresulfor dioxide, smoke and specific contamination in the industrial regions (specially Bakar Bay andKutina). The most affected area is the region of Gorski Kotar (near Rijeka), mainly by acidprecipitation and sedimentation of sulphates and nitrates. High air pollution levels have beenmeasured in Rijeka, Zagreb, Sisak, ibenik and Split. Only the Plomin Power Plant (on Istriapeninsula) uses coal, while the other power plants are mainly working with oil which results in lowerpollution compared to coal driven plants. [Cari in: REC, Report ofVisit..., Vidan]

Forests

36% per cent of Croatia's total area is covered by forests, which ranks her among the fairlyforested countries in Europe. Almost 50% of mountain forest are subject to die-back due to the effectof acid rains. According to estimates, Croatia's forest land is annually reduced by a. 1,000 ha(approx. 0.05%) because of urban settlement growth, infrastructure building and the excessive fellingof trees. [National Report]

Natural areasCroatia is famous because of its generally well-preserved natural values. The coastal zone and its

hinterland are built of a specific geomorphological material, karst. The seven National Parks ofCroatia lay in this area and the coastal region. Besides, there are over three hundred speciallyprotected areas (such as nature reserves, forest parks, outstanding landscapes, and naturalmonuments) ali over Croatia, comprising approximately 7% of Croatian territory. The past war didsome damage to natural areas. During the war many protected areas and two national parks vvere inoccupied territory, so their maintainance and protection was deferred. Some looting took place,nature and (touristic) infrastructure were damaged or destroyed [National Report, Bralic]

CHAPTER 3 ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT

In this chapter we give a description of the development and current state of the environmentalmovement in Croatia. First of ali a brief historv will be given of the movement. This is mostlv basedupon an article by Vesna Terelic (from: "NGO Directorv for Central and Eastern Europe"; RegionalEnvironmental Center). A short summary of the NGOs which were met during the visit is put down inAnnex II.

3.1 HISTORVFirst civil organisations in Croatia were nature conservation initiatives, mountaineer and scientific

associations. For example, in 1874 the Mountaineering Association of Croatia was founded, in 1885the nature conservation foundation "Hrvatsko Prirodoslovno Drutvo", and in 1898thecitizenorganisation "Dub" from Dubrovnik. These organisations were successful in convincing decisionmakers to protect the nature; several nature reserves such as Plitvice lakes and Velebit mountain wereestablished in 1920s, while several plant and animal species were proclaimed protected.

While nature conservation was the main area of activities of civil and scientific organisations,environment only became a topic through international incidents in the seventies and eighties. Thefirst initiatives to tackle environmental problems stem from the early seventies through preparationsfor the Stockholm Conference on Environment and Protection. Scientific and civil organisationsdemanded urgent action to stop pollution of the Adriatic Sea after round table discussions tovvards theStockholm Conference. The second period of civil initiatives was after the Chernobyl disaster. Forthe first time people openly spoke against communist policy; they demanded use of renevvable energysources instead. Under strong pressure of some hundreds of local initiatives, supported by the media,the government put a moratorium on nuclear power plants in 1989. Several organisations andinitiatives from the anti-nuclear movement continued their activities to deal with other environmentalissues.

The massive reaction of the public on the nuclear issue, and opinion polis at the end of the ninetiesmade it clear that people are concerned with environmental issues. It made it also easier for localgovernments to introduce for instance recycling programs in Zagreb and Osijek. Even during the warthe public remained concerned with their environment, exemplified by the success of a 'GreenTelephone' in Zagreb, run by Green Action Zagreb.

The nationalistic wave in Yugoslavia started around this same period, eventually leading to thewar in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina. The war put an end to the emerging environmentalmovement in Croatia. Activists either had to struggle to fmd necessary means for existence, weredrafted or became active in the humanitarian and peace work. Some fifty organisations remained(more or less) active during the war. The most active and best known NGOs during the war periodwere Zelena Akcija Zagreb (Green Action Zagreb), Society Improvement of Quality of Life (SIQL),Croatian Green Alliance (alliance of most Croatian environmental NGOs), SVANIMIR and "LijepaNaa" from Katela (Society "Our Beautiful Country" from Katela). Other organisations dealingwith environmental issues during the war period were scientific organisations such as CroatianEcological Society and Croatian Ornithological Society, and small local groups in some twentydifferent cities and towns.

3.2 SPECIFIC ClRCUMSTANCES

The development of the environmental movement can not be seen vvithout taking into account thecircumstances the NGOs are in. Where in other Central and Eastern European countries NGOactivities boomed after the political changes around 1990, (newly formed) Croatian NGOs were facedwith the effects of the war.

11

We already described some effects of the war. The war had direct impact on the environment(such as damaged natural areas and industrial sites causing pollution). But maybe even moreimportant were the many indirect effects. International institutions or donors active in other CEEcountries didn't run programmes in Groatia or concentrated on humanitarian aid. This and the factthat Croatia is not a PHARE-country means that grant giving programmes for environmental groupsare limited (for instance, Croatian NGOs can't get funding from the PHARE Democracy Programme).

At the same time prices in Croatia are much higher than in other CEE countries. One reason forthis high prices is the introduction of special taxes to cover costs created by the war. NGOs also haveto pay laxes on donations and granls they receive.

The Croatian government tries to restrict NGO activities. One clear sign are the attempts tochange the law on non-profit organisations. Under the new law registration of new NGOs is notlonger an administrative affair but will be a polilical decision. Some organisations already now haveproblems with getting registrated or opening an office because they don't get permission from theMinistry of Public Affairs. NGOs also meet problems when they want to open a bank account.

Although the Croatian press is censored and controlled by the government, the environmentalNGOs still have good contacts wilh journalisls.The press coverage of environmental NGO activitiesis extensive. One explanali6n might be that environmental activities are less controversial thanactivities of the peace movement.

JLJnderstandable during the war the general public showed little interesi for environmental mattersr.Several people told us that this has changed. Environmental groups get a good response on iheiractivities. People are willing to sign petitions and show interesi when groups have street actions tobring environmental issues under the attention of passers-by. Croatian people are aware of the factthat their country has a very rich and valuable nature. They feel the need to proteci this nalure.

Two aspecls partly explain why Ihe changes from a communisl ruled sociely lowards a civilsociety is in principle nol as big a step as it was for mosl of Ihe other Central and Eastern Europeancounlries in transition. Firstly, under Tito's rule, compared to olher CEE counlries, ihere was relalivefreedbm for civil inilialives in Yugoslavia The basis of Ihe Federal Republic of Vugoslavia was infaci 'self-governmenl' on Ihe local level. In Ihis sense, Croalian people have become 'familiar' withcivil inilialives already before Ihe collapse of communisl rule in Cenlral and Easlern Europeancounlries around 1989/90, even Ihough mosl inilialives were controlled by communist rule. Theresponse of the public to the Chernobyl disaster, menlioned above, exemplifies Ihe relalive freedomof speech in Tugoslavia al ihal lime. Secondly, Croatia has a high level of educalion and maintainedinlensive contacls vvilhin Vugoslavia and abroad. People were hardly reslricled lo Iravel abroad, soIhat internalional conlacls were mainlained by for inslance scienlific organisations throughout thecommunisl era. The inlense internalional conlacls gave Croatians more possibilities to discuss issueswilh foreign colleagues.

3.3 CURRENT NGO 'LANDSCAPE'In 1990 Ihere were aboul 60 NGOs working on environmenlal issues regislered under The Law on

Associations, a law from 1982. Currenlly Ihere are aboul 150 NGOs in Croatia dealing primaruy wilhenvironmenlal issues (a lii of NGOs compiled by REC can be found in Annex III). Roughly half ofihem can be considered lo be aclive at the moment, the olher half had difficullies in iheir existenceduring vvartime, or are not visibly active. To simplify the picture, Ihe environmenlal NGOs canroughly be distinguished inlo three lypes of organisations...

One lype of organisations are the expert based socieliesJThese nalional socielies were alreadyformed in Vugoslav limes, and ils members moslly have a scienlific background. Some of ihem havea role in advising the governmenl on specific issues such as Ihe Croalian Ecological Sociely. They doresearch and publish the resulls. Asked by Ihe governmenl or on Iheir own iniliative they developstralegies and plans how to prolecl nalure and environmenl. Several of ihese socielies run projects in

12

which public awareness raising also plays a role. These projects are often nature conservationprojects. The most active societies in this sense are Croatian Society for the Protection of Natural andCultural Heritage "Svanimir", Croatian Ornithological Society and Croatian Ecological Society. Theyremained active during the war period.

The second type of organisations we distinguish here form the majority. These are the NGOswhich are usually established around 1989/90 or even long before and whose members are oftenolder, locally influential people.

r These NGOs deal with environmental education and local issues

such as nature conservation, municipal waste and water protection. Type of activities are for instanceeducational programs at schools or summer camps, waste programs, tree planting or clean-up actions,lobbying at local level. Among these are Eko Rijeka, Lijepa Naa from Katela, Ecological Society ofurevac, Green Istria (Pula), Association of the Friends of Nature 'DUB' (Dubrovnik), and GreenOsijek, to mention a few active ones.

The last type of organisations which we distinguish are the NGOs whose members are from the,younger generation. Their focus is on environmental awareness raising of the public at large. Theynot only work on a local scale but are also interested in global environmental issues and internationalcooperation. With their progressive activities they want to contribute to a democratic andenvironmental friendly society. Examples are Green Action Zagreb, Zeleni Mir (Dubrovnik),Environmental Society 'Zmergo' (Opatija), 'Nobilis' (akovec) and 'Stribor' (Rijeka).

As a consequence of any simplification, these three groups we distinguish are not strict and someorganisations do not fit into it. To mention two significant ones, the Society for Improvement ofQuality of Life (SIQL; Zagreb) targets their activities on the one hand towards consumers asking formore environmental friendly behaviour and on the other hand tovvards producers. The CroatianEnvironmental Education Centre (Zagreb) gathers experts on education to develop environmentaleducation in Croatia and gives courses.

3.4 ACITVITIES OF NGOS

As was mentioned before, many NGOs were formed around 1990 when many people took up thetask to improve the environmental conditions in their neighbourhood. Due to the war period theiractivities have gone down from 1991 tili 1995. Half of the NGOs could not manage to continue theiractivities during this period, especially those which were directly affected by the war (Slavonia,Krajina, and South-eastern part of Croatia).

The expert based societies remained quie active. They organised for instance conferences,meetings, panel discussions where also other NGOs participated in. A few of these organisationswere especially successful in concrete projects, usually in the field of nature conservation.

One should realise that even though there were fights going on in the Krajina and Slavoniaregions, most of the country was unaffected, and daily life followed quite normal patterns. Thatincludes the problems you might expect in the environmental field. Hence, the majority of the NGOswhich were still active during the war period \vorked on local issues (solid waste disposal, clean-upactions, pollution prevention, nature protection) and educating the young. Green Action Zagreb andSIQL had a significant role to put national issues on the (political) agenda.

From discussions with the NGOs, REC Local Office, a board member of REC Local GrantsProgram and other environmental activists the picture was confirmed that during the last year a boomof NGO activities can be seen. NGOs which were not or hardly active in the previous years havepicked up their activities again. Moreover, the impact and quality of their projects have increasedconsiderably. This was not only mentioned by several people we met, but we could also experiencethis in our visits to the NGOs. More people became involved in these NGOs during the last year, andmost notably the impact of their activities are much bigger then the years before. With eye-catchingactivities they draw the attention of the public and politicians to the environmental problems. Therewere for instance demonstrations and actions organised because of major oil spills in Bakar Bay, a

13

planned highway Zagreb-Rijeka through the nature of Gorski Kotar (North of Rijeka), a planned coal-burned povver plant in Istria ("Plomin II"), and against French nuclear tests in the Pacific. Alsoactivities of Iocally vvorking NGOs have increased.

3.5 NGO COOPERATION

Croatian Green AHianceAbout thirty NGOs have joined the Croatian Green AHiance, the national network of

environmental NGOs, which was established in 1990. The AHiance was formed to improve thecooperation and communication among NGOs, and be the 'spokesperson' of the movement. We metthe former as well as the current president of the AHiance. The AHiance is not working optimallynowadays. Several reasons were given by different people we met during the visits. An importantreason seems to be the fact that the AHiance does not have a permanent office or staff. The,gffectiveness of the AHiance mostlv depends on the chairperson and secretary, who are very busypeople any way1 What we mlssed was a clear profile and strategv^

The main activity of the Alliance this year is to organise the annual meeting. The goal andexpected results are not yet set. The member organisatiohs (who in fact form the Alliance)acknowledge the lack of a common strategy but do not see how they can impose improvements. Theindividual NGOs do not see it as their task to take initiatives for this, because they are afraid to becriticized for it. For a few years already there seems to be this deadlock^Possible improvementsmentioned by some people were to establish a permanent staffed office. From this office activitiescould be organised such as producing a joint newsletter, training sessions, round table discussions ontopics, etc. Some people doubt hovvever if the Alliance can be reanimated at ali. To us it seems that itwould at least need some people or organisations who will put in renewed energy in order to bring italive.

We noticed thaf the mediocre vvorking of the Alliance hampers other initiatives to improvecooperation and communication among NGOs. When we asked why NGOs do not organise morejoint activities for instance, or communicate more intensively, then often they replied that this is thetask of the Green Alliance and that this is the reason why the Alliance was set up.

Green ForumThe Society for Improvement of Quality of Life (SIQL) has taken initiatives to improve the

cooperation and communication, by organising a Green Forum every year. During this two-daysevent the NGOs discuss certain topics with governmental officials and experts (this year aboutenergv), and discuss issues which concerns the movement (this year a.o. a proposed project of SIQLto establish a Netvvork for Development of Citizen's Organizations, KRUGj see next paragraph). Wehad the opportunity to join this Green Forum.

The main importance of Green Forum seems to be that it is one of the few chances that NGOsfrom ali over Croatia gather together, meet each other and can discuss common issues. Due to limitedfmancial support for travel reimbursement only a few NGOs from outside Zagreb could participatethis year. As usual at meetings and conferences, most intensive communication was done in betweenthe different sessions in the corridors. The discussions during the sessions were rather guiet, and notas livelv as we experienced in national NGO meetings in other Central and Eastem Europeancountries._As was mentioned by some of the participants, probably because people consider theGreen Forum to be a SIQL event rather then a national NGO meeting of ali NGOs. Other reasonmentioned for the quiet discussions was that it's not in the tradition of Croatians to have a free andopen discussion in public, but rather on a personal level.

Still, ali the participants we spoke find the Green Forum an important event. For the success of theGreen Forum in coming years it might be a good idea to involve more NGOs i n the organisatioo and

14

facilitation of the different sessions and share responsibility for the whole Green Forum. Thedifferent sessions could be in srnaller groups (approximately 12 persons) on specific topics, in orderto make discussions more lively and focused tovvards a clear result and appointments for follow-upactivities.

KRUG-NET

SIQL wants to establish KRUG-NET (Netvvork for Development of Citizen's Organisations -Croatian Assistance Team). The aim of the project is to strengthen civil initiatives (so not onlyenvironmental NGOs, but also other NGOs) by providing Information, advice, training, thepublication of a nevvsletter and directories and the organisation of annual meetings. SIQL discussedtheir idea with some environmental NGOs and introduced their plans during the Green Forum. Mostenvironmental NGOs have their doubts about the project. They don't consider KRUG-NET as a jointactivity especially set up to serve them. They also seem to have more demand for training andservices especially targeted tovvards environmental NGOs. When we discussed the project with SIQLwe advised them to involve other organisations in the execution of the different tasks. This meansthat responsibilities will be shared and equipment and staff will be stationed not only in the SIQLoffice.

Working group of action oriented NGOs

Several action oriented NGOs of mostly young people have organised a few joint actions duringthe last year. One was a protest march against the planned construction of a huge coal-burned powerplant called 'Plomin IF, referring to the existing one on Istria peninsula called 'Plomin'. The otheraction was to protect the nature area of Gorski Kotar which is threatened by construction of amotorway from Zagreb to Rijeka. In this action people walked in a protest march of some 200kilometre from Rijeka to Zagreb. The third one was a demonstration at the French Embassy againstnuclear testing in the Pacific. The actions received a lot of media attention.

The experiences with these joint activities are very positive according to ali NGOs involved. Lastmonths plans are being discussed among these NGOs (i.e. Green Action Zagreb. Stribor. Zmergo andZeleni Mir, and possiblv Nobilis as well) to continue the cooperation on a more permanent base. Thegroups admit that the focus of their activities is ad-hoc and chosen in an impulsive way. To havemore impact and lasting effect the groups have to create a more structural programme and strategy.

Other forms of cooperation (second-han information)'Lijepa Naa' (Our Beautiful Country) is an alliance of local chapters in different towns ali over

Croatia. Some, not ali, of these chapters concentrate on environmental issues. The best known ofthem is Lijepa Naa from Katela near Split. According to some other environmental NGOs, LijepaNaa as national organisation maintains such close connections vvith the government that theirindependence is threatened.

Incidentally there is also cooperation among NGOs on specific issues. such as on energv, EarthDay events, nature conservation and water pollution. These instances of cooperation have occurredless frequently over the past few years, mainly because fewer NGOs were active during the warperiod. Environmental activists, however, are familiar wjth each other's activities and the (informal)contacts are numerous.

The REC organised a series of three workshops in December 1995 where NGOs discussedcommon issues such as on communication in and among NGOs and NGO management. Togethervvith the Centre for Development of Non-profit Organisations a series of meetings were held withNGO leaders to give input to draft laws oq non-profit organisations. REC has set aside some fundingfor holding vvorkshops on specific topics during 1996.

3.6 EXPRESSED NEEDS

During our discussions specific needs were expressed by several organisations. First of ali the lackof training possibilities was mentioned. People who participated in the training organised by GreenAction Zagreb in 1993 (in cooperation with Nick Allen of Environmental Training Program andMilieukontakt), referred to these three sessions being a very inspiring way to get activities going inthe organisation and make new people enthusiastic to become involved in NGOs (two new groupswere formed as a direct result of the training that time). The training should be organised for differentpeople from different organisations. In this way the communication betvveen the NGOs wouldimprove, and new ideas and plans could come out of it. Topics of training which were mentionedwere fundraising, planning and carrying out activities, communication skills and newsletters/media.

Most of the NGOs we met expressed to have difficulties to get expert support, and reliable andrelevant information on the issue they work on. In some cases they did have back-up from externalpeople who have some kind of expertise on their issue. Relations betvveen NGOs, universities andgovernmental bodies have to improve.

It was often mentioned that Croatia needs to get her place back on the international scale. Becauseof the war, international contacts have decreased drastically. Also environmental NGOs havemaintained only limited contacts abroad. Only very few international organisations and embassieshad activities in Croatia until last year. NGOs expressed the need and wish to intensify internationalcontacts (again).

CHAPTER 4 SUPPORT TO ENVIRONMENTAL NGOs

In this chapter we give a short overview of the support that environmental NGOs can turn to. Wedevided the support into two parts: support coming from abroad and support from domestic sources.

4.1 SUPPORT FROM FOREIGN SOURCESUntil 1995 the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC) was the

only substantial source for getting funding for environmental NGOs activities. Starting in 1991Central and Eastern European NGOs (so Croatian NGOs included) could apply from REC'sheadquarters in Budapest for grants. Starting end of 1993 an additional 'Local Grants ' fund becameavailable for Croatian NGOs. Croatian NGOs can make applications in Croatian language.Approximately 30-40,000 USD a year is available. An Advisory Board, consisting of 6 people whoare from the movement or have environmental expertise, decides on avvarding grants. They givepriority to projects that involve more people and raise public awareness and to activities that involvemore NGOs. Next to the funding service, REC Budapest also provides training and exchangeprograms to Croatian NGOs. Several young members from Croatian NGOs for instance participatedin their training program in Budapest.

Soros Foundation in Croatia supports the development of a civic society in general. AlthoughSoros Foundation in principle also supports environmental NGOs, in practice only very few of themreceived funding for their (environmental) projects. In these cases it usually concerhed newsletters orpublications and environmental education.

The American Agencv for International Development (US AID) has a program to support civilinitiatives and environmental activities. They financed a project on waste minimisation and one toestablish an environmental information netvvork. Both projects will be stationed at the REC LocalOffice. They are not specifically targeted to NGOs.

In 1995 the Dutch Embassv started a program MATRA-KAP (a Dutch abbreviation for 'societaltransformation - small embassy projects') in Croatia for supporting civil initiatives and non-governmental organisations. Environmental NGOs are among the organisations which are eligible forreceiving funding. A few of them (a.o. Society for Improvement of Quality of Life, Green Istria andCroatian Environmental Education Centre) already received grants.

USIS (United States Information Service) started a program in 1995 for supporting civilinitiatives, financed by the American government. This program involves performing trainingcourses, providing funds, supporting improvement of civil netvvorks and eommunication. Theseservices are in principle also available for environmental NGOs. Authors were told from second handthat environmental NGOs haven't managed to get substantial support yet.

Since 1986 Euronatur from Germany supports nature protection prpjects along the rivers Sava andDrava and other nature areas, in close cooperation with (mainly) Croatian governmental agencies. Afew NGOs from these areas are involved in these activities, such as from urevac, Osijek andLonske Polje. Support from Euronatur to these NGOs usually consists of working together with themin the nature protection efforts.

At the moment of writing up this report, the British Embassv in Croatia started to makeEnvironmental Know How Fund available for Croatia. The fund conceras mainly with transfer ofknowledge in the environmental field. They show interesi in contacts with environmental NGOs.

Other foreign organisations or institutions incidentally support the environmental movement. Forinstance Milieukontakt Oost-Europa vvorked together with Green Action Zagreb and EnvironmentalTraining Programme to deliver three workshops for young environmentalists and members of NGOsin 1993.

17

4.2 SUPPORT FROM DOMESTIC SOURCESGenerally speaking, there is no structural support from Croatian governmental structures for

environmental NGOs. In practice hovvever, local governments as well as some ministries do givesupport to many NGOs; this kind of support is incidental though. Support is given either as funds, oras in-kind contributions such as providing free office space or conference rooms, use of means ofcommunication and printing facilities, etc.

Previously, the Ministrv of Civil Engineering and Environmental Protection and the Ministry ofEducation and Culture provided fmancial support. Amounts tili 1994 were up to 23,000 USD per yeartotal. The Ministry of Environment gave funds for environmental NGOs during last two years whichwas administered by REC's Local Office in Zagreb.

In our discussions with the different people during our visit, it became clear that localgovernments often contributed to the activities of the NGO on an ad-hoc basis. For instance, theZagreb municipality finances a substantial part of the costs for Green Telephone of Green ActionZagreb and Green Istria can make use of the office space at the Pula municipality. The (moral)support of local municipalities was usually seen as an important stimulus for NGOs to remain activein their community.

The Centre for Development of Non-profit Organisations was established recently. They aim tosupport civil initiatives and non-profit organisations on a whole range of issues. The Centre advisesNGOs on their day-to-day work such as taxation, accounting and legal issues. The Centre sees itselfto have an important role to get NGOs work more together by organising round table discussions.Currently they come up for the interests of NGOs in drafting a new law on non-profit organisations.They asked foreign experts to comment on the first draft laws from the government, which in itscurrent form is worse for NGOs then the existing one. They have plans to set up a resource centre forNGOs. Already in June 1995 they held the assembly meeting of the resource centre, but ever sincethey are vvaiting for permission from the Ministry of Public Affairs to start an office, open a bankaccount, etc. The Centre is a Croatian organisation. It is supported by European Union, SorosFoundation, Mott Foundation, the British Embassy, a.o.

A few NGOs managed to get funds or in-kind support from the private sector. Usually in return ofadvertisement space, services, or sometimes as donations, enterprises support specific programs ofNGOs. S6ciety for Improvement of Quality of Life is especially successful in drawing support fromthe private sector to their activities. Also through entrance fees or contributions from the people intheir Earth Day events, for instance, SIQL could finance part of their activities.

The contribution of membership fees and donations is usually a minor source of fmancial supportfor the NGOs. Most frequently heard explanation for this is that the war in formal Vugoslavia and asa result the harsh economic situation makes it very hard to attract the public to environmentalactivities. On the othef hand, in those (relatively few) instances that NGOs drew attentjon toenvironmental problems through actions and demonstrations, the response of media and the publicwas predominantly positive.

CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Croatian environmental movement exists and is alive. Groups are geographicallv evenlyspread over the country. Environmental groups are working on different levels and cover aliimportant topics. We were surprised to see so many different approaches and activities and severalattempts to improve cooperation between groups. This means that there exists a sufficient basis for afurther strengthening of the Croatian environmental movement.

Since Croatia's declaration of independence from Vugoslavia in 1991 the countrv is governed in acentralised way (dominated by Croatian Democratic Union of President Tudjman). During the warperiod from 1991 tili 1995 the topics 'environment' and 'demoeratisation' were low on the politicalagenda. Croatia is not in immediate war situation anymore since 1995, and tries hard to becomerecognised by the international community as a 'normal European state* (Croatia was for instanceadmitted - with some hesitation - to the Council of Europe while editing this report; October 1996).

At the same time, there is a clear increase of civil initiatives and NGO activities in environmentalfield during the last year. We did not only hear this from other organisations and individualssupporting the environmental movement throughout the last several years, but also noticed this fromown experience during the visits to the different NGOs. The importance to strengthen these civilinitiatives and development of the active and 'dormant' NGOs is especially important now, seen inthe light of the political situation and international position of Croatia. Therefore, internationalsupport and cooperation to assist the demoeratisation process in the environmental field shouldintensify as soon as possible.

The main \veakness of the Croatian environmental movement in our eves is that most groups workon a very ad-hoc base. They jump from one activity to the other. There are two main reasons toexplain this. (1) During the war it was very difficult to get funding and (2) the situation in the countrywas so insecure that it seemed senseless to plan long lasting activities or to think about next year oreven next month. Now the war has ended the situation has improved, and NGOs can start makingplans also on the long term.

The cooperation among NGOs in Croatia is underdeveloped, but improving. Croatian NGOsexpressed their wish to improve cooperation. The NGOs consider Croatian Green Alliance (thealliance of most environmental NGOs in Croatia) as important tool for cooperation, though admit thatthe alliance is not vvorking very well at the moment. The Society for Improvement of Quality of Life(SIQL) plans to establish KRUG-NET as a service to ali kinds of NGOs. In both cases,we could feelhesitation, and sceptisism among NGOs for too formal or institutionalised ways of cooperation. Themost promising examples of cooperation at the moment are less formal, or on ad-hoc basis on specificissues or in geographical regions. Recent examples are discussions about the new draft lavvs on non-governmental organisations, joint actions against "Plomin ir', and setting up a working group ofsome action oriented NGOs.

The communication within the environmental movement has to become more frequent. There isno open discussion platform, such as a nevvsletter. The yearly NGO gathering should become more ameeting for the whole movement, organised by the movement. It could be organised by a broaderworking group of NGOs, and in a way that discussions will be more targeted tovvards joint activities(e.g. by organising small parallel workshops on issues such as "energy, or Plomin II", "env.education", "coastal clean-ups", etc.). In this way more active input by participants can be expected,as well as more concrete output and cooperation.

.Environmental groups have to work on the development of a mission. a clear profile and a strategvfor their vvorL Before starting an activity it has to be clear what the goal and objectives are, what thetarget group is, what the expected results are and how this activity fits into the work plan of theorganisations. To achieve this, environmental groups need training and funding.

19

Croatian groups need to have the opportunity to learn~from environmental groups in othercountries. This might be achieved by study visits and internships. It is also important to involveCroatian groups better in the activities of international NGOs and international networks vvorking onspecifictopics.

Croatian groups have contacts with media and governmental bodies. These contacts are notstructural. Environmental NGOs need to learn how to maintain these contacts and integrate them intheir activities.

Groups also have to increase their methods to influence environmental decision making. Littleattention is paid to environmental legislation and tools offered by laws for public participation. Forthis, special training and advice is needed.

Environmental groups depend on international funding. This will not change the coming years.During these years the environmental groups have to develop fund raising plans. They have to vvork,on membership recruitment and constituency building. At the same time they have to lobby forfunding from national and local gOvernment.

At the moment Croatian groups can get funding for small projects with a short duration. Thisfunding is not sufficient to cover overhead costs and to secure continuity. To overcome this deadlock,there is a clear need for more structural funding. Capacity building, membership recruitment,development of strategies and vvorkplans needs to be funded^

Role of Milieukontakt Oost-EuropaThe visit was a good opportunity for Milieukontakt to renew contacts and to get to know more

environmental groups in Croatia. Tili now our support was very limited. In the framework of theOrganisation and Management project Milieukontakt co-organised a series of training. Croatiangroups were also involved in the activities of the "Environmental Policy making and NGOinvolvement" project of Milieukontakt. Of course we were asked several times what our plans areconcerning Croatia. Some groups expressed the hope that Milieukontakt vvould start a country projectwith Croatia.

At the moment we are not able to finance such a project but we are \villing to devote time andenergy to the Croatian environmental movement. On request of some groups we already providedthem with publications and materials on environmental issues, organization and management forNGOs and on the Dutch environmental movement. We helped some groups in their attempts to getDutch funding.

The groups vvorking together in the development of the "vvorking group of action oriented NGOs"asked Milieukontakt to be a partner in this project. Our reaction on this request is positive. We don'tsee our role restricted to helping with finding finances. We also like to provide training, to monitoractivities, to give conceptual and moral support and to act as a coach. Milieukontakt is activelyparticipating in the netvvork of NGOs working on a Pan-European scale. We will do our best tointegrate Croatian environmental NGOs in this netvvork.
