Croatia and Albania plan to build a joint power plant in Albania, say the countries’ respective prime ministers, Ivo Sanader and Sali Berisha. Bosnia-Hercegovina and Montenegro may also join the project, as nuclear energy must pass through them to reach Croatia. “Croatia, Albania to build nuclear power plant” The project is not part of Croatia’s planned energy strategy, but rather the result of a bilateral agreement. Daily Jutarnji List writes that the idea was first floated by Sanader, and immediately accepted by Berisha. In Albania, the public debate about building the nuclear plant is in its latter stages, says the newspaper, adding that it is still early to speak about investors, prices and the quantity of energy Croatia would receive. The Croatian government says that the project is being taken seriously and that Croatian ministers and experts are expected to visit Tirana soon. The meeting between Croatian and Albanian politicians and experts would likely be held at the beginning of March, after which the details of the project would be made public. Under the plan, Croatia would send Albania world-renowned nuclear energy experts who have years of experience behind them working on the jointly-owned Krsko nuclear power plant. Furthermore, according to unofficial reports, the newspaper says the Croatian investor would most likely be the Croatian state power company, HEP, for which such a project would act as a “wind in its sails” in its bid to become a major regional energy player, according to the Economy Ministry.
