CRIMINOLOGY OF CONCESSION CONTRACTS IN THE EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: Concessions represent the right to carry out economic activities using public goods, natural resources and other goods of general interest, in accordance with the Law, with the payment of a concession fee. In recent years, the number of concession contracts in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina has increased, especially in the area of construction of the so-called small hydropower plants and the opening of mines. At the same time, certain disputed situations arise, both in real and legal terms. It is particularly interesting that the state and entity authorities "force" some concessions with highly debatable prospects for the environment. In this sense, the local community is "excluded", which speaks about the non-transparency of the entire procedure and the lack of respect for the opinion and position of the local community, which should have a very important role in the process of awarding concessions. In the paper, he will present the legal regulations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Entities, in the subject area, with certain comparisons in neighboring countries, the world regarding important provisions in concessions. In particular, the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be analyzed, with an indication of possible ecological and other implications in the case of launching planned projects in the field of "current mining".
