Timeline

  2. New reports confirm the search targeted the public utility Komunalno Neum on POSKOK's order, with a statement from POSKOK spokesperson Nina Hadžihajdarević, and add that Neum had an agreement with Dubrovnik-Neretva County on waste disposal but reportedly received far larger quantities than agreed, plus that FUP had already gathered related documentation back in 2007.

  3. New reports specify that the waste came from the Croatian municipalities of Ston, Orebić and Janjina and was dumped at the Klepovica landfill near Neum, noting that Ston lacks its own landfill and previously hauled waste to Neum; the Federal Prosecutor's Office confirmed police are acting on a prosecutor's order, while POSKOK and the prosecution still withhold details.
