Croatian government is looking to build a nuclear power plant

Parliament will likely adopt by the end of the year draft legislation for the construction of a nuclear power plant, economy minister Ante Šušnjar said.

The ministry of economy has set up a working group drafting the nuclear energy law, Šušnjar said late on Thursday evening.

For more than 40 years, Croatia has been the co-owner of the Krško nuclear power plant in neighbouring Slovenia, which supplies about 16% of the country’s energy needs.
