Challenges and conflicts for managing transboundary karst aquifers: examples and case studies in the Dinaric region

Transboundary karst water related problems will be better and more efficiently solved if professional and scientific principles are fully recognised and not affected or influenced by daily politics. In case of the states, which were established after disintegration of former Yugoslavia, official contacts of experts should be strengthened. Friendship and appreciation between experts and institutions that were created over many years, and privately still exist, should be used at best for efficient solution of current problems that do not have political background. Unfortunately, at the present, some positive experiences from the former country and political system are insufficiently used because the opinion (mainly from politicians) that nothing from the former system was good. Of paramount importance is to ensure a stable exchange of technical information and to create institutions and space where a public, free and open discussion among all the partners in process will be conducted. It is the way to create a long-term strategy for a more efficient internationally shared transboundary karst water management respecting the principles of sustainable development.
