In attendance at the conference, supported by the Croatian ministries of justice and environment protection, will be officials from Albania, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and Spain, the Croatian GONG nongovernmental organisation told a news conference on Tuesday.
Croatia ratified the convention in December 2006, being one of 45 countries to have done it so far.
The document is an instrument of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) regulating access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters.
The convention was adopted on 25 June 1998 in the Danish city of Aarhus at the Fourth Ministerial Conference in the Environment for Europe process.
