Approval of a hydroelectric power plant in Croatia has caused alarm over environmental concerns.

The fallout has gotten so bad criminal charges have now been filed against the government official who approved the construction permit.

The companies at the center of the scandal are Pipra and a contractor going by Starac.

Starac is owned by Josip Heit, who BehindMLM is familiar with through ownership of GSB Gold Standard Banking Corporation and related MLM crypto fraud.

Forbes Croatia also claims Svalina manages White Rock as its Director.

The source of the Una River is one of the deepest karstic springs – where water flows up from conduits in the bedrock – on Earth. Running from Croatia into Bosnia and serving as a natural border, it carries major cultural significance and represents the shared heritage between the two countries.

The river is also home to 17 threatened species, and campaigners say the construction work puts this protected waterway at risk of serious environmental damage downstream.
