description The Republic of Croatia has announced a plan to build a radioactive waste repository in Mount Trgovska Gora located along the border area with Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which has upset residents living in the border municipalities in BiH. This paper seeks to examine local residents’ opinion regarding the construction of a radioactive waste repository. Our study was conducted in Novi Grad, a place located in the immediate vicinity of Trgovska Gora. The aim of the study was to examine local residents’ perceptions and the implications of the planned project for human security. This study is based on a qualitative research approach using the focus group interview as a technique. Eleven respondents participated in the focus group interview. The group consisted of representatives of local communities, residents, and representatives of non-governmental organizations. Our findings indicate that local residents strongly disagree with the announced project and numerous negative implications for human security.
