The unit of UniCredit Bank in Bosnia's Serb Republic said it has signed a loan agreement with local coal miner and energy producer RiTE Ugljevik for the construction and reconstruction of electrostatic precipitators at its thermal power plant. The funds will be used to finance the purchase and installation of electrostatic precipitators, and the construction of a special facility to house the filters. The project will help the energy producer meet EU regulations by reducing particulate emissions.
