The Government of the Federation of B&H on its 64^th session that was held in Mostar on 29 June 2008, affirmed and sent to the Parliament the Draft of the Law on changes and supplementations of the Law on spatial planning and land utilization on the Federal level.

Proposed changes and supplementations will simplify procedure of construction permitting and will harmonize existing law with other regulations in the Federation as well as with proposals from the Memorandum on Understanding that was signed between Federal Government and USAID. Therefore, new terms as zoning plan and location information will be applied and actual procedure of permitting in the area with detailed planning document would be significantly shortened.

Beside that, by implementing proposed supplementation to the Law, the new instruments of management of waste generated during construction or during building removal would be applied. So far this very important issue has not been legally regulated.

In addition, certain solutions have been considered in details, especially those related to the way of using of construction land, prescribing possibility for investor to organize land from his own funds, and way of regulating relationships connected to investment of private funds.
