German utility group RWE AG expressed interest in investing more than 1 billion euros (US$1.27 billion) in the energy sector of Bosnia's Serb region, including development of hydropower projects. The RWE management and the government of Bosnia's autonomous Bosnian Serb republic, Republika Srpska, discussed the possibilities of cooperation in the construction of hydropower plants in the region, which makes up Bosnia along with the Muslim-Croat federation. RWE estimated about 2,000 MW could be produced by construction of hydropower plants on the Drina and Trebisnjica rivers in the east and on the Vrbas River in the west of the region. "We see the Serb republic as the growing market in the future and we want to contribute to the development and building of infrastructure, especially in domain of power supplies," Gerd Jaeger, a member of the RWE Executive Board, said in Banja Luka.
