CROATIA-EU-ENVIRONMENT-ENERGY-ELECTRICITY

A picture taken on February 22, 2017 shows gears for raising the dam on an hydro plant on the river Kupa in the town of Ozalj, near Karlovac, Croatia. Croatia produces up to 75 percent of the electricity it needs while the rest is imported. Ecological activists fear that the country's pristine rivers could be devastated by dozens of planned small-scale plants and warn against their far-reaching negative impact while the situation is, they say, the most critical in Karlovac, the "Town on Four Rivers". There, the Korona river is threatened by a hydro-electric project denounced by environmentalists. / AFP PHOTO / Damir SENCAR (Photo credit should read DAMIR SENCAR/AFP via Getty Images)
