What Komunalno Brčko does

JP Komunalno Brčko d.o.o. Brčko distrikt BiH is a government-owned public enterprise founded on 26 June 2007 by Decision of the Assembly of Brčko District, registered in court on 28 December 2007, and continuously operating since 1 January 2008. It is organized as a limited liability company (d.o.o.) under the Law on Public Enterprises of Brčko District, with the Skupština Brčko distrikta BiH as founder and the Supervisory Board appointed through public competition. The company delivers integrated communal services across the entire Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina, serving over 70,000 customers, and is structured into four working units: RJ Elektrodistribucija (electricity distribution and supply under a licence valid 2020–2030), RJ Vodovod i kanalizacija (water production and distribution from multiple sources including Stjepkovica, Gajevi reservoir, and Štrepci, plus sewerage network maintenance), RJ Čistoća (waste collection and disposal, landfill maintenance, public-space maintenance, green areas, and stray dog shelter), and RJ Administracija (corporate administration and customer relations).

The underlying technology comprises standard utility infrastructure: 10/0.4 kV transformer stations, water production and treatment facilities (Fabrika vode), reservoir and pumping stations, and pipeline networks. The company has deployed a GIS system at gis.komunalno.ba for spatial network management and an Automated Meter Management (AMM) system for remote electricity meter reading. It holds integrated management system certifications under ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environment), ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety), and ISO 27001:2022 (information security). Customer service is delivered through a 24/7 free hotline (0800 505 07), a primary customer service office at Tina Ujevića 66, and cash payment counters in villages including Gornji Rahić and Seonjaci, with bills payable at UniCredit Bank (legal entities) and NLB Bank Sarajevo (households) plus post offices.

Revenue is generated through regulated tariffs: usage-based time-of-use electricity tariffs (higher VT in daytime and evening, lower MT mid-afternoon and overnight), recurring water and waste collection charges, and one-time fees for reconnection (KM 65 / KM 130), name changes (KM 5), temporary disconnection (KM 10), and extraordinary bulky waste collection (KM 61.10–89.00). Pricing is set through official tariff decisions published as PDF documents. The company has no fundraising history, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity; it operates as a single-jurisdiction regulated monopoly on electricity distribution and supply within Brčko District, with leadership headed by Director Armin Drapić.
