Following the support of the Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe, four riparian countries of the Sava River Basin – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (succeeded by Serbia), Republic of Croatia and Republic of Slovenia entered into a process of cooperation known as "the Sava River Basin Initiative". As result of that, on the November 29, 2001 in Sarajevo was signed "Letter of Intent". After that the basin countries accepted a challenge and managed to conclude the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin (FASRB). The result of FASRB agreement, which integrated all aspects of the water resources management was established of International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC) for the implementation of the FASRB. FASRB entered into force on December 29, 2004, the First Constitutional Session of the Sava Commission was held on June 27, 2005, and the permanent Secretariat of the Sava Commission started to work on January 9, 2006.
