ZAGREB, March 20 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic on
Tuesday presented German humanitarian activist Brigitte Bremer with a high
state decoration, "The Order of the Croatian Morning Star with the image of
Katarina Zrinska", for her outstanding contribution to the organisation and
transport of humanitarian aid to Croatia during the 1991-1999 war, the
President's Office said in a statement. "The value of the
humanitarian assistance Ms Bremer provided for more than a decade particularly
lies in the fact that it came when it was most needed and was given to those
who needed it the most," Mesic said.
Bremer organised humanitarian aid for the town hospital in Sisak and
the children's hospital in Zagreb, and after the war she assisted in the
construction of a children's day care centre in Sunja.
