ZAGREB, March 21 (Hina) - Representatives from Croatia, Slovenia,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia met in Zagreb on Wednesday
for a two-day regional meeting on cooperation in the supervision of transport
of metal waste and exchange of information on shipments contaminated by
radioactive substances or containing a radioactive source. The
meeting was organised by the Croatian State Institute for Protection against
Radiation and its purpose is to establish a regional system of exchange of
information on shipments contaminated by radioactive materials and to agree on
methods of tracing them, said the head of the Institute, Dragan Kubelka.
Kubelka said that Croatia had launched the initiative in order to
gather competent representatives from countries in the region to draw up an
international agreement on the exchange of relevant information.
The agreement would be the first such document in Europe, and there are
plans to expand it to include Albania, Turkey, Greece and Romania.
