ZAGREB, Nov 9 (Hina) - Agriculture Minister Petar Cobankovic said
in parliament on Wednesday efforts to prevent bird flu from spreading from wild
birds to poultry had been successful. He reiterated Croatia was the
first European state which managed to isolate the virus on world birds, thus
preventing it from spreading onto poultry and causing major damage to the
economy.
Citing laws and regulations, the minister said part of the poultry in
areas where the virus had been detected had to be culled to prevent the disease
from spreading.
