This contingent, including 22 men and two women, will replace
Croatian military police who participated in the international
peace mission in the past six months and who will come back to Zagreb
tomorrow.
The new contingent was seen off by Defence Minister Zeljka
Antunovic, the army's chief-of-staff Josip Lucic and other
military officials.
The Croatians will be deployed in Kabul as a part of the German
contingent.
On 11 August the command over the mission was taken over by NATO from
the UN. Thus, the ISAF is the first mission of NATO outside Europe in
54 years of the alliance's existence.
