DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER LINIC VISITS DONJI LAPAC

DONJI LAPAC, Sept 4 (Hina) - Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Slavko Linic on Wednesday visited Donji Lapac, where he discussed economic problems and the reconstruction of family houses, public facilities and infrastructure with local officials. #L# Mayor Milan Djukic informed Linic about problems in the dynamics of reconstruction in the municipality. "Only 43 out of 621 family houses in Donji Lapac have been rebuilt and we expect the Public Works and Reconstruction Ministry to step up efforts and reconstruction works on the whole," Djukic said. Linic described the talks as successful and expressed satisfaction that municipal authorities were trying to solve problems together, regardless of their nationality. Linic spoke critically about the conduct of the administration, which he said either did not want to work or was obstructing projects, thus possibly expressing intolerance, including intolerance towards other nationalities. Linic said that one of the problems of the incumbent government was its failure to force the administration, regardless of whether it was local offices, funds or staff charged with speeding up reconstruction, to work in a responsible manner.
