Russian Minister Sergei Soygu told reporters that the two countries
had already signed a protocol and a commercial agreement on
removing mines. According to him, Moscow is waiting for the
successor countries to the former Yugoslavia to, along with Russia,
determine the total amount of the clearing debt. Sojgu said he was
convinced that Russia would start mine removal projects in Croatia
by spring at the latest.
Croatian Economy Minister Ljubo Jurcic said that the most important
thing for Croatia was to accelerate the process of settling the
clearing debt. One of the possibilities of settling the debt is
the delievery of power equipment to the Sisak thermal-power plant.
