Several hundred thousand mines have still not been detected,
Vidovic told reporters after the "Croatia Without Mines" action was
presented in the northern town of Varazdin.
Vidovic, who also chairs the Mine Action Centre, said the action was
aimed at raising awareness about the danger posed by mines even in
regions which were not directly struck by the early 1990s war.
