PETRINJA, Aug 1 (Hina) - The newly-appointed chairman of the Croatian Mine Action Centre's (HCR) Council, Drazen Budisa, met HCR director Damir Gorseta at the HCR headquarters in Sisak on Tuesday. At the entrance to what used to be a
factory before the war in Petrinja Budisa attended the presentation of mine-removal machines, which are being used at a location where the future highway Zagreb-Sisak should be constructed. Budisa said HCR's task was to clear Croatia of mines as soon as possible, with the maximum degree of protection of human lives. This will last at least 10 years because Croatia is one of the ten most mine-infested countries, he said. Croatia has a good equipment and trained personnel but it does not have enough funds for mine removal, Budisa said, adding it was necessary to attract international donations for that purpose.

At the entrance to what used to be a factory before the war in
Petrinja Budisa attended the presentation of mine-removal
machines, which are being used at a location where the future
highway Zagreb-Sisak should be constructed.
Budisa said HCR's task was to clear Croatia of mines as soon as

Croatia has a good equipment and trained personnel but it does not
have enough funds for mine removal, Budisa said, adding it was
necessary to attract international donations for that purpose.
Mine removal experts are currently removing mines from one of the
most difficult separation lines in Croatia, the one between
Petrinja and Sisak.
