ZAGREB, March 24 (Hina) - The Croatian National Sabor's House of Representatives on Wednesday discussed the implementation of a mine-clearing plan and its expenses in 1998. In 1998, 14.3 square kilometres of territory were cleared of
mines, and the estimated 13,000 square kilometres of suspected minefields were reduced to 6,000. The sum of US$29 million was earmarked for mine-clearing in the 1999 state budget, but according to officials, it will not be enough to make sufficient progress in the mine-clearing. Alternative sources of financing should be sought, the Lower House stressed.(hina) it/lml/ha
