LEGRAD, Aug 1 (Hina) - On the occasion of the Day of St. Anna, a one-
day river border crossing between the Croatian town of Legrad and
the Hungarian town of Oertilos (Ertilos) was opened on Sunday.#L#
During this traditional event, residents of the two towns can pass
into the neighbouring countries via the Drava river.
On Sunday, a ship of the Hungarian river navigation company was
rented for this purpose and over 1,000 passengers are expected to be
carried to both banks of the Drava by the end of the day.
A fair is being organised on both banks.
In the past parts of Oertilos used to belong to the municipality of
Legrad, where Legrad citizens had their estates.
