ONE THOUSAND FLATS RECONSTRUCTED IN VUKOVAR

( Editorial: --> 3033 ) VUKOVAR/ZAGREB, Jan 8 (Hina) - One thousand flats out of 1,400 the Croatian Reconstruction and Development Ministry was reconstructing in Vukovar last year have been completed, while the remaining 400 should be completed in two months, Ministry spokesman Vladimir Loncaric said Thursday. The Reconstruction and Development Ministry will allocate 400 flats to interested parties in line with the Law on Areas of Special Government Care. Some 500 flats in Vukovar, eastern Croatia, are being reconstructed by the European Union. Ninety-two of these were given to pre-war owners in October, and unofficial reports say an additional 500 will be given to former residents later this month. (hina) ha mm 081440 MET jan 98
