HUNGARY AND GERMANY TO DEMINE PART OF DANUBE REGION

( Editorial: --> 2659 ) BUDAPEST, Mar 26 (Hina)- A three day conference on anti-personnel mines commenced on Thursday in Budapest. Hungarian Foreign Minister Laszlo Kovacs announced that Hungary, Germany and Croatia would jointly demine parts of the Croatian Danube region. The project could also be joined by Norway, said Kovacs. Head of the Croatian delegation, Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Drobnjak, said that Croatia, as a country burdened by the need to demine parts of its territory, had high expections from the conference. For that purpose Croatia should be rightly entitled to international aid, said Vladimir Drobnjak. (Hina) mr mm/mrb 262051 MET mar 98
