RECONSTRUCTION PLAN PROBABLY TO BE ADOPTED THIS WEEK - MINISTRY

( Editorial: --> 7971 ) ZAGREB, Oct 13 (Hina) - The Croatian government would probably adopt a reconstruction plan this week so that the international conference on reconstruction and development in Croatia could be held in the second half of November, a spokesman at the Reconstruction and Development Ministry said on Tuesday. "We expect the reconstruction plan to be finished on Wednesday or Thursday", spokesman Vladimir Loncarevic told Hina. The plan would be submitted to international representatives, he said adding that the exact date and place of the conference would be determined later. At the end of September Croatia submitted a draft reconstruction plan to international representatives (Commission Article 11), who had a certain number of objections to the document. The objections were mainly of technical nature, Loncarevic said. The main objectives of the reconstruction plan are the reconstruction of houses, infrastructure and public services, as well as facilitating the social and economic reintegration of returnees and assisting government investment policy for a long- term economic development of war-affected areas.
