Transitional Administrator for the Croatian Danube rive region was
also present at the market on Saturday.
The remarkable success of this meeting-place, where over 175,000
people had met, gave UNTAES the confidence to organise sponsor visits.
These visits enabled over 100,000 persons to visit the Croatian Danube
river region and other parts of Croatia, both ways, which proves that
common people are past their political leaderships and gives hope for
the final success of UNTAES's mission, Klein said.
Sales people and traders were presented with letters of thanks
from UNTAES.
The open market was open every Saturday since 24 August last
year, at the east exit out of the town of Osijek, on the Osijek-Vukovar
road.
