WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS IN SARVAS, KLISA CONNECTED TO OSIJEK WATERWORKS

OSIJEK WATERWORKS $ OSIJEK, Sept 8 (Hina) - Water supply systems in the Osijek suburbs of Sarvas and Klisa in the UN-administered part of eastern Croatia were connected to the Osijek waterworks on Monday. Attending today's event were Osijek Mayor Zlatko Kramaric, deputy head of UNTAES' civil affairs Fedor Klincuk, and other representatives of local authorities. Today's event was the result of efforts to normalize living in the said suburbs, said Osijek Mayor Kramaric, adding this was of special importance to returnees. Recalling that an agreement on the reintegration of the water supply system in Croatia's Danube region was signed in May this year, UNTAES' Klincuk said he was satisfied with cooperation between the Croat and Serb sides within a joint water supply system implementation board. According to Slobodan Jovicic, assistant manager at the Centre for the Reconstruction and Development of the Danube Region, a Norwegian council for refugees invested DM 700,000 in the reconstruction of the waterworks in the Danube region.
