( Editorial: --> 9238 ) OSIJEK/TENJA, 8 Nov (Hina) - The first bus of the Osijek Transport Company, carrying displaced people from Tenja who travelled to visit their homes, the vice president of the National Trust Restoration Committee Ivica Vrkic, Osijek Prefect and President of the County Trust Restoration Committee, Anica Horvat, and other municipal officials, set out from Osijek for Tenja after more than six years on Saturday. The delegation was welcomed by Tenja municipal head Pero Rajkovic, who stressed that the re-establishment of bus transport was a step forward in creating conditions for the normalisation of life in the area in the atmosphere of tolerance. Deputy municipal head Tomo Povreslo expressed hope that the bus line, which is to operate seven times a day, would serve to the benefit of all residents of Tenja and contribute to the restoration of trust as well as to the reconstruction. The municipality of Tenja, which is to start functioning as a local committee of the city of Osijek one year after the elections, was founded by a former U.N. Transitional Administrator in Eastern Slavonia, Jacques Klein. In the April elections, the Serb Democratic Independent Party (SDSS) won the majority of votes in the municipal council of Tenja.
