HOUSE IN VUKOVAR
( Editorial: --> 3646 )
VUKOVAR, 25 Nov (Hina) - A delegation of the Croatian Academy of
Arts and Sciences (HAZU), led by the Academy President Ivan Supek,
on Tuesday presented Vukovar Mayor Vladimir Stengl with a donation
worth 72,000 kuna (US$12,000).
The donation is intended for the reconstruction of the Memorial
Centre of Nobel Prize winner Lavoslav Ruzicka in Vukovar.
Lavoslav Ruzicka was born in Vukovar and is one of the most famous
chemists of the 20th century. He won Nobel Prize award in 1939.
HAZU wants the Memorial Centre, which is based in the house of
Ruzicka's birth, to become one of HAZU's institutes, which would
make Vukovar the centre of science and art in that part of Croatia.
Thanking HAZU for the donation, Mayor Stengl said that the town had
already decided to reconstruct the Memorial Centre in Ruzicka's
destroyed house in central Vukovar.
The costs of the reconstruction have been estimated at 1.5 million
kuna, but a donor has not yet been found.
