"The Serbian side failed to hand over plans of mine fields
on April 23. As the result of that, so far the Croatian Army
engineering units could not clear the area near the occupied town
of Mirkovci", said Colonel Ivan Babic, head of the engineering HQ
of the Djakovo area.
Babic said that 1,400 metres of the railway had been demined
so far and that demining would be completed by the end of the
week. After that the damaged section of the railway near the
Vrapcana station would be mended, Babic concluded.
