POSTAL SERVICE WITH OCCUPIED AREAS RESTORED

NUSTAR/BRSADIN, May 10 (Hina) - Postal service between the government-controlled and Serb-occupied parts of Croatia was restored at the UN Nustar-Brsadin check point on Friday. The UN transitional administrator in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Srijem, US General Jacques Klein, had donated two instruments, one for Nustar and the other for Serb-held Bilje, for detecting whether postal packages contained explosive devices. Deliveries would be made three times a week - on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays - because Serbs had only one delivery van at their disposal. Postal workers from Vukovar asked Croatian Post and Telecommunications (HPT) officials about possibilities of keeping their jobs after the reintegration of the occupied areas into Croatia.
