Mine clearing will begin within several days in other villages
in the occupied area which are in the pilot-programme of the return
of refugees - Nijemci, Laslovo, Bilje and Antunovac.
All conditions for the return of some 10,000 refugees to their
homes would be created this year, Radic said.
A session of the Centre for the construction of a regional
water supply system for Posavina, Osijek and Vukovar counties took
place in Vinkovci.
Out of the necessary 400 million kunas for the construction of
waterworks, 68 million kunas has been set aside from the credit of
the World Bank and the Croatian Reconstruction and Development
Bank.
According to the plan, the waterworks should be completed by
the end of 1999.
