VINKOVCI, July 9 (Hina) - Clearing of mines in Lipovac, a
village in the UNTAES-controlled area near the border with
Yugoslavia, has begun on Tuesday.
Croatian Reconstruction and Development Minister Jure Radic,
UN Transitional Administrator in Eastern Slavonia, baranja and
Western Srijem, Jacques Klein, U.S. Ambassador to Croatia Peter
Galbraith, numerous representatives of Croatian civilian
authorities and Serb representatives from occupied Croatian areas
visited Lipovac on Tuesday.
The clearing of mines in Lipovljani is being done by special
Croatian pyrotechnic groups "Mongoose".
The beginning of reconstruction of houses is to begin on
1 August, Croatian Reconstruction and Development Minister
Jure Radic said.
According to the first assesments, some 50 million German
marks will be needed for the reconstruction of Lipovci.
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.
