SINJ, Aug 10 (Hina) - Present at a tournament known as the "Sinjska
Alka which is to take place on Monday under the auspices of Franjo
Tudjman will be President Tudjman's special representative,
Croatian Defense Minister Gojko Susak.
The 281st Sinjska Alka is to take place in Sinj, about 30
kilometres inland from the southern coastal town of Split. It is a
tournament where "alkars" - lance-wielding horsemen dressed in
traditional costume - match their skills as they target a metal
ring ("alka") suspended over a race track.
The tournament is held every year to mark the victory of local
inhabitants against invading Ottoman Turks in 1715.
The winner gets a special prize from the President - a golden
ring and a sabre.
