FUZINE, 20 Nov (Hina) - A Croatian government delegation, led by Premier Zlatko Matesa, on Wednesday visited the construction site of the Zagreb-Rijeka motorway, at the section Ostrovica-Delnice (some 110 km southwest of Zagreb), where construction works are almost completed. Premier Matesa said that the Ostrovica-Delnice section would be opened for traffic in 15 days by the Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. By summer 1997, another 30-km-long section from Delnice to Kupjak (in the direction of Zagreb) will be completed. The government delegation included vice premiers Borislav Skegro and Jure Radic, Defence Minister Gojko Susak and the general director of Croatian Roads, Aleksandar Caklovic. The government delegation was welcomed by the government commissioner for Rijeka County, Zlatko Pavelic, and Rijeka County Prefect Josip Roje in the tunnel Tuhobic, at the section Delnice- Ostrovica.
