The "Night of a Thousand Dinners" fund-raiser was held under the sponsorship of the Canadian and US embassies and attended, among others, by President Stjepan Mesic, Canadian Ambassador Stefanie Beck and US Ambassador Ralph Frank.
The purpose of the fifth fund-raising dinner organised by the AmCham was to raise funds to remove mines from some 70,000 square metres of land near the primary school in Tordinci in Vukovar County.
The school is attended by some 150 children.
The Zagreb event is part of the global campaign "Night of a Thousand Dinners", launched at the initiative of the Canadian Landmine Foundation and the United Nations Association of the USA to assist the programme Adopt-A-Minefield.
The previous four Zagreb events helped raise more than USD 220,000 which were used to remove mines from some 137,000 square metres of land.
As in previous years, the funds raised at yesterday's event will be augmented by the Canadian and US governments.
