KNEZEVI VINOGRADI, July 7 (Hina) - Representatives of Knezevi
Vinogradi and the International Organisation for Migrations (IOM)
signed an agreement on Tuesday to aid reconstruction and return in
the Danube River region municipality.
The agreement worth 875,000 German marks was financed by the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of its
Return Assistance Programme (RAP).
Emphasising the reasons why the IOM had decided to help Knezevi
Vinogradi, IOM mission to Croatia head Jacques Schutjes said how a
multinational population lived in the municipality, and since the
establishment of Croatian authority there had not been any
problems.
We want to assist in the building of infrastructure and small
business and the development of democracy, Schutjes said.
Before the war in 1991 Knezevi Vinogradi had a population of about
6,000 people comprising 40 per cent Hungarians, 26 per cent Croats,
21 per cent Serbs and 13 per cent others.
But so far only 437 people, mostly Hungarians, had returned to the
municipality in the north of Croatia's eastern region of Baranja.
Municipal head Kresimir Kramaric said it was expected about another
1,000 people would be returning, which would at any rate fast-track
the establishment of conditions for work and living.
