BOGDANOVCI, August 26 (Hina) - Rudolf Koenig, Prefect of the
Vukovar-Srijem County on Wednesday visited Bogdanovci, one of the
most devastated villages in the Croatian Danube Region (eastern
Croatia).
During the visit he was informed about the process of the
restructuring of this village greatly damaged by war by the
Bogdanovci Municipal Head Pavica Filkovac.
"Although one of the most devastated villages in the Vukovar -
Srijem County, Bogdanovci is an excellent example of high-quality,
efficient reconstruction. Much credit for a great number of new
houses no doubt goes to the municipal authorities, but also to the
local population, who has become actively involved in the
reconstruction of their village," Koenig said.
Currently 222 houses are being restored, 44 more than planned,
which is another indicator of the reconstructing success, Filkovac
said.
Prefect Koenig added that, unlike in Bogdanovci, the restructuring
process in other war-damaged places in the Vukovar - Srijem County
was extremely slow. One of the reasons was that many owners had not
yet gathered all necessary documentation, which in its turn slowed
down the issuing of restructuring approvals.
The Prefect announced a meeting with the representatives of the
Ministry of Reconstruction and Development at the beginning of
September with the purpose of accelerating the reconstruction
process.
"The 2,180 housing units, whose reconstruction is under way in the
Vukovar - Srijem County, represents only 50 per cent of buildings to
be reconstructed, and the end of year is our deadline", Koenig
said.
Accompanying him during his visit to Bogdanovci was a Parliament
representative, Dragan Papac.
