130 CROAT HOUSES IN MOSTAR TO BE RECONSTRUCTED - GARROD

( Editorial: --> 7696 ) MOSTAR, Sept 2 (Hina) - The international community has secured funds for the reconstruction of 130 houses in the Mostar area, Martin Garrod, head of the regional Office of the High Representative, said in Mostar on Wednesday. The houses are intended for Croat returnees, Garrod said. He announced a possibility of investing seven million German marks in the reconstruction of Mostar airport and called on the town leadership to take part in reconstruction plans. High Representative Carlos Westendorp has decided that Mostar airport should be under control of a transitional administration committee for the next six months, Garrod said. The committee would include three Croat and three Bosniak members and be chaired by an international representative, Garrod added. A Bosniak house was mined last weekend in Stolac, south-east of Mostar, UN spokeswoman Kelly Moore told reporters. No one was injured in the incident, she added. (hina) rml 021926 MET sep 98
