( Editorial: --> 4650 ) ZAGREB, Oct 1 (Hina) - A group of Croatian experts on environmental protection, who have just successfully completed a one-year course on environmentally safe manufacturing, received certificates in Zagreb on Thursday. The course was organised as part of a three-year United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) project on the creation of preconditions for safer manufacturing, and it was finished by 32 experts. The project, which was accepted by the Croatian Government last year, is being conducted by the UNIDO, the Ministry of Economy and the State Administration for Environmental Protection (DUZPO). The Agency for Special Waste and the Czech Centre for Environmentally Safer Manufacturing are securing the implementation of the project. The value of the project is US $260,000, and it is almost completely sponsored by the Czech Government. So far Croatia has invested $57,000 in the project. (hina) jn it/rml 011709 MET oct 98
