DEPUTY INTERIOR MINISTER MEETS NEW HEAD OF IOM MISSION IN CROATIA

( Vidi vijest: 6172 ) ZAGREB, Oct 27 (Hina) - A Croatian Deputy Interior Minister, Zlatko Gledec, on Monday received the new head of the International Organisation for Migrations (IOM) mission in Croatia, Jacques Shcutjes and the former head, Andreas Halbach, the interior ministry's information office said in a statement. During the past four years the IOM and the Croatian interior ministry had cooperated exceptionally well, and it was expected that such cooperation would continue with the new head of the IOM mission, Halbach said. The IOM has dedicated much attention to providing accommodation for refugees coming from war-affected areas into other countries as well as to their safe return to their former places of residence. The IOM and the interior ministry worked together well on the prevention of illegal migrations, read the statement. (hina) jn mš 272013 MET oct 97
