A group of Austrian hunters, accompanied by Croatian hunters, hunted for boars in the forest Luduc. Stefan Ninaus, director of the Austrian Tourist Agency 'Ninaus', who organised the visit of Austrian hunters, expressed satisfaction with the organisation of the hunting and accommodation. He also expressed satisfaction with the beauty of the region and the plenitude of wild animals. Pavle Vrataric, head of the Forest Management in Osijek, stressed that the first hunt in Baranja, organised for foreigners, was important because it was the best proof that the security situation was good. The process of revival of forest and hunting economy in Baranja had started with the reintegration of the Croatian Forest Management, said Vrataric. (hina) rm 211210 MET dec 97
