VINKOVCI, 19 Dec (Hina) - A section of the railway line Vinkovci-
Gunja-state border (with Bosnia-Herzegovina) has been
reconstructed, said Josip Balenovic, Croatian Railways (HZ)
representative in Vinkovci. The section will be opened for traffic
on Monday, 23 December, after five years. #L#
The section, which is 6,600 meters long, passed with most of
its length through the currently U.N.-administered area. After
recent talks, UNTAES withdrew, and the railway line Vinkovci-Gunja-
state border is now completely under Croatian authority.
The opening of the rest of the railway line, which runs to the
state border with Bosnia-Herzegovina, is expected to take place in
April next year, Balenovic said.
According to Balenovic, 38 Serb railway men from the Croatian
Danubian area would undergo medical check-ups in Vinkovci and join
the Croatian Railways system.
