The Croatian delegation visited the church of St. Philip and
Jacob, the town museum, Count Eltz's chateau, the Vukovar secondary
school and other institutions which were damaged during the Serb
aggression on Vukovar.
After returning to Vinkovci, Biskupic expressed conviction
that the cooperation with UNTAES would continue.
He asked UNTAES to take a more active approach towards the
reconstruction of the cultural heritage.
The final estimate of war damages and the return to the
cultural heritage to Vukovar are expected, which the Croatian
government had already asked of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The cultural town centre has a priority status in
reconstruction and there are already drawn up urban development
plans for it.
