HDZ SOLI -ELECTIONS
HDZ: IN ITS ELECTION CAMPAIGN NO PARTY MENTIONED POSITION
OF CROATS
TUZLA, Sep 30 (FENA) – None of the
political parties or coalitions running in the municipal elections in the Tuzla
Canton, except for the HDZ, has ever as much as mentioned the position of the
Croats during the election campaign, let alone offered any solution for the
problems facing them – it is said in a statement released by the HDZ Cantonal
Board (CB) Soli.
That
is why the HDZ CB in Soli calls upon the Croats in all Tuzla Canton
municipalities to prevent, by going to the polls, the dying out of the Croats.
This failing their future and the future of their children will be at
stake.
”The
Bosniacs, we are quite aware of that, are going to win this election and set up
their government in all municipalities. Our chance of participating in
decision-making, however, will depend on the turnout of the Croats in the
election” – the statement of the HDZ Cantonal Board Soli concludes.

INTERSOS DEMINING PROJECT
SREBRENICA,
September 30 (FENA) – Italian humanitarian organisation INTERSOS started the
implementation of the demining and protection from mines project in Srebrenica
municipality today with a visit to high-risk areas.
“Srebrenica
municipality is among the most endangered areas in BiH with 70 square
kilometres identified as areas of high risk”, INTERSOS team member Aleksandar
Milanovic said. Visits to Sasa, Osmace, Osatice, Donji Potocari and Cicevci
will be organised during October.
The
objective of the first phase of the project is to identify priority areas for
demining operations.
“Education
for the local population is also planned in order to inform them about the
danger of mines. Attention needs to be focussed on displaced persons, returnees
and members of hunting associations as these categories face the highest risk”,
Milanovic said.
Round
tables and the development of operational plans for demining and permanent
marking of mine fields are planned for the following phases.
