The Swiss-Croatian cooperation project has funded the removal of mines and social and economic integration in this area, one of the worst mine-infested parts of Croatia in the 1990s Homeland War. As part of this cooperation programme mines left after the war were removed from an area of 3.26 square kilometres and also psycho-social measures were taken to help war victims and employ mine victims in the wider Kotar forest area. Addressing today’s ceremony, Swiss Ambassador Urs Hammer said that the success of the mine clearance project was also a symbol of partnership-based cooperation between Switzerland and Croatia. Today we have closed a chapter of the difficult past and we can look forward to the future with more optimism. The forest can now be used for different activities and recreation. This is also beneficial to the health of local residents, and the trail can be also attractive to travellers and enhance the quality of life in the area, Ambassador Hammer said. Petrinja Mayor Magdalena Komes thanked the Swiss Confederation and other stakeholders involved in this project.
