  • Land mines were used extensively during the war by all sides in the conflict: about 1.5 million were laid across the country between 1991-95.<br />
<br />
In 1997, more than 600,000 refugees still remained outside the country; landmines have impeded the return of many. Those who do return often find that their land has become a minefield. These returning refugees have little mine awareness, and, having been away from their communities, they do not know the location of minefields.<br />
<br />
There are thought to be still between 51,000 and 100,000 mines covering a 310-square-mile area across the country.  At least 509 people have been killed and another 1,466 wounded by the devices in Croatia since the war ended.<br />
<br />
It is hoped that by 2019 all suspected minefields will be cleared.

  • Land mines were used extensively during the war by all sides in the conflict: about 1.5 million were laid across the country between 1991-95.<br />
<br />
In 1997, more than 600,000 refugees still remained outside the country; landmines have impeded the return of many. Those who do return often find that their land has become a minefield. These returning refugees have little mine awareness, and, having been away from their communities, they do not know the location of minefields.<br />
<br />
There are thought to be still between 51,000 and 100,000 mines covering a 310-square-mile area across the country.  At least 509 people have been killed and another 1,466 wounded by the devices in Croatia since the war ended.<br />
<br />
It is hoped that by 2019 all suspected minefields will be cleared.
