Within its possibilities, the Croatian Foreign Ministry shall assist people and the region they live in. Yesterday, Consul Counsellor Belanić visited the village of Kostajnica in the municipality of Konjic where he talked with the local parish priest don Anto Ledić, as well as with several returnees who live in the village.
They discussed possibilities of assisting this village after tragic events so as to alleviate and remove its consequences. Within the assistance program for Croats to return to Bosnia and Herzegovina, financed by the Croatian Government by donation of construction material, and in agreement with the competent Administration of the Ministry of Public Works, Reconstruction and Construction, Croats in Kostajnica were offered assistance in reconstructing housing units that were damaged during the war.
It was established that the library and lecture room require complete reconstruction, and that it may be a place where Croats will be able to nurture Croatian culture.
By visiting the Anđelić family, Croatian representatives wanted to show that victims will not be forgotten. They also examined the current situation, so that adequate resolution may be found for improving the conditions of life of this family, and informed wounded Marinko Anđelić of this.
