The Danube's bonny, bloody banks

Article Abstract:

War has left Vukovar, Croatia, physically damaged, but Croatians are returning to the city, from where they fled in 1991, and Serbs are staying in Vukovar. This coexistence is seen as an achievement in Croatia. Meanwhile, Novi Sad in Yugoslavia was bombed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and three bridges in the city have been destroyed, preventing ships travelling to and from other countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. The oil refinery was also hit, and the city's drinking water could be poisoned.

Death on the Danube

Article Abstract:

A cyanide spillage has led to the death of fish in the river Danube in several countries. The spillage came from a gold mine in Romania and has also affected Yugoslavia nd Hungary. This episode raises questions about river pollution in eastern Europe, especially since the Danube is used for irrigation and drinking water. There is an agreement made in 1998 on river usage that is not policed, and no compensation system has been set up to deal with incidents of pollution.

Drawing a line in the Danube

Article Abstract:

Sanctions have caused living conditions to decline in Serbia, but oil and other materials important to military activities are brought through the Danube River. The river is an international waterway, but a military blockade would effectively tighten the embargo.
