Unexploded bombs and other ordnance that have been found will soon go through the proper methods of safe destruction in the popular coastal Istrian city of Pula.
Whether they’re from the Second World War or from the much more recent Homeland War, unexploded mines and other types of ordnance are still discovered all over the country, with many places, particularly in Lika, issuing public warnings about potential mines in forests, around mountains and in other more remote locations.
As Morski writes on the 2nd of February, 2020, the working group for demining activities of the Vallelunga Warehouse in Pula agreed on the need for, and the concrete steps that need to be taken to discover any unexploded ordnance from the Seond World War and safely remove them as soon as possible, and the action itself will begin on Tuesday, February the 4th this year.
This is a port area that was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Croatia, and due to the complexity and the sheer extent of the procedure at hand, the rehabilitation of the aforementioned area will take place in stages.
During the first phase, the preparation of the area, which will be taken care of by a company called Viktor from the Istrian city Rovinj, will be carried out under the strict supervision of the Ministry of Interior’s anti-explosion team. Upon completion of all of the necessary preparation of the area, it will be thoroughly inspected by MUP personnel using specialised machinery.
The removal of unexploded ordnance from the Second World War, which will be coordinated by the Port Authority of Pula and the Ministry of the Interior, will be carried out by professional and licensed personnel under very strict supervision and under maximum security conditions.
