2003 CRO-051 $67,226
Location: Bila Vlaka village, Stankovci, Zadar County
Donor: Peacekeepers Demining Fund Project in memory of Master Corporal Mark Isfeld

This 27,000 square metre area contaminated by mines included homes, a local playground, and a portion of the Vuksic-Bila Vlaka Stankovci road belt. The land consists of rocky terrain with dense underbrush and grass with pastures in the area. Demining this area was vital to ensure the safety of inhabitants. Both anti-tank and anti-personnel mines were found and removed.

2003 CRO-055 $59,983
Location: Lipje village, Karlovac, Karlovac County
Donor: Night of a Thousand Dinners, Service Clubs and CIDA

This 25,000 square metre minefield included several foot paths and an access lane to the river Kupa as well as fields and an area next to the village and near the river bank. Vegetation near the bank of the Kupa river and along the drainage canals is dense (willow and poplar trees as well as reeds and bushes), while the rest of the area is covered with grass and reed. Demining this area enabled local residents to reach the river safely to extract gravel necessary for use in construction.

2002 CRO-048 $68,794
Location: Gracac village
Donor: Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
This was a 20,000 square metre minefield near the former confrontation line, between 50-100 meters in front of where infantry were positioned alongside the southern side of the Bicine Gracas local road. The area was devastated during the war. The terrain is mainly flat, with some slopes and rocky soil. Both anti-personnel and anti-tank mines were found in the area.

2001 CRO-039 $87,867
Location: Village of Spike Hamlet
Donor: Foundations, Service Clubs, Individuals and CIDA
This was a 19,800 square metre minefield in a village with 60 houses impacted by the conflict in the 1990's. The presence of the landmines inhibited the return of refugees. Ten families returned initially but existed in dangerous circumstances.
