Serbia is deeply concerned about the issue of unexploded ordnance in post-conflict zones, particularly along its border with Croatia where hundreds have been killed or injured by landmines since the Croatian War of Independence. The Serbia-Croatia border region remains dangerous as a post-conflict zone, posing risks both to hikers warned about landmines and Syrian refugees not always aware of the danger. Serbia calls on the UN and member countries to take immediate action to help solve this important issue of ensuring the safe removal of unexploded ordnance from post-conflict areas.

ISSUE: Ensuring the safe removal of unexploded ordnance from post-conflict zones COUNTRY: Serbia Serbia, as a country, is deeply concerned about the issue of unexploded ordnance in postconflict zones. We believe that the UN should take action about this important issue. We have an enormous post-conflict zone around our borders with Croatia. We have had a conflict with Croatia during The Croatian War of Independence . The war has already costed both sides many lives and, unfortunately, it still does. Hikers have been warned countless times by both Serbia and Croatia about the landmines in this post-conflict zone yet as of 4 April 2013 a total of 509 people had been killed and 1,466 injured by land mines in 1,352 incidents in Croatia. Croatia-Serbia border has also been on the route of Syrian refugees who are not always concerned about the landmines. Its depressing that those people who escape war and try to give their children their best chances may die because of a post-conflict zone. Thats why we encourage Hungary and other Balkan countries to open their borders for refugees to pass through and reach Germany so that they wont have to pass through Serbia-Croatia post-conflict zone. We, as the delegation of Serbia, believe that this is a very important issue that must be solved immediately with the help of UN organizations and member countries. Serbia has suffered from both wars and post-conflict zones, may the other countries not have such hardships!
