- <p> [Text] Split, 12 June--NEDJELJNJA DALMACIJA reports that
- the Yugoslav Army stored at least 13 tonnes of radioactive
- material, generated by the production of atomic bombs in the
- former Soviet Union, on the territory of Banija, near Dvor Na
- Uni. The then SFRY [Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]
- and Soviet defense ministers, Ljubicic and Ustinov, agreed that
- the Soviet Union would sell Yugoslav Army arms and equipment at
- low prices, and in return the Yugoslav Army would take care of
- radioactive waste from the Soviet Union. In 1979, radioactive
- waste was first brought through Romania to Yugoslavia. At first
- it was stored in the Boris Kidric Institute in Vinca, from where
- it was transported to Banija. According to NEDJELJNJA DALMACIJA,
- radioactive waste from the Soviet Union is also stored in Glina,
- in the Aleksinac mines, and in Plitvice.
