<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.
