A remote-controlled demining machine covers 427,858 square meters in 4 months
Bosnia-Herzegovina has over 1366 mine impacted communities. The suspect regions cover more than 4% of the country, directly impacting on the livelihoods of over 1.3 million people. Norwegian People´s Aid (
NPA) has been hard at work during the end of 2006 to tackle this threat by deploying technical survey and mine clearance teams, resulting in the destruction of 239 AP mines and 25 pieces of unexploded ordnance during a 4 month period of operations in the Omerbegovaca Brčko District. The Mini MineWolf machine conducted ground preparation for this project with MineWolf systems providing full service and mechanical support.
