This location is 1km south of Bosnaska Krupa center, near the highway towards Bihac-Banja Luka. The confrontation line from past conflict is near the site. The area around the location is densely populated and is a part of a town, bordering housing and extending into agricultural land. Several mine incidents occurred at this location, with seven people injured and three killed. Demining this location will ultimately enable the local population to use agricultural land as well as insuring their safety.

This location is within Orasje municipality in Posavski canton. Both the HVO (Croatian army) and the VRS (Republika Srpska Army) fought near this site. Demining this area will enable former residents to return safely to Ostra Luka village. Removing mines will also restore agricultural producation in the area. Despite the mine threat in this area, residents continue to use the surrounding land. Signs placed to warn residents of mines have been removed several times.
The minefield is located in Cekrlije, 5km southeast of the center of Bihac. The area is near hills and borders a forested area on one side and a road which leads through the village to the local cemetery and houses further south.The location is above the cemetery and encloses agricultural land previously cultivated by locals. The area was also the site of a front line during the war. Houses and gardens in the area were partially damaged, and locals are now attempting to restore both. Demining the location will increase the safety of village inhabitants and enable residents in the area to access the land and forests.

The village of Kula is in Busovaca municipality, 3km northeast of Busovaca centre. During the war, this village was between the HVO and ABIH confrontation line and is presently abandoned because the threat of mines prevents villagers from returning. While no mine accidents have been recorded in the area, estimates indicated that several types of AP mines and UXO are present.

The location of Bijela Ploca is in the northern part of Maglaj municipality, approximately 2.6 km north of Maglaj town. During the war, this location was situated between teh ABiH and VRS confrontation lines. Interviews with locals from the area indicate that several types of AP mines and UXO contaminate the area. Sparse trees and bushes mark the landscape and the soil here consists primarily of sand and clay. An area resident was killed after stepping on a PROM-1 AP mine recently. This project area includes two houses, which can be rebuilt following clearance. Demining this area will also enable refugees to return to the area.
Homes destroyed during the war in this location have not been rebuilt due to mine-contamination in the area. Demining this area will enable reconstruction efforts to begin and also create conditions for the safe cultivation of land, which is essential for the local population. Clearance will also allow the population to move freely in the area and draw picnickers and tourists back again.

Before the war, 80 households lived in the Orah area. During the war 80 percent of the housing units here were completely devastated. While five percent of the pre-war population have returned to their homes, the minefields left as a legacy of the war remain a threat to the population and interfere with plans to return citizens to the area. Within this contaminated project area, there are four housing units that could used for three returning families. This location also includes agricultural land that can provide area residents with income once demined. Before the war, residents depended on both agriculture and cattle breeding as their main source of income. A low voltage power line route passes through this location and can be reconstructed following mine clearance in the area.

The location of this project is 18 km southeast of Mostar town in the village of Orah. The local roads connecting the villages Orah and Malopolje form the eastern and southeastern borders of the contaminated area. Demining this location would enable area residents to reconstruct homes and move safely throughout the area without the risk of mines. The presence of minefields in the nearby village of Malo Polje Blagaj is preventing a reconstruction and development programme started last year from moving forward.
Demining this area will enable area residents to rebuild homes destroyed during the war. This particular location includes two houses and a water well that currently does not function. The line fo separation during the war was located close to this project. Local civilians believe that the nearby creek is mined. On March 18, 2001, a resident stepped on a PROM-1 AP mine on his way to the village.

In 1992, this area saw signficant fighting. The soldiers on the defensive position mined the access to the village and the edge of the forest on all four sides. After some initial demining and marking of suspected mined-areas, there has not been an attempt to finish clearing this area. By demining the area, villagers would be able to sue the land for agriculture.
This minefield, the road to Semestica, is in an area that is very important for the tourism industry. Prior to the war, the area was used for hunting and fishing and also provided a source of clean water.
This minefield is in between war lines of separation with visible remains of rows and trenches. The local population has discovered landmines in an attempt to use their agricultural land. Once this area has been demined, local residents will be able to use the fertile soil for crops and to raise cattle.
This minefield is one half of a larger field that previously housed 1203 people. The mined areas are close to homes and the Mostar-Sarajevo railroad. Once cleared, refugees who fled this area during the war will be able to return and cultivate the land near their homes. A road is also planned for this area.

This minefield is preventing the reconstruction of a water supply unit which would be the main water supply for one part of the village of Zavrsje. The funds to rebuild this water supply are available so the clearance of this minefield is very high priority.
This project will provide landmine survivors with a livelihood by training them to be bee-keepers. Ten carefully chosen survivors will be supplied with the necessary equipment and training. Apiculture will provide pleasure as well as money, earned by selling honey and its products. The ten bee-keepers with have on-going assistance from experienced beek-keepers.
The project will become self-sustainable through a Common Honey Fund
which would be presented to the other mine victims, foremost to children.
