This minefield is divided into three sections. The area makes up a small part of the agricultural lands belonging to the Osijek Institute. The land is mostly flat terrain with dense vegetation and is crossed by several irrigation channels (primarily high grass with young willows located along the channels). Mine clearance will support further scientific research at the Institute such as developing advanced agriculural cultures, creating new hybrids, and continuing the process of cultivating new seeds. Demining will also return fertile land to the profitable agricultural industry in the area, benefitting local farmers.
