Sarajevo - Bosnia will need 10 years and 400 million euros (541.3 million dollars) to clear the 220,000 mines remaining from the 1992-95 war, Bosnian Mine Action Centre (MAC) said Monday.

Bosnian government hoped that a third of the money, 125 million euros by 2019, would come from donors - mainly governments of United States, Canada, Austria, Germany, Norway and Sweden, MAC spokeswoman Sjvetlana Trifkovic told the German Press Agency dpa.

The rest of the money would come from Bosnian government or through various loans, she added.

The MAC estimates that some 220,000 mines and other explosive ordnance remained 14 years after the war ended. Since 1996, 468 people died and 1,181 was injured by the remaining mines.

The mines cover area of 1,700 square kilometres, around 3,2 per cent of Bosnia's territory, where some 900,000 people live. (dpa)
