History
In late June of 1996, railway traffic between Mirkovci railway station and Vinkovci railway station was re-established after being suspended for more than five years during the Croatian War of Independence.[1] The inaugural train from Vinkovci was accompanied by UNTAES administrator Jacques Paul Klein.[1]
On 19 January 2012 reconstruction of the Mirkovci railway station was completed.[2] It was a part of reconstruction of nine railway stations on 67 kilometer route between Vinkovci and Tovarnik-Croatia–Serbia border funded from the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance of the European Union (48%) and Croatian Government (52%).[2]
