Not to nitpick, but 31 years is more than 3 decades.

To nitpick, a government organised effort to remove the mines did not begin immediarely after the war. The croatian parliament enacted a demining act in 1996 (almost but not quite 30 years ago) and the publically funded and organised deming efforts started in 1998.

Also, “more than three decades ago” is also more than two decades ago.
