b) Kod trajnog obilježavanja postavljaju se metalni ( fi 40x2 mm, kvadratni 40x40x2 mm ili profil „L” 40x40x3 mm) ili betonski kočići (8x8 cm) na maksimalnom rastojanju do 6 m, povezani bodljikavom žicom, na visini od 0,3 m, 0,75 m i 1,2 m od nivoa tla sa pričvršćenim minskim znacima minimalno datih dimenzija 25x25 cm, na maksimalnom rastojanju 12 m povezani za gornju i srednju žicu (svako drugo polje). Ovaj način obilježavanja je vizuelna i fizička prepreka za ljude i životinje.
Kad se trajna minska ograda kombinuje sa samostalnim minskim znacima, tada su isti minimalnih dimenzija 40x40 cm a postavljaju se na maksimalnom razmaku od 50 m, vodeći računa da se sa mjesta jednog vidi drugi.
Skica ove minske ograde i samostalnog minskog znaka prikazana je u nastavku.
Trajno obilježavanje koristiti za obilježavanje granice sa poznatom rizičnom površinom ili utvrđenom kroz završene deminerske zadatke (čišćenja ili PBUR u tehničkom izviđanju) III kategorije prioriteta, gdje se nastavak radova planira u periodu od jedne do pet godina. U cilju sigurnog održavanja trajnog obilježavanja, isto postaviti u sigurnoj površini minimalno 2 m od rizične, odnosno dostignute rizične granice koja je obilježena završnim obilježavanjem (poglavlje VIII, prilog C).
BHMAC radi projekte trajnog obilježavanja, vodi evidenciju i kontroliše kvalitet radova. Po završetku radova nosilac aktivnosti (općina) i izvođač sačinjavaju zapisnik o završetku radova trajnog obilježavanja. Zapisnik dat u prilogu D.

a) In semi-permanent marking, wooden pickets are used (5x5 cm in diameter) at maximum distance of 6 m, connected with plastic mine tape, rope or a wire at the height of 0,25 m and 1,25 m from the ground level, with mine signs at maximum distance up to 18 m (every third picket). This manner of marking is easily distinguished and sufficient to warn a person of MINE threat.
When a semi-permanent fence is combined with individual mine signs, the stated mine signs will be of square shape, with minimum dimensions of 40x40 cm, placed on a wooden stick at maximum distance of 50 m, taking into consideration that they are visible from one to another.
Sketch of such mine fence and individual semi-marking mine sign is shown further in text.
Semi-permanent marking is used for marking the boundary of completed demining tasks (clearance or AWDR in technical survey) with the risk areas, where continuation of work is planned within up to a year. In order to safely maintain the marking, it is to be set minimum 2 m before reached boundary, which is marked through final marking (Chapter VIII, Annex C).
| English to Croatian: excerpt from the novel "Jelly Bones"

There was no light, so there was nothing to see. I closed my eyes. I took a really big breath -- when one had jelly bones and the rest of one was pretty stretchy one could take a really big breath -- and dove to the bottom of the enclosed pool, feeling along the walls for anything useful. A crack, perhaps, or a drain I could pull the plug from or unscrew or otherwise manipulate. My fingers had the ability to shape and harden or soften as I directed them. Most of my body did. A screwdriver from an index finger was nothing, Phillips or flathead, I didn't care, although turning a screw was a bit more involved, since all of me had to turn.
The inner surface of the pool was smoother than most surfaces I had encountered. It didn't even have any corners, just curves. It reminded me of glazed porcelain, pleasant to feel even though it was cool to the touch. For a while I rolled along the walls, enjoying the smoothness against my skin. But tactile pleasure wouldn't do me much good in this situation if I ran out of air.

Nije bilo svjetla, pa se nije imalo što ni vidjeti. Sklopio sam oči. Jako duboko sam udahnuo – kad netko ima kosti od želea a ostatak mu je prilično rastezljiv, taj netko može zbilja ja duboko i udahnuti - i uronio do dna zatvorenog bazena, pipkajući zidove u potrazi za bilo čime korisnim. Možda kakvom pukotinom ili odvodom iz kojeg bi mogao izvaditi čep, odvrnuti ili ga se na neki drugi način riješiti. Prsti su mi mogli promijeniti oblik, otvrdnuti ili omekšati onako kako bi mi najviše odgovaralo. To se odnosilo na veći dio moga tijela. Nije bila nikakva velika stvar natjerati kažiprst da se pretvori u odvijač, Phillipsov ili neki drugi, nije me bilo druga, premda je pretvoriti prst u odvijač značilo malo više truda jer sam se morao cijeli okretati.
Unutrašnjost bazena je bila ravnija od bilo koje druge površine koju sam do tad osjetio. Nije bilo nikakvih kutova, samo zavoji. Podsjetila me na uglačani porculan ugodan no prilično hladnjikav na dodir. Neko vrijeme sam se klizao zidovima, koža mi je uživala u glatkoći. No osjetilno zadovoljstvo mi neće baš puno poslužiti u ovakvoj situaciji kad ostanem bez zraka.

PHILLIP QUINN died at the age of thirteen. Since the overworked and underpaid staff at the Baltimore City Hospital emergency room zapped him back in less than ninety seconds, he wasn't dead very long.
As far as he was concerned, it was plenty long enough.
What had killed him, briefly, were two .25-caliber bullets pumped out of a Saturday night special shoved through the open window of a stolen Toyota Celica. The finger on the trigger had belonged to a close personal friend—or as near to a close personal friend as a thirteen-year-old thief could claim on Baltimore's bad streets.
The bullets missed his heart. Not by much, but in later years Phillip considered it just far enough.
That heart, young and strong, though sadly jaded, continued to beat as he lay there, pouring blood over the used condoms and crack vials in the stinking gutter on the corner of Fayette and Paca.
The pain was obscene, like sharp, burning icicles stabbing into his chest. But that grinning pain refused to take him under, into the release of unconsciousness. He lay awake and aware, hearing the screams of other victims or bystanders, the squeal of brakes, the revving of engines, and his own ragged and rapid breaths.
He'd just fenced a small haul of electronics that he'd stolen from a third-story walk-up less than four blocks away. He had two hundred fifty dollars in his pocket and had swaggered down to score a dime bag to help him get through the night. Since he'd just been sprung from ninety days in juvie for another B and E that hadn't gone quite so smoothly, he'd been out of the loop. And out of cash.

PHILLIP QUINN je umro u trinaestoj godini. Preumorni i neadekvanto plaćeni medicinari traumatološkog odjela bolnice Baltimore City skrpili su ga za manje od devedest sekundi, tako da i nije pretjerano dugo bio mrtav.
Da se njega pitalo, rekao bi kako je to prilično dugo vremena.
Ukratko, ono što ga je ubilo bila su dva .25-kalibarska zrna ispaljena iz jeftinog pištolja kroz otvoren prozor ukradene Toyote Celice. Prst na okidaču pripadao je njegovom bliskom prijatelju – ili prijatelju bliskom onoliko koliko to trinaestogodišnjem lopovu na ulicama Baltimora itko može biti.
Metak je promašio srce. Ne mnogo, no kasnijih će godina Phillip reći kako je to bilo sasvim dovoljno.
Iako iznureno, mlado i snažno srce nastavilo je kucati dok je ležao u smrdljivom kanalu na uglu ulica Fayette i Paca, krvareći po iskorištenim kondomima i bočicama cracka.
Bol je bila neopisiva; osjećao se kao da mu se oštre i usijane ledenice zabadaju u prsa. Nepodnošljiva kakva je bila, nije ga uspjela shrvati i povući u mekoću nesvijesti. Ležao je tamo, budan i svjestan, ležao i slušao krike nekih drugih žrtava ili kakvih običnih prolaznika, slušao je cviljene kočnica, turiranje motora i svoj hrapavi, ubrzani dah.
Upravo je uvalio preprodavaču hrpicu elektronike koju je maznuo u dućanu na trećem katu zgrade bez lifta tek neka četiri bloka odatle. Imao je pri sebi dvjesta pedeset dolara koji su mu se šepurili u novčaniku i mogao je progurati noć. Tek je odgulio ne tako jednostavnu tromjesečnu kaznu u domu za maloljetne prijestupnike zbog prethodne provale i upada. Bio je slobodan i bio je bez kinte.
