MOSTAR HOSTS ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION ON CO-EXISTENCE, RULE OF LAW

MOSTAR, Oct 31 (Hina) - During the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, 40 percent of the country's pre-war population had to leave their homes, and only one third has returned in the meantime, it was said at a round table discussion on tolerance, co-existence and the rule of law, organised by the Citizens for Human Rights Protection Association in Mostar on Friday. #L# Participants in the event warned that property was swapped on a massive scale and reconstructed housing units were sold because returnees did not want to be treated as a minority in areas where another people was in the majority. Some participants called this "a silent ethnic regrouping and realisation of the idea of so- called humane resettlement". (hina) rml sb
