MOSTAR, May 10 (Hina) - Office of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in the southern Bosnia-Herzegovina town of Mostar on Wednesday said that in the year 2000, not a single Bosnian Croat family returned to
Herzegovina. At the same time, 200 Bosniak and 50 Serb families returned to their pre-war homes which were reconstructed with the help of the UNHCR. It is sad that Croats failed to use the opportunity to return this year, which is the crucial year for the return due to the decrease of the UNHCR budget, head of the UNHCR office in Mostar Tilak Abeysinghe said. Abeysinghe said that seven Bosnian Croat families were negotiating with the UNHCR on the possibility of the return in demolished or occupied houses. He added that as a part of the Stability Pact, reconstruction projects worth US$40 million have been offered.(hina) it
