SARAJEVO, Sept 21 (Hina) - The Office of the High Representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina, UNHCR, and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission on Tuesday repeated their call on refugees and displaced people
to reclaim their pre-war property, primarily socially-owned flats over which they had tenancy rights, by October 4. In a joint statement for the Sarajevo media, the three organisations recall that the deadline for claiming back flats has still not expired for persons whose tenancy rights have been annulled by a court ruling, those whose flats have never been declared abandoned and are being illegally used by someone else, as well as those whose flats had been damaged or destroyed during the war. All those who between April 1, 1992 and February 7, 1998 voluntarily gave up their tenancy rights in exchange for some other flat, also have the right to reclaim their pre-war flats. T
