VUKOVAR, Aug 24 (Hina) - "The return to Vukovar is not progressing
according to the dynamics we envisaged and expected," the mayor of
the eastern Croatian town, Vladimir Stengl, told Croatian Radio in
Vukovar on Monday.
It is now completely certain that this year will not be the year of
return, Stengl said.
In this respect it is necessary to effect certain corrections
regarding the expected number of returnees to Vukovar by the
beginning of the school year, he added.
"It is a fact that not all conditions for a speedier return of
returnees to Vukovar have been realised," Stengl said, adding he
hoped this would happen next spring when a large number of housing
buildings which are currently being renovated will be completed.
A total of 811 flats in Vukovar have been reconstructed so far,
including some 350 whose reconstruction was financed by the
international community, the mayor said.
According to data from the Office for Displaced Persons and
Refugees in Vinkovci, 425 families with 917 members and a regulated
returnee status have returned to the Vukovar area by August 12.
After the exile in 1991, the displaced person status was granted to
19,789 inhabitants of Vukovar.
