JAJCE, Jan 28 (Hina) - "So far 87 Bosniac (Moslem) families, or about 300 Bosniacs, have returned to Jajce. We have broaden, on our own, our obligation, under a pilot programme, to let 200 (Moslem) families come back, to another 157
families in order to speed up the return of Bosniacs," the mayor of Jajce, a Croat Nikola Bilic, said on Sunday.

Bilic claimed that the return of Moslems to Jajce was slow due
to "the lack of organization of Bosniac authorities."
Since the 13 September 1995 liberation of Jajce from the Serb
occupation, about 10,000 Croats have returned, or 50 per cent of
Croat population before the outbreak of war in 1992.
Bilic said that all utilities were functioning very well, the
hospital, the primary school, two secondary schools and some 40
shops and services were open.
He added that bauxite mines and factories were protected.
However, workers and other professionals are needed for the start
of production, which may facilitate the return of Croats and
Moslems, according to the mayor.
At the moment there are about 1100 workers employed in Jajce,
who are earning about 300 German marks monthly, according to him.
