Croatian displaced persons would return to their homes in
three groups, Radic said. The first group would include 46,228
displaced persons from the areas liberated during the military
action "Flash". Those displaced persons should return by May this
year.
Some 36,000 displaced persons should return by June to the
areas liberated by "Storm". Those displaced would later be joined
by another 12,000 people who would return by September and another
21,000 displaced who would return by the end of the year.
The return of displaced persons to the Croatian Danubian area
would depend on the course of peaceful reintegration and it would
start with pilot-projects, Minister Radic said.
