The reason why Serbs were being targeted was that they were
the only ones who had anything left to steal. All others were
refugees from elsewhere in Bosnia, Ivanko said.
According to data gathered by the International Police Task
Force, refugees from eastern Bosnia have occupied around 400
abandoned houses only in Ilidza suburb.
UNHCR spokesman Kris Janowski said that there were reports of
the remaining Serbs being threatened to leave or their houses would
be blown up.
Commenting on increasing reports of Muslim refugees being
settled in Sarajevo suburbs as part of a plan to permanently change
the demographic picture and because of "electoral engineering",
Janowski said there was no hard evidence of such a Machiavellian
scenario.
