TRAVNIK, 16 Oct (Hina) - A Dayton pilot-program on the return of

said in Travnik Wednesday. #L#
According to Mijic, 102 out of 200 Croat families, who are to
return to Bugojno, have returned to the town, but 21 families had
to leave their homes again.
'These poor people had to leave their homes because of
insecurity and pressure they were being exposed to', Mijic said,
adding that the property of Croat returnees was being plundered and
damaged.
'Such conditions are preventing the implementation of the
program of return of 200 Croat families, of which I am in charge.
We have informed representatives of the United Nations High
Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and International Police Task Force
(IPTF) about those problems', Mijic said.
