SARAJEVO, Dec 4 (Hina) - Germany on Wednesday repatriated the first
group of Bosnian refugees under an agreement signed by the two
governments in September.
The group of 24 refugees, mainly Moslems, arrived in Sarajevo
from Munich aboard a plane chartered by the government of the state
of Bavaria.
Among them were 11 persons who had committed various criminal
offences in Germany, which was the main reason why they were sent
back home.
All the refugees were later transferred to a reception centre
in Srednje, about 30 km north of Sarajevo. Before the war, these
people lived in Banja Luka and Brcko, the towns now controlled by
Bosnian Serbs.
Under the September agreement, about 90,000 refugees are to be
repatriated to Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1997, while the remaining
230,000 who have found a temporary refuge should leave Germany by
the year 2,000.
