The meeting was part of activities of a task force in charge of implementing a declaration on refugees, signed in Sarajevo in January 2005, when representatives of the three governments undertook to solve outstanding problems preventing the return of refugees and displaced people to their prewar homes.
A statement issued after today's meeting said the participants had once again underlined the importance of consistent implementation of last year's declaration and stated that progress had been made on that front.
The three ministers confirmed their commitment to ensure, by the year's end, return and integration of refugees on the basis of nondiscrimination and in line with individual schedules of the countries in the region.
Members of the Croatian delegation attending the talks reported about faster implementation of a housing plan and other activities that would follow in Croatia until the end of the year. Representatives of Serbia and Montenegro voiced hope that a solution to the problem of tenancy rights would be found and that consultations on that issue would continue.
The Croatian Ministry of Transport and Development previously prepared a road map to provide for refugees and displaced people, with 2.1 billion kuna having been set aside from this year's budget for that purpose.
The funds include 1.2 billion kuna for housing and reconstruction, 678 million for infrastructure and development projects and 303 million for de-mining.
There are still around 3,000 refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina in Croatia.
