BANJA LUKA, Aug 23 (Hina) - Bosnia's Human Rights and Refugees Minister Mirsad Kebo told Banja Luka's "Nezavisne novine" daily of Wednesday that attacks on returnees in Bosnia-Herzegovina were not a common occurrence but rather a reflection of recent political events.
BANJA LUKA, Aug 23 (Hina) - Bosnia's Human Rights and Refugees Minister Mirsad Kebo told Banja Luka's "Nezavisne novine" daily of Wednesday that attacks on returnees in Bosnia-Herzegovina were not a common occurrence but rather a reflection of recent political events.

"I believe that this is about non-homogenous groups and mostly individual attackers. I also believe that returnees are no more endangered than other citizens, who often become victims of different attacks, including terrorist ones. As far as returnees are concerned, the situation in the country is not dramatic and I think that it is improving by the day," Kebo said, adding that state institutions had still not solved the problem of employment as a precondition for sustainable return.

"The principle of ethnic representation in the public administration continues to be ignored throughout the country, and this is a very important condition for return," Kebo said, adding that the number of Croats was growing smaller every day, but that this was a problem on the level of the country rather than on the entity level.

Kebo cited data from the UNHCR saying that 1,015,000 people had returned to their homes in Bosnia, but added that it was difficult to establish the exact number of returnees.

"The only way to obtain the exact figure is to organise a census," he said.
