MOSTAR, Jan 25 (Hina) - The third conference of the Association of
Refugees and Displaced Croats in Bosnia ended in Mostar on Friday
with the adoption of the declaration "We Want Our Family Home II
Time".
With an amendment to the statute, the Association will protect
the interests of displaced Croats from Bosnia in the Bosnian
Federation, Republika Srpska and Croatia. #L#
The programme declaration adopted at the conference is the
basis for exercising rights of each displaced person to a voluntary
return or to the choice of a new residence.
The Association will advocate a dignified return, including
the protection of personal and material safety of every individual,
and the exercise of the rights to a total compensation for property
damaged during the war.
With its main goal being a lasting solution to the status of
displaced persons and refugees, the Association expects that the
return of and care for displaced persons be regulated by a law on
displaced persons, that the UNHCR and other organizations extend
their help to the reconstruction of family houses, that they be
ensured money as compensation for property damaged or taken during
the war and for breathing life into economy.
