BUGOJNO, Jan 9 (Hina) - Out of a total of 200 displaced Croat
families which were included in the pilot-project of return to
Bugojno (central Bosnia-Herzegovina), only 27 families have
returned, not 175 as the Moslem authorities had said, a report
by the Zenica-based UNHCR said. #L#
The report was drawn up after UNHCR employees visited the
Croatian residents in Bugojno.
The report said that it had been established that 57
Croat families had been prevented to return to their homes
because Moslem displaced persons had settled in their houses
and apartments.
Thirty-two Croat families who are on a list drawn up by
local Moslem authorities cannot move into their houses in
Bugojno because they have been damaged and 11 heavily damaged
Croat houses in Bugojno are, according to the report, to be
erased from the list because special investment is needed for
their reconstruction.
There are three empty houses in the town into which Croat
families cannot settle because of their own safety.
The UNHCR reported that only 17 Croat families had
tenancy rights to apartments in public ownership.
