ZAGREB, 21 May (Hina) - A sub-commission for the return of refugees
to eastern Slavonia, Baranja and western Srijem on Tuesday held a
session in Erdut which was chaired by a representative of the
United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Four villages were
chosen for a pilot-project of return and reconstruction, officials
in the UNHCR office in Zagreb said. #L#
Delegations made up of Croat and Serb refugees have chosen
Antunovac, Ernestinovo and Bilje (eastern Slavonia) for the return
of Croat refugees and Kusonje (western Slavonia) for the return of
Serb refugees, UNHCR spokesperson Alemka Lisinski said.
UNHCR would provide financial means from its budget for the
reconstruction of most important facilities: family houses, public
buildings and infrastructure. The UN relief agency would be
assisted in the project by its partners.
UNHCR proposed the four villages for the project, since they
met the commission's criteria applied throughout the world - they
are not completely destroyed and they are accessible, which would
facilitate their reconstruction and the control of personal safety
of returnees, Lisinski said.
