News Summary

280 Bosniak families return to villages in Zvornik Municipality

280 Bosniak families have returned to three villages in Zvornik Municipality, Snagovo, Glumina and Gustare. All of the returns were the product of refugees' motivation, because they received insignificant material aid from humanitarian agencies and the UNHCR. "It is shameful that none of the governmental or humanitarian organizations or any international representatives visited these returnees, which shows that we are nothing but test rabbits" Tuzla-Podrinje Canton Agency for Return Director Fadil Banjanovic stated in the village of Snagovo on Sunday. The example of the villages in Zvornik Municipality raises the issue of the nature of Annex 7. Is Annex 7 nothing more than a manipulation and argument for collecting political points to justify the existence of more than a thousand humanitarian agencies, whose officials care more about everything else than refugee return.

Problems in realization of two-way return to Livno and Bugojno

The agreement on two-way returns signed by the heads of Bugojno and Livno Municipalities in May is not being implemented as dynamically as desired. The main problem is the unwillingness of Croat refugees, living in Bosniak houses in Livno, to return to their reconstructed homes in Bugojno. Livno Municipality authorities have been given a list of 39 Croat houses that have been reconstructed and are suitable for return.
