The PLIP agencies, OHR, UNHCR, OSCE, CRPC and UNMIBH, announce the Property Law Implementation statistics for September 2002, which show that the overall implementation ratio reached 62 percent in September, up by an average of 3 percent countrywide from last month, and up by 21 percent from the end of last year.
In the Federation, 66 percent of cases have been resolved, which represents a rise of 4 percent since August. In the RS, 56 percent of properties were repossessed, which represents a rise of 2 percent. Meanwhile in Brcko, there has been an increase of 2 percent, up to 66 percent, the same total as the Federation.
Despite these rises, a significant number of properties have still to be vacated. Out of a total of more than 250,000 claims in the whole of BiH, nearly 100 000 have still to be solved.
Some municipalities may show sudden increases or decreases in their monthly implementation ratios. This is due to the fact that the process of excluding destroyed property from the statistics abd revising records in the housing departments is still ongoing.
