News Summary
Banja Luka Assembly session
The Banja Luka City Assembly has adopted information on realization of Annex 7 of the Dayton Agreement and an operation plan for return of refugees and displaced persons to the Banja Luka region. According to the Banja Luka Commission for Refugees and Displaced Persons, 61,816 refugees and displaced persons are temporarily living in Banja Luka and 12,000 refugees came from Croatia. According to the Ostanak Association data, 94% of Serb refugees do not want to return to their pre-war towns. 128 Bosniak and 141 Croat families have returned as of 20 July 1999. Two-way returns are planned for 1,252 families in Banja Luka. Realization of this plan will start when the RS Government adopts this decision. Assembly representatives consider that main problem for refugees is property justice, and not political questions, and that both entities should solve this problem together. The SDA representatives believe that the IC should solve the problems of caring for refugees and displaced persons from Croatia.
