With UN help, three Balkan states pledge to solve refugee problem by 2006
Bosnia and Herzegovina - Three Balkan countries agreed today to bring a genuine and successful close to the refugee chapter in southeastern Europe by the end of 2006, through either voluntary return or local integration in a process that the United Nations refugee agency will actively assist.
"Significant progress has been achieved by the concerned governments in their respective countries," UNHCR Assistant High Commissioner Kamel Morjane told the conference, being held a decade after the signing of the Dayton Peace Accord in 1995 that ended hostilities in the former Yugoslavia.
