2016 Plan Summary
This summary presents UNHCR’s planned response to address the needs of people displaced by the conflicts of the 1990s in the Western Balkans. Please see the subregional overview for South-Eastern Europe for information on UNHCR’s response to the influx of new arrivals to the subregion.
There are essentially three sub-groups of displaced people with needs resulting from the conflicts of the 1990s: refugees/returnees in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; internally displaced people (IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Kosovo (Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999)); and returnees in Kosovo (S/RES/1244 (1999)).
UNHCR will address the needs of refugees mainly through its role in the Regional Housing Programme in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia, and for which Croatia is a partner country. The focus for the next two years will be to address the outstanding needs of the most vulnerable groups of refugees and IDPs, including by providing support to displaced Roma communities. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, UNHCR will continue to provide a final phase of direct support to meet the shelter and sustainability needs of vulnerable groups, while also strengthening local capacity in preparation for the hand-over of the programme to the national authorities by the end of 2017.
For returnees and IDPs in Kosovo (S/RES/1244 (1999)), UNHCR’s planned activities will also focus on achieving the largest possible number of sustainable solutions. Returns will be supported by giving priority to the most vulnerable groups, such the residents of temporary collective centres and the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities.
