Returnees and displaced persons are our most important target group. During our work with the representatives of this population in B&H we've concluded that besides the fact that there is a high percentage of implemented property laws, only minority decide to stay and live in their prewar homes, even in B&H. One of the causes of this kind of situation has to be found in a various phases of insecurity felt by returnees in their own surroundings in which they lived before the war. Pressure on this population often has forms of political, even physical violence. We've received this information in every town where we organized different activities with returnees. The most disturbing fact is that in spite of all our invitations reffered to the representatives of local government, frequently meet with no response to paricipate in a dialogue with the representatives of returnees. Violence over returnees prolong their agony and most of them even after they had returned , decided to leave their prewar home.

Therefore, Nansen Dialouge Centres from B&H decided to start with '' Stop violence over returnees'' campaign . The aim of this activity is to bring attention to the problems of all the citizens in B&H. '' We are starting this campaign just before the elections,because we believe that newly elected government has to face up to all the problems of this population in their future work. Once again we want to remind all the representatives of government, non-governmental organizations, international organizations in B&H about Annex 7 and artical 2 Dayton Peace Agreement:

''The Parties undertake to create in their territories the political, economic, and social conditions conducive to the voluntary return and harmonious reintegration of refugees and displaced persons, without preference for any particular group. ''

We're using this opportunity to invite all organizations and individuals who are able to do something in order to improve the status of this population, to bring it about, according to Dayton Peace Agreement and according to tendency of our country towards European integrations, which imply a high level of human rights protection.
