What are the major challenges for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the region?
In the Balkans, many people were, and continue to be, displaced following the violent dissolution of the former-Yugoslavia. Many refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) feel unable to return to their homes due to insecurity and poor economic conditions for minorities. In Kosovo, the economy is in such bad shape that it is difficult for the displaced to find economic opportunities that would support their return. The Bureau also works to raise the visibility of statelessness and to encourage governments to develop policies to meet humanitarian responsibilities on protection and statelessness.
