UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency estimates that of those displaced by the conflict that took place between 1998 and 1999 some 90,000 still have displacement-related needs and are awaiting solutions. Of them, 72,000 are estimated to be in Serbia, 16,406 in Kosovo, 729 in Montenegro and 394 in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. According to the UNHCR, the process of finding durable solutions for this population, whether return to place of origin or integration in the place of refuge, needs to get on track within a conscious timeframe, under the leadership of responsible institutions.Based on the results of an assessment by UNHCR and local partners in the region, the report aims to provide broad information about displaced people in the region who are originating from Kosovo, and who have already expressed a desire to return.
