The number of Kosovar Serb families that have returned in the town of Klinë since after the war has reached 100, according to the Municipality of Working Groups for Returnees in Klinë.
The Municipality had received many requests by the Kosovar Serbs to return to homes left destroyed by the Serbia military in 1999. The realization of the first phase of a project for the return of Kosovars of Serb ethnicity to Kosovo was announced in Klinë.
"Three more families have received the keys to their homes. Therefore, a total of 100 Serb families have returned in the town of Klinë. Results are evident, thanks to all structures that engaged in the process of returns which was oversighted by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, European Union and UNHCR, "said Ismajli.
Ismajli has said that the requirements for individual returns were well organized, even thought there were a lot of requests,especially those coming from the UNHCR Offices in Serbia and Montenegro. The security situation, according to Ismajli, is calm and stable. The Kosovo Police report that there have been no incidents with returnees in the last year.
Halil Bimbashi, from the Kosovo Police, emphasizes that the situation is in good security condition. Meanwhile, Milorad Sharkoviq, a Kosovar Serb representative also stressed that the situation is good and there is a trend of improvement for further safety. The Ministry for Returnees and Communties has allocated 1 million Euros for the returnees to the municipalities of Klinë, Prizren, and Vushtrria. The project is primarily focused on offering housing assistance. The returnees are facing issues of lack of job opportunities.
For the Drenovac and surrounding villages, the project and financial support is pledged by the Government. Meanwhile, Gani Ahmetxhekaj, the new coordinator of the Rudik project, has announced that the construction of the housing for Kosovars of Serb ethnicity who will return in this village will start sometime in May of this year.
