We agree with the German government that the refugees should return to Bosnia. In fact, many are returning-Since Dayton, as many as 60,000 people have returned from Germany to Bosnia voluntarily. At the same time, perhaps 300 or so people have been deported by different provinces in Germany. What these figures show is that the way to go is voluntary repatriation, since voluntary repatriation has produced quite good results. People are coming in tens of thousands.
Deportations cause a lot of anxiety and in terms of size, are negligible.
We think that those people who have somewhere to live should be coming here. We don't think that people who have nowhere to go should be forcibly brought back to Bosnia. For example, Muslims and Croats from Republika Srpska who cannot go to most areas in Republika Srpska, and also have nowhere to go in the Federation. We believe that quite a large number of the German provinces actually understand the situation and understand that it is really counterproductive to deport people who have nowhere to go. We hope that by the end of this year, the number of people returning from Germany may go up to about 100,000 before the end of the year.
