The reintegration of institutions has also been completed. The current phase involves the repatriation of former residents. More than 140,000 former and new residents of the Danube River Valley region have received their Croatian documents and legal papers. All have been given the right to either leave the region or stay and claim their Croatian documents. Reconstruction and the renewal of the region as well as the repatriation of residents that were forced to leave their homes is all that remains of the international efforts to resolve the crisis.
Renewal requires a large amount of funds.
The international community has participating largely in humanitarian aid. The Croatian government has bared the rest of the financial burden. The return of people to their homes is closely connected to the dynamics of the reconstruction and renovation. The peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube River Valley region can be set as an example for other countries on how to co-operate with the UN to resolve problems in a peaceful manner. The return of Croats to the Danube region and their repatriation to their homes could have been implemented much faster and more efficiently.
