An international detachment would be responsible for training Macedonia police. Now that the proposal has been approved, it will likely take the Finnish and Swedish police at least one-month to begin operations. Security liaison officers will maintain a 24-hour presence in each camp, with officers assigned to the camps on a proportional basis. All of the camp managers report the activities of the Macedonian police have generally been acceptable with the exception of a few individuals . The control of the exit and entrance ways into the camps remains a primary concern for the camp managers.
Refugees continue to move from host families and private accommodations into the camps.
In Cegrane, CARE International estimated the number of refugees from host families seeking to establish residence in the camp ranges from several dozen to 300 per day. Although most of the refugee camps have fire extinguishers the potential for fire remains a serious concern. In addition, the French Civil Defense force continues to work as a fire brigade in Stankovac II but in reduced numbers. AAH said that the police are against the lighting because of concerns that lighting would make Blace a target of nearby Serb forces. AAH has taken the position that the Serbs already know the position of the camp and lighting would help internal security and safety at Blace.
