Bosnia - Postwar Refugee Return
This section contains the entire series of reports written by Peter Lippman between early 1999 and late 2000, covering the grassroots effort by activist organizations promoting the return of displaced persons throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was a period of continued resistance on the part of hard-line nationalists who wished to preserve the situation of ethnic homogenization of territories where they had practiced "ethnic cleansing" during the war. But it was also a period of intense and valiant struggle on the part of return activists to claim what was rightfully theirs: their pre-war homes. This effort lead to a breakthrough in the ensuing years, resulting in partial return to practically every municipality in the country.
More coverage of AP's coverage of this conflict can be found in the Bosnia- War and Recovery section below, including background on Srebrenica and first-hand accounts of the massacre.
