Tuzla, Dayton and the International Community
Issue 14: Tuzla Elections, Dayton Deep-Freeze
Mid-1999 was a very turbulent time for Bosnia, buffeted by the triple blow of the international community's arbitration on Brcko; the High Representative's removal of RS President Nikola Poplasen, and most of all, the spring NATO intervention in neighboring Serbia. Return efforts suffered, but did not flag. Meanwhile, international agencies began to focus on support of return in a better way.
Issue 15: Return to and from Brcko
With the decision to make Brcko, in northeast Bosnia, a "District" (territory of neither entity), the political situation opened up and activists increased their promotion of return to this previously Serb-controlled area. And displaced Serbs residing in Brcko looked to return to their pre-war homes in the Federation.
Issue 16: The Tent People Of Bosnia
The year 1999 turned out not quite to be the "Year of Return," but returnee activists gathered momentum. Return had been particularly delayed and obstructed in eastern Bosnia, but returnees picked up the pace in that area, creating many tent encampments to underscore their determination to regain their pre-war homes.
