SARAJEVO 13 April 2004
SARAJEVO, 13 April 2004 - The latest statistics show that the overall property law implementation ratio in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) remains at 93 percent.
The Property Law Implementation Agencies, which include the Office of the High Representative, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the OSCE Mission to BiH, reported that at the end of February, out of total of 216,686 property claims registered, 201,566 habitable properties were repossessed by their legitimate claimants. More than 99 percent of the first instance agency decisions were issued.
The three agencies said 73 municipalities have substantially completed the implementation of the property laws. In addition, another 54 municipalities were reported to have completed all pending property cases, and so have fulfilled the first requirement from the Municipal Guidelines for Substantial Completion of the Property Law Implementation.
The municipalities of Doboj and Zvornik joined this group in March, and thus made an important step towards meeting all their legal obligations under the property laws.
The Agencies have urged the municipalities of Tuzla, Donji Vakuf, Jajce, Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Prnjavor, Mrkonjic Grad/Ribnik to follow this path and demonstrate their commitment to the effective completion of this process.
