From Montenegro to Kosovo voluntarily returned on Monday 57 persons, who have fled to Podgorica in 1999.
Roma were escorted from camp Konik in Podgorica to Klinavac in Klina/Kline municipality in Kosovo, where houses were built for them, said the representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare of Montenegro and UNHCR.
Returnees will receive furniture, firewood, and the means to start their own business.
Voluntary return of displaced persons was organized in the framework of the “Programme for Integration and the return of RAE and other internally displaced persons” who live in camp Konik in Podgorica, funded by the European Union.
In camp Konik in Podgorica are living about 1,400 Roma who in 1999 fled Kosovo during the NATO bombing.
Their return began last year when 14 families with 62 members returned to Kosovo.
