The strategy for the return of displaced persons during and after the conflict in Kosovo, drafted by the Kosovo’s Ministry for Communities and Returns, is facing numerous challenges in its implementation stage. Ministry’s spokesperson, Uroš Staletović, said that usurped property is a significant obstacle to the return of displaced members of the Serb community. According to him, only ten percent of the IDPs have returned to Kosovo, namely 20,000 out of a total of 200,000. The figures provided by the Kosovo’s Ministry for Communities and Returns correspond to those of the Serbian authorities but in a recent interview for Radio Free Europe in Albanian, head of UNHCR in Kosovo, Narasimha Rao, said there are currently around 100,000 IDPs. Rao said that there are around 88,000 IDPs in Serbia, over 1,400 in Montenegro and around 617 persons in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. At the same time, Kosovo Government spokesperson, Faton Abdullahu, said that the figures of persons displaced from Kosovo provided by authorities in Serbia are exaggerated.  He said the Government of Serbia intentionally inflates the figures to accuse the Government of Kosovo for not doing enough. “Meanwhile, facts speak differently”, said Abdullahu adding that the Government in Pristina considers that all displaced persons have the right to return to their homes, except those involved in crimes against the civilian population in Kosovo.
