This report examines the evolution of approaches pursued to promote minority returns to post-war Bosnia. It considers the returns record to date; the arguments for minority return and against relocation; and plans of many German states to deport large numbers of Bosnians by mid-1998. The report looks in particular at the "Open Cities Initiative," the return plan model, return conferences, the process of internationally-supervised returns to Brcko; and returns driven by displaced persons organizations. It draws conclusions and gives recommendations.
