A working group set up by the Federal and State Interior Ministers has decided that refugees from Bosnia will be "compulsorily repatriated" starting on 1 July 1996. The repatriation operation will take place in three stages. The first stage includes "residency termination measures" for 120,000 Bosnian refugees who fled to Germany unaccompanied by children. They are to leave the country by 30 June 1997. Stage 2 is to start on 1 July 1997, when a further 200,000 refugees, mostly people with young children, are to be returned. The final stage covers refugees currently involved in academic or job qualification courses or undergoing medical treatment. This relatively small group of refugees will be allowed to finish what they are doing before being deported. Berlin Antiracist Information Network.
