Germany took another step towards deporting Bosnian war refugees on 10 October when it signed a repatriation agreement with the rump Yugoslavia. German Interior Minister Kanther emphasized that the agreement "underscores the fact that Germany is not a land for immigrants". About 2,500 refugees from former Yugoslavia are arriving in Germany each month. Bavaria deported the first Bosnian refugee on 9 October. On 1 October an agreement from last August between the federal states and the Interior Ministry, on a 3-phase programme to deport the refugees came into effect. Single people and childless couples are to be expelled first. However, only four states said they would enforce it immediately. Guardian, 20.9.96; International Herald Tribune, 10 & 11.10.96
