Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is an important task for the post-conflict country to achieve return and integration of the refugees caused by armed conflict.　However, in the former Yugoslavia where severe inter-ethnic war occurred, ethnic minorities live a hard life and in some area they are ceasing to exist.　In order to attain integration of ethnic minorities into the whole society, it is indispensable to enable them to realize sustainable settlement in the place of origin and to make their generational reproduction.
This research investigated the actual living situation of ethnic minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and elucidated the conditions of their sustainable settlement and generational reproduction.
