• In the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia there are 646.066 refugees - one refugee per 15 citizens.

• Out of that number, 6.609 are of Moslem nationality, 4.750 of Croatian nationality - this confirms that the FRY is the only state in the territory of the former Yugoslavia which preserved its multi-ethnic character.

• Out of the mentioned number of refugees, only 51.800 opted for repatriation. The basic reasons why such a small number of refugees wants to return to their places of residence is the absence of guarantees for safe return - the obstruction of the provisions of the Dayton Agreement by the Republic of Croatia.

• The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is economically weakened, primarily due to the sanctions, and then because it is not allowed to join the world financial institutions. Also, the humanitarian organizations continually diminish the assistance to the refugees in the FRY. The aid received by the FRY represents 15% of the total international humanitarian aid to the countries on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
