Title of the project: Expert Elaboration of Unresolved Issues Among the Countries Signatories of the Dayton Agreement: Issues of Citizens’ Property and Status
Implementing Organization: Center for Regionalism on behalf of the Igman Initiative
The project ”Expert Elaboration on Unresolved Issues among the Countries Signatories to the Dayton Agreement – Property and Status Issues of Citizens” funded by the EU Enlargement Directorate General based in Brussels is being implemented by the Igman Initiative, a regional network of over 100 NGOs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia. As part of the project activities an independent expert team was assigned with a task of providing recommendations for feasible solutions to citizens’ status and property issues by conducting a comparative analysis of international obligations, standards and norms and legal frameworks of the countries signatories to the Dayton Agreement. In addition, the experts from relevant ministries in all four countries were involved in the research. In the course of month June co-presidents of the Igman Initiative handed the White Book with recommendations to the prime ministers as well as representatives of the relevant ministries, parliamentary committees and international community in all four countries. The Igman Initiative co-presidents also met with the officials of the EU Delegation in all four countries to present the expert team findings and discuss further project implementation. Aside from the expert research, issuance of the White Paper as well as lobbying campaign, the project anticipates an all-inclusive regional public and media campaign including a production and broadcast of a documentary film, TV debates as well as public discussions in all four countries.
Project objectives:
- Active involvement of governments of the countries signatories to the Dayton Agreement in resolving status and property issues of the citizens of these countries that emerged after the collapse of the SFRY.
- Inclusion of the international community in the process of resolving status and property issues of the citizens of the countries signatories to the Dayton Agreement
- Making the public sensitive to the issue in order to get its support for resolving problems the project is dealing with
- Aid and support to the citizens of the countries of the Dayton agreement in the enforcement of their status and property rights
Expected results:
- A report drawn up by the expert team to determine the actual circumstances and problems in the area of property and status rights of the citizens in the countries signatories to the Dayton Agreement and give recommendations for their solving.
- Evaluation of different political options available to decision-makers in the region and recommendations of political activities which could improve the current state of affairs in the area of status and property rights of the citizens of B-H, Montenegro, Croatia and Serbia.
- Raising awareness of problems encountered by the citizens in the four countries of the Dayton Agreement in exercising their status and property rights through a regional campaign launched by the Igman Initiative
- Launching an initiative aimed at the involvement of the governments of the countries signatories to the Dayton Agreement in resolving status and property problems of citizens, which will result in a progress in the elimination of the existing barriers and an evident acceleration of the process of resolving these issues which would directly benefit approximately half a million of persons in the subject countries.
