Refugee families from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia were given apartments in Čajetina

The keys to 12 apartments, intended for refugee families from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, were handed over in Čajetina today. The construction of apartments is part of the Regional Housing Program.

The total value of the works is about 322,947 euros.

"The Regional Housing Program is an example that a path can be found to a solution if there is good will. The program has been recognized as a priority in order to abolish refugee status, and thanks to it, many refugee families have been permanently taken care of," said the Director of the Public Sector Projects Implementation Unit Dušan Kovačević.

The Regional Housing Programme is a joint multi-year programme of the Republic of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia, which aims to provide durable housing solutions for the most vulnerable refugee families in the region.

It is implemented with the support of the OSCE, UNHCR and the Council of Europe Development Bank, and is financed by the European Union, which is also the largest donor, the United States, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Turkey, Luxembourg, Spain, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.
