As of today, fifteen refugee families from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia will start a new life, with digestion in the territory of the Municipality of Irig. The beneficiaries were awarded contracts for the purchase of rural houses within the ninth sub-project of the Regional Housing Program, and thus their housing issue was permanently resolved.
"The state is aware of your suffering and I am very pleased that in such difficult times we have managed to provide you with a home. This is the moment when your suffering ends, and hopefully a much more beautiful and carefree life begins.
I am proud of the results that the Public Sector Projects Implementation Unit, together with the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration and local self-government units, has achieved in the implementation of the Programme," said Jovan Lazarov, Head of the Office of the Director of the Public Sector Projects Implementation Unit.
The Regional Housing Programme is a joint multi-year programme 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.
