Introduction Reintegration of repatriated persons is among various challenges that Kosovo society and institutions have been faced with before the war as well as after the war. Number of Kosovans who left Kosovo before, during and after the war was a considerable number and as a consequence the number of repatriated persons was considerable as well. The repatriation process in itself was proved not to be a significant problem but it has proven that the difficult work was related to the reintegration of these persons in the Kosovo society. Therefore, the need to strengthen this process was evident and measures to do so have been taken by the government officials. As a result Kosovo government has assessed the reintegration mechanism and has drafted general and specific recommendations how to improve the situation. Among key recommendations was revising the national strategy on reintegration of repatriated persons, drafting an action plan to implement the strategy, establishing a fund to support reintegration of repatriated persons, to increase the capacities of the central and local institutions as well as to improve the exchange of communications with the requesting countries. Government of Kosovo has approved the Strategy for Reintegration of Repatriated Persons and has appointed a task force to draft this action plan to implement reintegration of repatriated persons strategy, it has created a fund that will support the reintegration in the next months and years, in this regard 300 000 Euros have been already transferred to the fund and an additional 200 000 is expected to be transferred to cover needs of repatriated persons for the remaining months of 2010, however plans are been drown to secure the full amount as estimated by this plan as well as to engage the donor community to support us in this regard. A coordination mechanism at the central level has been established and made functional; each relevant ministry has appointed a staff member in charge of coordinating the whole process. On 4th of August a regulation on establishing Municipal offices for Communities and Return have been approved, this regulation establishes these offices and makes them responsible for coordination of the reintegration of repatriated persons. To make them functional MALG with the OSCE support has started a training program for these officials. First set of training is taking place and a follow-up needs assessment will be conducted.

It’s worth highlighting that this action plan is a living document that will be revised when necessary. The methodology used to draft this plan was a participatory one, all relevant government institutions and international organizations that are operating in Kosovo were engaged and consulted furthermore close working relationship was ensured with the ECLO and its supporting projects. An estimation of roughly 5000 persons to be repatriated was the basis of this plan and as a result it was estimated that that 200 families (of 5 members) might need shelter for up to 6 months, 5000 persons will benefit roughly 43 euro for medical services while it was estimated that about ten of them will need treatment abroad, this is estimated at about 10 000 euros per person while 20 persons is estimated that will require approx 5000 euro medications per person. It has been foreseen that in average about 400-500 repatriated persons will benefit from the social scheme and pension scheme. This plan also foresees that about 300 repatriated persons will be enrolled in vocational training programs as well as the estimated number of persons employed or families supported through employment schemes and grants (through project proposals) will be around 200 families. Another forecast was taken with regards to construction of two 400,000.00 euro social housing buildings for 40 families and 30 housing units to be reconstructed per annum while rent subsidy to be provided for about 50 families. As stated above these and other estimations are done on the basis of statistics from previous years and we foresee that this number might slightly vary and that we will monitor the developments constantly and take necessary actions accordingly. Last but not least, we aim at improving our cooperation with requesting states and not only in the readmission process but as well in the reintegration of repatriated persons through migration partnerships and return assistance partnership.
