Kosovo (Serbia): no forcible return of minorities to Kosovo

Although they may chose to voluntarily return to Kosovo as soon as conditions for their return in safety and dignity have been met, the authors of the report are extremely concerned that, even before a resolution on the future status of Kosovo has been considered by the UN Security Council (UNSC), some EU and Council of Europe member states are making preparations to forcibly return to Kosovo persons who remain in need of temporary protection as well as others whose claims for refugee status should be considered.

Particular concerns are highlighted, including the fact that many of these people are members of minority communities.
