----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the territory of Srebrenica slowly Muslims are trying to go back to their pre-war homes.
Most of these families lost several members of their family during the 1995 Srebrenica enclave deportations by Serb army and find their homes taken over by Serbian refugees who fled mostly from the Sarayevo district, since the law of Republic Srbska allows Serbs refugees to stay in these houses, returnees find themselves without any place to stay in the same town where the killers of their relatives may walk around.
