More than 1,000 Serb families await return to Kosovo
Some 90 Serb families have been assisted in their return to Kosovo in 2008, while more than 1,000 families are waiting to come back to their homes, according to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) chief Fraude Mauring.

He said the UNDP is preparing assistance to the return of more than 200 families in the municipalities of Prizren, Klina, Pec, Istok, Kosovo Polje, Pristina and Gnjilane.
Mauring pointed to problems with financing, but also with security, which prevents families to go back to their homes.
Over 230,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians have been expelled from Kosovo since 1999. Less than five percent have returned so far.
