SARAJEVO (AP) - The number of people still displaced from their homes after the 1992-95 Bosnian war has fallen sharply, the United Nations agency for refugees and displaced persons said yesterday. At the end of 2004, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the number of displaced people in Bosnia was more than 300,000. But preliminary results obtained from a newly completed reregistration process suggest that only 180,000 have registered as still being displaced, a UNHCR statement said. This would suggest that some individuals have in the meantime found a solution to their plight.
