Abstract
This study focuses on the return of refugees and internally displaced persons after the end of the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the point of view of the international community. In the first part of the paper the attitude of key players is characterised, i. e. of the western powers and their part in an exceptionally targeted project of the peace-building process in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The second part is focused on analysing the evolution of repatriation strategies of the international community, their modifications as a consequence of a low success rate of the return of refugees and search for new approaches and instruments to stimulate the feeble repatriation process.
