materials. Additional complementary sustainability measures have been provided through a project funded by the Bureau for Population, Refugees and Migration of the United States of America. In Montenegro, refugees from Croatia stand to benefit from five out of six approved RHP subprojects. Since the selection of beneficiaries for the approved sub-projects is still to take place, exact number of refugees from Croatia is unknown at the moment. So far, out of 59 families who moved in first ever finished RHP sub-project in Montenegro, 3 families (13 persons in total) were from Croatia. The largest group of RHP beneficiaries is in Serbia, where the provision of housing is an important part of a programme to support sustainable local integration. Refugees from Croatia are expected to constitute between 70 and 75 per cent of the beneficiaries for the 6,295 planned housing solutions under the RHP Country Housing Programme for Serbia. So far, close to 4,500 beneficiaries have been selected while the housing solutions have been delivered to 1,717 refugee families. About two thirds of them originate from Croatia. The results of the implementation of the RHP in Serbia indicate that the existing needs are higher than the funds available under the Country Housing Programme in Serbia. Based on the results of the selection process, there is a need for continuation of such programme for the most vulnerable, especially in the urban centres, since the identified needs and the number of eligible beneficiaries are found to be several times higher than the number of solutions offered so far through RHP. In this respect, Serbia should also be able to address the challenges identified in the field by ensuring the technical sustainability of the housing provided - some of the most vulnerable beneficiaries are found not to be able to install themselves the received building material, or to connect to the infrastructure. In the absence of State-funded free legal aid mechanisms, UNHCR continued supporting provision of free legal aid. Particular focus was placed on provision of information and counselling related to the RHP and on acquisition of personal documents, including for 83 refugees accommodated in seven collective centres who are in the process of naturalization. In Kosovo (S/RES/1244 (1999)), lack of housing solutions, represents a major impediment to the sustainable integration of refugees from Croatia. Naturalised refugees (2 families/5 individuals) have been included in housing project under the IPA funds “Supporting DS for Collective Centre residents in Kosovo - phase one” while the remaining refugees residing in collective accommodation (11 families/15 individuals) are expected to benefit from IPA phase II project. c) Employment Economic and employment prospects in the region have not improved in the reporting period. It is not known how many refugees from Croatia secured jobs during this period, and no data is available regarding State programmes for employment for this category of persons. 19
