In the context of the regional co-operation process, institutional stakeholders were encouraged to review and update the existing local strategies relevant to durable solutions for persons displaced from Kosovo, and
to develop local action plans on durable solutions. Between January and
September 2016, the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, UNHCR and other OSCE
field operations in the region continued to promote the regional initiative
by organizing five Technical Working Group meetings and another HighLevel Forum that took place in Belgrade in June 2016. Following the agreement reached at the Forum by Pristina, Belgrade, Skopje and Podgorica on
the adoption of action point documents, the initiative has reached the state
of implementation.
