neighbourly relations and in the pursuit of regional reconciliation. The resolution of this issue should also be taken in the spirit of the Sarajevo and Belgrade Declarations, and should respect commitments undertaken in the latter. Furthermore, UNHCR is of the opinion that addressing this issue once and for all, should be taken in the positive spirit of the overall Sarajevo Regional Process, a process that has ultimately given rise to the concrete progress we are witnessing today within the Regional Housing Programme. e) Social assistance and health care In January 2016, a new Law on Health Insurance came into force in Montenegro, stipulating among other provisions that all foreign citizens must submit a certificate from their country of origin to prove that they are not beneficiaries of health insurance in that country in order to enjoy health insurance provided by Montenegro. Upon UNHCR’s intervention the Health Fund accepted not to request certificate from the country of origin at each renewal of the health booklet, but only during first registration in the health care system. However, UNHCR still records non-harmonized practice in different municipalities and intervenes as needed. It is unclear how often such a certificate must be submitted, whether once, or each time health care services are sought. As per the Law there is a need to renew a health booklet every three months, of which the validity is three months for adults and one year for children. Access to social assistance or health care is generally granted to refugees from Croatia in other countries in the region with an exception to those in Bosnia and Herzegovina without registered residency. UNHCR recommends that Montenegro simplifies the procedure to allow refugees from the former Yugoslavia to benefit from health insurance and that Bosnia and Herzegovina enables unhindered registration of residency for all refugees from Croatia who wish to locally integrate, including their subsequent, unhindered access to social and health care. E) Conclusion The issuance of UNHCR’s Advisory in 2014 was triggered by fundamental changes in the region, including: the fact that many former refugees from Croatia have either returned or locally integrated in their host countries; the successful implementation of the Regional Durable Solutions Process (the Sarajevo Process) and the subsequent Regional Housing Programme (RHP). The Advisory, which also provided recommendations on how to resolve remaining displacement challenges and advance the solution process, further recommended that States declare cessation by the end of 2017 at the latest. To date, UNHCR’s recommendation to declare the cessation of refugee status for refugees from Croatia displaced by the 1991-1995 conflict, pursuant to the “ceased circumstances” cessation clauses contained in paragraph 6(A)(e) and (f) of the UNHCR Statute and Article 1C(5) and (6) of the 1951 Convention by the principal host States, has not been implemented. 22
