Commissioner Hammarberg to visit Kosovo

EU Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg kicks off his visit to Kosovo on Thursday.

Commissioner Hammarberg will observe the situation of minorities in Kosovo, among which Serbs and Gorans.

UN statistics said that last year a total of 2500 refugees returned to Kosovo. Among them were Roma people, who ended up in camps in Cesmin Lug and north Mitrovica.

In July 2009, Commissioner Hammarberg recommended shutdown of these camps.
