An umbrella group on migration to and from Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) says the hobbled Balkan state that's still governed under a nearly three-decade-old peace deal has seen more than 600,000 people emigrate in the past 10 years. Mirhunisa Zukic, president of the Union for Sustainable Return and Integration in BiH, issued the warning on the eve of World Refugee Day. She cited painfully unresolved issues since conflicts that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and said young people in particular are giving up on finding any semblance of prewar life. Bosnia's population is currently estimated at around 3.2 million. To see the original story by RFE/RL's Balkan Service, click here.
