Senay, Policy Advisor for Humanitarian Affairs in DFAIT's
Human Rights, Humanitarian Affairs and International Women's
Equality Division, on May 19.

development programs in KOSOVO, GoC has provided funds to
UNMIK's Housing and Property Directorate, which is
responsible for establishing legal property titles and
determining compensation for seized property. Senay said
Canada is also providing funding to promote returns through
the local initiatives program at its embassy in Pristina (ref

will continue to consult with UNMIK about what steps can be
taken to improve the returns climate.
