“…That this policy was only moderately successful, and that in many instances it neglected the 'quality' aspect of the return process and went against the wish of the displaced persons, were some of the main critiques expressed in the scholarship on forcible displacement in Bosnia and Herzegovina (see e.g. Belloni 2005Belloni , 2007Black 2001;Dahlman and Toal 2005;Eastmond 2006;Heimerl 2005;Jansen 2006Jansen , 2007Jansen , 2011Phuong 2000;Stefansson 2004Stefansson , 2006Toal and Dahlman 2011;Toal and O'Loughlin 2009;Žíla 2015).…”
