The horrors of the war in the Former Yugoslavia and the suffering of more than four million refugees and internally displaced persons, mostly women and children, have already been well-documented (UNHCR 1993). The new states of ex-Yugoslavia have taken the brunt of the refugee burden. According to the UNHCR, as of July 1993 the estimated total of asylum seekers from the former Yugoslavia in European countries was 750,000, whereas 3,380,000 were displaced persons and refugees within the region of the former Yugoslavia itself. Local governments, NGOs, as well as international humanitarian organizations, are providing aid and helping refugees. Although the humanitarian aid is financially significant, this article will attempt to question a problematic assumption in refugee policythat refugees are "taken care of" as long they are free from the immediate dangers that forced them to flee. The pitfalls of such a policy, especially as applied to refugees fleeing from ethnic conflict, become immediately apparent when the policy is contrasted with the political context of the Yugoslav conflicts, as well as the experiences, needs, and problems of refugees themselves. The ultimate search for ethnic-national "oneness" and the creation of a hated "other" led to the violent disintegration of the Former Yugoslavia. Millions of refugees and internally displaced persons now face the problem of reconciling their own notion of belonging and identity with the new realities of their lives. Many refugees have close relatives whose ethnic background differs from their own, or are themselves in ethnically-mixed marriages. As refugees, they live in ethnically-mixed refugee camps in the newly-recognized states in the region
