Number, whereabouts of Kosovo refugees

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that more than 860,000 people, the vast majority of them ethnic Albanians, have left Kosovo since NATO began its air assault March 24.

Many of Kosovo's approximately 1.8 million ethnic Albanians were already displaced before the current exodus. This includes about 100,000 Kosovars who sought asylum in European countries before the airstrikes on Yugoslavia.

The whereabouts and numbers of the refugees:
Albania 444,200
Macedonia 245,100
Montenegro 69,800
Bosnia Herzegovina 21,700
Refugees who have been evacuated from Macedonia:
