Commission agrees on fiscal representation
BELGRADE – Yugoslavia’s Constitutional Commission has settled one of the outstanding issues holding up agreement on legislation to implement the Constitutional Charter.
Commissioners agreed yesterday that the Federal Ministry of International Economic Relations would be the fiscal agent of the new state of Serbia and Montenegro pending the establishment of the Council of Ministers.
Commission co-chairman Bosko Ristic said that the finance ministries and central banks of the republics would be required to approve the new state’s representative in international financial institutions.
“The National Bank of Yugoslavia will be in charge of technical and
organizational issues in representing our fiscal interests in relations with international financial institutions,” he said.
Ristic announced that the Commission would today discuss the issues of Yugoslavia’s assets and elections for the parliament of the new joint state.
“We are trying to define a model for the division of Yugoslavia’s assets,” he added.
