USAID to earmark 150 million dollars to Serbia-Montenegro
BELGRADE - The United States development agency USAID will in 2003 aid Serbia-Montenegro with about 150
million dollars intended for the development of the economic policy, democracy, a civic society and local self-rule, USAID Belgrade office head James Stevenson said on Wednesday.
Of this sum, Serbia will get 110 million dollars and Montenegro 40 million, Stevenson told the press. Underscoring that the Competitiveness Summit in Belgrade's Sava Congressional Centre is part of this aid, he announced new USAID projects for Serbia-Montenegro over the next few years worth several hundreds million dollars. So far, USAID has targeted on the producers of raspberries and furniture in Serbia within the support for stepping up the level of competitiveness of the domestic economy, Stevenson said.
