  • [01] NO ECONOMIC BASIS FOR DE-STABILIZATION AND DINAR DEVALUATION

    At the session of the central coordination team of the Government of the Republic of Serbia for economic recovery, it was stated yesterday that good economic results were achieved in the past year. Industrial production has grown for 11 percent, exports for 27 percent and prices over the last six months were higher for only 19.1 percent. On the basis of the objective indicators and consistent management of the firm monetary policy in the past period, it was determined that the de-stabilization of the dinar exchange rate at the beginning of this year is of a temporary character and that it is considerably caused by non-economic factors and ungrounded inflatory expectations. Since during this year, under the conditions of planned substantial growth of production and liberalization of the foreign trade trends, exclusively the fall of prices may be expected in many sectors, there are absolutely no economic grounds either for de- stabilization or the devaluation of the dinar. Businessmen have firmly supported the established targets of economic policy for this year - stability of prices and of the exchange rate, considerable growth of production and exports and a higher standard of living of population. They have also insisted on measures to be undertaken for the respect of firm financial discipline and for an energetic suppression of shadow economy and smuggling.

    [02] BILDT'S OFFICE DISSATISFIED WITH THE AMOUNT OF AID FOR REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA

    Office of the high UN Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina Carl Bildt is dissatisfied with the amount of aid which during the past year was sent to the Republic of Srpska, stated yesterday Bildt's spokesman Collum Murphy. "This aid should be greater this year. We are trying for as much aid as possible to reach ordinary people in the Republic of Srpska, who in many areas are living under very difficult conditions", said Murphy at the press conference in Sarajevo. Last year the Republic of Srpska received only two percent of the overall international aid for Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Murphy stated as the reason for this the refusal of the Republic of Srpska to participate at the past Donor Conference. "After the formation of the joint institutions of government and an active participation of all the sides in their work, also the attitude will be changed of the international community towards the distribution of funds for reconstruction", said Murphy.

    [03] DAY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA CELEBRATED

    In Brcko the Day of the Republic of Srpska was celebrated yesterday through a number of events and its Saint Protector's Day - Saint Stephen. Dayton Peace Accords have given the Republic of Srpska a high degree of sovereignty and the Republic of Srpska shall respect these accords and will not allow itself to be denied any of its rights prescribed in them, and shall not allow "for any of their faulty interpretation to be to the detriment of the Serbian national interests", said Biljana Plavsic, President of the Republic of Srpska at the official ceremony. After over one year of peace, the Republic of Srpska must venture on the path of recovery, said Plavsic and called upon the citizens and competent authorities to do their utmost in order to overcome all the interior difficulties with which the country is faced after four years of destruction. She also called upon the international community to allocate funds designated for the recovery of Bosnia-Herzegovina in a more just way than it has done so far. While speaking of the arbitration on Brcko, Plavsic underlined the importance which this town is having for the survival of the Republic of Srpska and warned that "those who are playing with the issue of Brcko are again tempting the phantoms of war in these areas".

    [06] WE ARE OPENING DOORS FOR GOOD AND STABLE RELATIONS

    "Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is a very important country of the Balkans and thus the opening, or rather re-opening, after thirty years of the Embassy of Israel in your country is a great challenge for a diplomate", stated yesterday the newly appointed Ambassador of Israel in Belgrade Mr. David Sason. We are opening doors in order to create good and stable relations at the governmental, economic and cultural levels, because the similarities which exist between our peoples are offering possibilities for us to learn from one another through a two-way exchange of experiences, which will secure for us stability and development in peace, said Sason. While underlining that ahead of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is now a new era of hope and the end of hardships caused by four years of war environment and sanctions, Ambassador Sason said that the endurance of the Serbian people is qualified as yet another similarity with the Israeli people, and that "several decades of silence did not impair the feelings" which the Israeli and the Serbian people are nursing towards each other. Israeli Ambassador especially underlined the interest of business people in Israel to cooperate with the Yugoslav businessmen.
