Belgrade/Washington,

Minister of Finance Dusan Vujovic met today with representatives of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the World Bank in the framework of the spring meeting of the IMF and World Bank in Washington.
The topics of the meeting were the implementation of the existing programme of cooperation between the international financial institutions and Serbia, including support for restructuring of the financial sector and public enterprises and the development of the business environment.
EBRD Vice President Alain Piloux expressed his satisfaction with the meeting with the delegation of Serbia, and stressed that Serbia gives the impression of a stable and secure country in the Balkans.
He said that the EBRD positively assessed the stable growth and commitment to reforms in Serbia, and expressed willingness to increase investment in our country, both through advice and financial support, and through active involvement in resolving the issue of problematic loans, on the basis of the Strategy adopted by the government of Serbia.
World Bank Regional Director for South East Europe Ellen Goldstein estimated that Serbia has achieved particularly good results in the field of macro monetary stabilisation and fiscal consolidation and GDP growth.
World Bank Vice President for Europe and Central Asia Cyril Miller said that Serbia now has access to real opportunities for development, which help to accurately define the priorities below fiscal adjustment, strengthening the capacity and efficiency.
Vujovic said that Serbia is focused on the implementation of the initiated reforms and a stable financial situation is the base to respond to possible challenges after the formation of the new Serbian government.
