Talks on electricity delivery to Serbian communities in Kosovo move ahead

Belgrade, 29 November 2006

Head of the economic team for Kosovo-Metohija and the South of Serbia Nenad Popovic said that the letter he received today from UNMIK Chief Joachim Ruecker is a step towards realising the Serbian government's offer of humanitarian electricity delivery.

Popovic recalled that the government offered to deliver 50 million kilowatts of electricity per month as a form of humanitarian aid to endangered areas. He also stressed that cooperation with UNMIK regarding this issue has finally moved forward.

According to Popovic, experts from the economic team of the Coordinating Centre for Kosovo-Metohija, as well as experts from the Ministry of Energy and Mining, Serbian Electric Power Industry (EPS) and Electric Power Network (EMS) are working together to find a solution so as to deliver this aid as soon as possible.

Popovic said he believes that Serbian and UNMIK experts will soon overcome all administrative, legal and technical obstacles and normalise the supply of electrical energy to Serbian communities in Kosovo.

He stressed that finding a solution for the realisation of this offer is a priority both for the Coordinating Centre and UNMIK.

The head of the economic team announced a meeting next week with experts from UNMIK which will focus on overcoming administrative, legal and technical issues that slow down realisation of this humanitarian delivery. He also expressed hope that the implementation of the aid will start after the meeting.
