Belgrade,
16 March 2009
Deputy Prime Minister for EU Integration Bozidar Djelic today voiced his belief that the Serbian government and the IMF will agree on arrangements for 2009 and 2010 by the end of next week.
At a meeting regarding recession in Serbia, being held at the Hyatt Hotel, Djelic specified that it is of great importance for Serbia to reach a favourable agreement with the IMF.
He said that the IMF expects that world’s economy will get even worse and that Eastern and Central Europe’s economic growth will fall by 3 %.
Djelic stressed that the Serbian economy will stagnate this year, but Serbia is not in recession.
The Minister announced that next week he will visit Brussels, where he will meet with EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn to discuss EU micro-financial help to Serbia.
The Serbian government and the IMF today started negotiations concerning a new stand-by arrangement.
The IMF delegation is headed by Chief of the IMF mission Albert Jagger and the Serbia delegation is lead by Governor of the National Bank of Serbia Radovan Jelasic, Minister of Economy and Regional Development Mladjan Dinkic and Minister of Finance Diana Dragutinovic.
