According to a statement issued by the Deputy Prime Minister’s Cabinet, Djelic informed the delegation about the conditions set by the EU for granting Serbia €100 million in non-repayable funds for assisting the budget and a further €200 million for macrofinancial support.
It was stated at the meeting that alongside reaching an agreement concerning the 2010 budget it is important for Serbia to ensure the long term viability of its public finances through reforms, even after the end of the arrangement with the IMF in May 2011.
Djelic and Jaeger focused particularly on possible savings in the public purchase system, the reform of major public systems and further investment in infrastructure and knowledge economy.
