The European Commission is considering Belgrade's proposal to set aside EUR 120mn from pre-accession funds. The money would go toward the preservation of Serbia's macroeconomic stability and the budget, EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said in Brussels on Monday. Djelic asks EUR 120mn from EU After a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic, Rehn highlighted that the EU may start annulling visas for some Western Balkan countries in 2009, given that the reports of the commission's expert missions had found progress in the meeting of EU requirements by Serbia and other countries of the region. According to him, support for the stabilization of the Serbian budget would be yet another proof of the EU's tangible solidarity with Serbia, which is working to eliminate the consequences of the global financial crisis and maintain macroeconomic stability. Rehn said this after Djelic handed a letter to the European Commission, which proposes that EUR120 million be set aside from pre-accession funds for budget stabilization and hence the continuation of reforms. Djelic said that he had requested support from the European Commission for an agreement with private European banks in Serbia, to have them delay the repayment of the mature debts of Serbian private companies totaling EUR5 billion this year.
