The WB intends to use these funds to help Serbia create a competitive and inclusive economy and, through this, support its integration into the European Union, the release states.
The WB Board of Executive Directors welcomes the steady progress of Serbia in implementing structural reforms that contribute to macro-fiscal sustainability and create a competitive and market-oriented economy.
