Kosovo: exceptional Community financial assistance

The European Parliament adopted its legislative proposal drafted by Mr. Elmar BROK (EPP/ED, D) concerning exceptional financial assistance to Kosovo. The Parliament introduced two main amendments: - a clause is added to Article 1 (1) making the availability of the financial assistance subject to other donors also honouring their commitments; - a new Article 2 (1a) stipulating that the exceptional financial assistance may be used solely to finance budgetary needs in Kosovo which arise in public, quasipublic, municipal and other administrations and institutions appointed by UNMIK or directly by the Special Representative of the UN Secreatry-General (SRSG) and completely controlled by them.�
