(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUNE 22 - In the first six months of this year the European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed agreements that worth 600 million euros for projects in the Western Balkans, and more than half of the amount - about 340 million euros - will be destined for Serbia. That's what said today Dubravka Negre, head of the EIB Office for the Western Balkans, based in Belgrade. Since 2001, when it resumed its activities in Serbia, the EIB has financed projects in the Balkan Country for 5.3 billion euro, Negre told Tanjug, in view of the 60th anniversary of the EIB (which has been active in the Western Balkans for 40 years). The projects, Dubravka Negre specified, involved both public and private sectors, such as infrastructure, transport, energy, education, scientific research, health, municipal services, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
