EU: At least 170 million dollars for Albania

Now the association agreement is also ready LUXEMBOURG - The EU Council of Ministers determined the amount available for refugees and emergency assistance for Albania. It was decided that 100 million euros from the stocked programs of EU member states should be made available. "The Stabilization-Association Agreement with Albania and Macedonia should begin as soon as possible, and relations with Serbia can be rebuilt only if the new government of such a country has rejected Milosevic's nationalist and expansionist policy." The 27 ministers also said that the Council of member states will send 150 million euros for the reconstruction and further development of the region. The President of the European Commission, Jacques Santer, declared that the EU will impose an embargo on the oil that supplies Milosevic and a flight ban. It was also decided that these retaliatory measures would be lifted the moment Milosevic capitulates and accepts the deployment of ground forces in Kosovo. Along with the conference for peace in the Balkans, a reconstruction fund for the Balkan countries is also expected to be established. British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that Albania and Macedonia need financial support both for staying and for the return of refugees in the crisis.
