    [04] ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT OF SERBIA AFTER LIFTING OF SANCTIONS

    Lifting of economic sanctions on Yugoslavia has a great significance for our economy and for all citizens of our country. It is a question of a first-rate political, economic, cultural and I would say, civilizational act which is globally returning our country to the international community - stated the Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia Mirko Marjanovic. "Now, when we are free of great pressures, limitations and difficulties, in an environment of durable peace and political stability, we must turn towards an accelerated economic and social development of our Republic. We have available great production and development potentials which will make possible over the forthcoming years a fast economic recovery and a significant growth of the standard of living of the population", said Prime Minister Marjanovic. He also especially emphasized that we have succeeded in the period of worst sanctions of turning the negative trends in the economy into positive ones, that the confidence has been returned into the local national currency. Lifting of sanctions is the result of the consistent policy of peace conducted by our country and of the strives for the solution of political crisis in former Yugoslavia, said Marjanovic.

After the talks with the chief of the German diplomacy Klaus Kinkel, he stated that "Austria and Germany in spite of certain skeptical overtones, have greatly strived for the lifting of sanctions, because all the conditions from the Dayton Accords have been fulfilled".
