Kosovo Donors Conference for Kosovo on 11 July

9 Jun 2008 |

The European Commission will be hosting a Donors Conference for Kosovo, in Brussels, on 11 July. European Union Member States, key international donors, International Financial Institutions as well as international and UN agencies will be invited. The aim of the Conference will be to collect pledges from donors for Kosovo’s socio-economic development, to create the conditions for growth, investment and jobs for all communities in one of the poorest parts of Europe. The European Union’s executive arm has already earmarked 395.1 million euros (614 million dollars) for Kosovo for 2007-2011, and could allocate a further 200 million for “specific socio-economic needs” linked to its new status.
