If Serbia does not sell refineries and carry out reform of pension system, IMF may leave Serbia for good

If Serbia does not fulfill obligations from the agreement it signed with the International Monetary Fund until the end of October 2005, IMF Mission may not come to Belgrade, which means that the three-year arrangement can not be ended, says the Governor of NBS and head of the Serbian side in the negotiations, Radovan JelašiĆ. The completion of the arrangement was postponed until December 2005 (it should have been ended in May 2005), under condition that two remaining tasks be fulfilled, which are: sale of the refineries in the make up of Petroleum Industry of Serbia and reform of the pension system. The Government accepted these obligations from the start and they have to be fulfilled now, says Jelašić. (source Pristop www.pristop.co.yu + Radio B92)
