Press Release: EUR 100 million support programme for Kosovo

On 14.2.01, the European Commission approved the commitment of €100 million to finance a support programme for Kosovo in 2001 which focuses on housing, water and solid waste management, agriculture, local government and civil society and health. The programme, which will be implemented by the European Agency for Reconstruction, is the result of close co-ordination with the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and other international donors. The projects identified complement the on-going work of ECHO (Humanitarian Aid Office), other humanitarian agencies and NGO's, as well as reconstruction programmes already underway.
