Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence


APPENDIX 43

Memorandum submitted by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

ASSISTANCE TO KOSOVO

I refer to our telephone conversation yesterday in which you asked for clarification of figures for EU assistance provided by the European Commission.[73]

  I attach a chart giving updated figures for humanitarian assistance, reconstruction assistance and support to the Kosovo budget. The figures for contributions to the UN and OSCE, to KFOR/KVM, diplomatic missions and other costs were correct. The European Commission is currently collating updated aggregate figures for member states' bilateral contributions. I will forward this information to you as it is available.

  I also attach a chart showing the rate of disbursement of EC funds.

  You also asked about the number of international police in Kosovo. As of 17 April, 2,898 police were deployed in Kosovo from 44 UN member states.
