WASHINGTON, June 27 (Hina) - The United States will promise
significant financial assistance to the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (FRY) at a donors' conference, scheduled for Friday in
Brussels, but it will make this conditional on Belgrade's readiness
to continue and accomplish full cooperation with the ICTY
(International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia).
US Secretary of State Colin Powell has decided to send the State
Department's co-ordinator for development of democracy in south-
east Europe, Ambassador Larry Napper, to the fund-raising
conference in Brussels.
Thus, the United States expresses strong support to the development
of democracy in the FRY, the economic recovery of that country and
its attempts to free itself from Milosevic's legacy, a spokesman
for the State Department, Philip Reeker, said on Wednesday.
He declined to say how much money the United States would be willing
to allocate for the said purposes, explaining the sum partially
depends on the decision of the Congress.
According to some unofficial reports, the US will be ready to
allocate about hundred million dollars from its budget next year.
