U.S. TO SEND FINANCIAL AID TO BOSNIA

SARAJEVO, April 24 (Hina) - The Prime Minister of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Hasan Muratovic, on Wednesday said that the financial aid the United States intended to give for the reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina would start coming in the next three or four weeks. "The expected help of $80 million is based on credits for entrepreneurs", Muratovic told reporters after his talks with William Montgomery, special advisor to U.S. President Bill Clinton for the implementation of the Bosnian peace agreement. Bosnia-Herzegovina could soon expect financial aid from the United States for the revival of agricultural production and construction of a road to Gorazde via a corridor which was determined by Dayton maps. Montgomery told reporters that the two sides agreed that the project of the reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina should begin as soon as possible. A special bilateral contract on cooperation between Bosnia-Herzegovina and the U.S.A. should be signed next week, Montgomery said, adding he hoped that concrete results would be evident in a few months.
