Surely NATO nations are entitled to compensation for their financial outlays, and a fair return on their investment in installing their loan officers and claims collectors in the new Yugoslav federal government. To insure that this comes about, the European Investment Bank will no doubt establish a local branch in Belgrade soon, with Djindjic and Kostunica on the board. The International (Loan Shark) Community has generously added $350,000 of roll-over funds "due to recent developments in FR Yugoslavia." You know, that matter of violating federal law and the will of the Yugoslav parliament by kidnapping and selling off the nation's former president. If the Budapest Boys currently "running" the government in Belgrade are good and turn over two other leaders of their people to Carla Del Ponte - assuming they can get the same bounty as they did for Milosevic - they might be able to purchase their very own Tomahawk missile from Raytheon. But, no, that would be like spending the rent money; they might get bombed again.] Blue News Newsnewsgroup: Blue News Yugoslavia English, 14.07.2001 10:08:04 Yugoslavia signed agreement with European Investment Bank Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister Miroljub Labus and European Investment Bank Vice-President Evald Novotni on July 9 signed an agreement on guarantees for Yugoslavia`s earlier debts to this financial institutions and on the continuation of mutual cooperation.
