The allocated funds will remain at the current level of approximately half a billion euros a year, but they will be spent in a more rational way, for concrete development projects instead of general needs.

The government has suggested that municipalities be demanded to make business plans in which they would specify the things that could be done in terms of sustainable return and survival of displaced persons.

Serbian Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic stated that the Ministry had also issued a public call for distribution of credit funding amounting to two milion euros for new and existing small and medium businesses in Kosovo.
