Abstract
Representatives of international bilateral and multilateral donors met February 25–26 in Kosovo’s capital, Pristina, to examine and reevaluate the level of their financial support for Kosovo’s reconstruction budget. Donors were generally pleased with the progress made toward establishing a sustainable budget and pledged funds to bridge the gap between expenditures and locally generated revenues in 2001. Donor grants will finance about one-third of recurrent budget spending in 2001, compared with one-half in 2000.
