DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 5336]


Determination on U.S. Bilateral Assistance and International 
Financial Institution Voting for Projects in Serbia and the Entity of 
the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 561 of the 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-102) (FOAA), I hereby waive the 
application of Section 561 of the FOAA with regard to certain U.S. 
bilateral assistance programs in Serbia and the Republika Srpska and 
determine that such assistance directly supports the implementation of 
the Dayton Accords. I also hereby waive the application of section 561 
of the FOAA with regard to U.S. support for International Financial 
Institution projects in Serbia and the Republika Srpska that directly 
support the implementation of the Dayton Accords as decided by the 
Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs and in accordance 
with 561(c) and (d).
    Programs directed towards the municipalities of Bijeljina, Han 
Pijesak, Pale, and Sokolac in the Republika Srpska are excluded from 
this waiver because competent authorities there have helped to provide 
protection and support to war crimes indictees. Were the U.S. 
Government to determine at a future date that assistance projects that 
could benefit these municipalities merited consideration, these 
activities would be subject to a separate waiver determination.
    This Determination shall be reported to the Congress and published 
in the Federal Register.

    Dated: February 9, 2006.
Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
