DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 6467]


Determination on U.S. Position on Proposed European Bank for 
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Facility in Serbia

    Pursuant to section 658 of the Department of State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2008 (Div. J, Pub. 
L. 110-161) (SFOAA), and Department of State Delegation of Authority 
Number 312, I hereby determine that the allocation of the EBRD's 
Sustainable Energy Credit Line for the Western Balkans, including 
Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia will lead 
to sustainable development and economic integration in the region and 
contribute to a stronger economy in the Western Balkans, including 
Serbia, directly supporting implementation of the Dayton Accords. I 
therefore waive the application of Section 658 of the SFOAA to the 
extent that provision would otherwise prevent the U.S. Executive 
Directors of the EBRD from voting in favor of these projects.
    This Determination shall be reported to the Congress and published 
in the Federal Register.

    Dated: November 21, 2008.
Marcie Ries,
Acting Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, 
Department of State.
