The European Commission and the World Bank co-chaired a technical meeting of donors in Pristina on February 25-26, 2001. The meeting was prepared in close collaboration with the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).

With the help of donor assistance, significant progress has been made by the interim civil administration since the Second Donors’ Conference of November 1999 in putting in place a sound market-oriented economic framework, in implementing the reconstruction and recovery program, and in improving conditions for a self sustaining economy, while decreasing aid dependency.

The meeting discussed the current overall situation in Kosovo, the economic policy framework, and progress made in reconstruction and recovery.

UNMIK presented it's priorities for the period 2001-2003, based on the Kosovo Consolidated Budget 2001 and Public Reconstruction Investment Program for 2001-2003. This meeting was also an opportunity to get up to date information about donors’ plans of assistance for 2001.
