  • Aleksandar Vlahovic (Minister of Economy) said that Serbia will demand from Iraq debt which was owed to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. "The Iraqi debt to former SFRY amounts to $1.8-2bn, and Serbia and Montenegro should get 38 percent of that sum." - 18th April

3. Action - Write to Aleksandar Vlahovic.
