Regime list

Current Regime List: Federal Republic of Yugoslavia & Serbia (html)
Last updated: 4 August 2003

Overview

The European Union adopted Council Regulation (EC) No 1295/98 on 22 June 1998. The Regulation provided, among other matters, for a freeze on the funds of the Governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and the Republic of Serbia. The restrictive measures were subsequently modified to include a ban on investment in the FRY and the Republic of Serbia.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2488/2000 lifted the investment ban and the financial sanctions in respect of the FRY and the Republic of Serbia. However, specific sanctions still applied to former President Slobodan Milosevic and those persons associated with him.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1205/2001 modified the financial sanctions to cover only those funds belonging to Mr Slobodan Milosevic, and certain members of his family and other close associates. The Regulation had the effect of amending the list of persons in Annex I of Council Regulation (EC) No 2488/2000 to whom the financial sanctions apply.
