The first edition of our booklet presented in detail all the activities that our team carried out with a view of addressing the emergency and humanitarian relief activities The edition that you will read at this point presents activities that are focused towards short and medium term recovery of the country, in line with the Recovery Needs Assessment that we conducted jointly with the Government of Serbia, World Bank and the European Union during June-July 2014 Our team will ensure that long term recovery and reconstruction needs in line with the Recovery Needs Assessment report are well represented and included in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2016-2020 (UNDAF), which our team is currently preparing with the Government of Serbia We would like to acknowledge the tremendous cooperation that we have received from all our national and international partners involved in providing support to the country’s recovery activities This document is representative of the element of the recovery work that is implemented by the UN Country Team and International Financial Institutions in coordination with all other partners and sister organizations Our common goal is to ensure human security for all people in Serbia, even in the case of exceptional natural disasters Irena Vojáčková-Sollorano United Nations Resident Coordinator in Serbia Photo by: UNCT in Serbia/Djordje Novakovic 5 MAP ASSISTANCE Most-affected municipalities in Serbia by floods Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) PROVIDED Over 25,000 assistance packages, health and hygiene kits for most vulnerable families (UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA) Loans and project activities of up to 300 million EUR for transport and 120,000 parents road reconstruction projects, support to small and medium and children provided with enterprizes (SMEs), agriculture and energy sectorsmade available daily psychological support (UNICEF) by the International Financial Institutions (CEB, EBRD, EIB) Complete school materials for 8,000 300 million USD loan for the Floods Emergency Recovery approved flood-affectedchildren by the World Bank Group for the energy and in Obrenovac, Valjevo and Ub (UNICEF) agriculture sectors as well as repairing damaged flood control infrastructure Medical supplies and expert medical assistance for 10,000 people and public 240,000 people health advice for entire response (WHO) get access to safe water and clean sewage systems (UNDP) 15,000 beneficiaries and up to Repairs on 5000 small farming 300 houses in 24 municipalities helped in Krupanj and Obrenovac families (UNOPS and IOM) in restarting agricultural activities (FAO) Complete reconstruction of 300 most vulnerable families 50 houses and 16 schools (Refugees, IDPs, Roma) (implemented by UNOPS and UNDP) supported with immediate cash grants (UNHCR) 6 7 Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) In this context, the CEB’s Administrative Council approved on 16 June 2014 the re-allocation of an active 32 million Euros Project Loan to partially finance the construction and/or rehabilitation of houses and/or infrastructure damaged by the floods. The Administrative Council also approved an interest rate subsidy of 1 million Euros in favour of the restructured Project Loan, in an effort to increase at maximum the affordability for the loan and decrease the pressure on the budget. Disbursements for this restructured Project Loan are set to start during the following months. Immediately after the spring 2014 floods in Serbia, the CEB services and the Serbian authorities agreed on restructuring the objectives of several active loans with an accelerated disbursement option as a response to the reconstruction needs in the country.

Part of the funds from a 95 million Euros railways project in Serbia can be redirected to repairing damaged tracks. In the energy sector: partial reallocation of 100 million Euros of undisbursed commitments to Serbia Gas, and possibly a new line for Electric Power industry of Serbia (EPS) (for up to 200 million Euros) In the municipal sector: restructuring of existing exposures to meet extraordinary expenditures caused by the floods. In the private sector, the EBRD is in the position to provide extra working capital for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) This can be done directly or through financial intermediaries: In June, the EBRD launched its Western Balkans Finance Framework IV (WBFFIV) up to 500 million Euros, a size calibrated specifically to respond also to private credit demand related to flood damages. The first financing of up to 50 million Euros under WBFF IV has been extended to UniCredit Bank Serbia The EBRD is currently working on an Agriculture support Facility aimed specifically at the SMEs in the agribusiness in the affected areas. In the long-term, the EBRD will be looking into funding flood protection measures and adaptation projects. The EBRD has structured and initiated a new range of financial support programs to help Serbia overcome the damage caused by the floods.
