U.S. to Restore Normal Trade Relations for Serbia and Montenegro on December 4, 2003
Today the State Department published a Federal Register notice announcing that normal trade relations (NTR) status will be restored to Serbia and Montenegro as of December 4, 2003. NTR status was revoked for Serbia and Montenegro in 1992 during the conflict in Bosnia. The decision to restore NTR status was made after the State Department found that Serbia and Montenegro has ceased its armed conflict with the other ethnic peoples of the region, has agreed to respect the borders of the six republics that comprised the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia,and has ceased all support of Serbian forces inside Bosnia-Hercegovina.
