	Balkans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today, the term 'Southeast Europe' is preferred or, in the case of Slovenia and sometimes Croatia, 'Central Europe'.
		The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era.
		In the past 550 years, because of the frequent Ottoman wars in Europe fought in and around the Balkans, and the comparative Ottoman isolation from the mainstream of economic advance (reflecting the shift of Europe's commercial and political centre of gravity towards the Atlantic), the Balkans has been the least developed part of Europe.

	Southeast Europe Collections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Currently, the collection for all of Southeastern Europe numbers some 64,000 volumes, or about 18% of the Libraries’ total holdings for Slavic and East European studies.
		The single greatest event in the development of the Southeast European collections was the Libraries’ involvement in the PL-480 plan for Yugoslavia, a Congressionally sponsored program which liquidated a part of Yugoslavia’s debt to the United States by acquiring currently published books and journals for a select number of American university libraries.
		Each of the twelve U.S. libraries participating in the PL-480 Yugoslav program received every book and periodical, and many newspapers published in every republic of the country from 1967 through 1972—by lucky coincidence, one of the most liberal and fruitful periods for publishing in post-war Yugoslavia’s history.

	Southeast Europe: Regional Economic Prospects, External Financing Needs, and IMF Programs
		The projections in Tables 1 and 2 assume that, in the absence of an acceleration of regional projects, project (as distinct from balance of payments) financing by official creditors will amount to about US$2 billion in 2000, similar to the amounts estimated to have been disbursed in 1998 and 1999 (see Table 2).
		In view of the high economic and social return to infrastructure spending in Southeast Europe, there is a strong case for additional financing for regional projects.
		However, taking into account the relatively tight capacity for repayment, due consideration should be given to the appropriate terms for such financing.

	PEP-Southeast Europe Infrastructure Program
		Several years of project management experience and careful analysis of infrastructure needs in the Southeast European countries have shown that private sector investment will be necessary to meet the transport, energy, water and sanitation, and other infrastructure needs in this region—in spite of the availability of capital from international financial institutions (IFIs) and donors.
		Nevertheless, an increasing number of public private transactions in infrastructure in Southeast Europe, followed by the enactment of pro-market laws and regulations expanding these opportunities, demonstrates that successful experiences are a strong factor in inducing and facilitating this process.
		PEP-Southeast Europe Infrastructure is designed as a vehicle that narrows the gap between the public and private sector to make qualified PSP projects possible.
