The second sitting of the Sub-Committee for Economic Issues of the Diaspora was held on 19 May 2010. The sitting was chaired by Sub-Committee Chairman Milorad Buha.

The Sub-Committee members consulted on the further activities of the Sub-Committee for Economic Issues of the Diaspora.

The Sub-Committee decided to request information from the Ministry for Diaspora on the manner of distribution of the 2010 budgetary funds allocated to associations, societies and organisations in the diaspora.

In the continuation, the Sub-Committee members decided to request information from the Ministry Economy and Regional Development and Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the economic attaches’ activity plan, their competencies, as well as a list of the 28 countries where they had been appointed.

The Sub-Committee members agreed in the estimate that the potential for a more active inclusion of the diaspora in Serbia’s economic development should be analysed in more detail so that the diaspora’s foreign currency remittances that enter Serbia would rise above the present 5 billion USD.
