Fiscal Year January I - December 31 INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED LOAN TO JUGOSLAVENSKI NAFTOVOD PODUZECE ZA TRANSPORT NAFTE U OSNIVANJU, RIJEKA WITH THE GUARANTEE OF THE SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA 1. I submit the following report and recommendation on a proposed loan equivalent to US$49.0 million to Jugoslavenski Naftovod Poduzece Za Transport Nafte U Osnivanju, Rijeka (Naftovod), with the guarantee of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, to help finance an oil pipeline project. The loan would have a term of eighteen years including four years of grace. Inter- est would be at 8-1/2 percent per annum. Co-financing for the project is being provided by agencies in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Kuwait and Libya. PART I - THE ECONOMY 2. A basic economic mission visited Yugoslavia in November 1972; its report entitled "The Economic Development of Yugoslavia" (R74-1) was distri- buted to the Executive Directors on January 2, 1974. An updating Economic Memorandum (662a-YU) was distributed to the Executive Directors on June 23, 1975. Basic data on the economy are given in Annex I. Economic Trends and Development Issues 3. The Yugoslav economy has experienced rapid growth during the last two decades, with total GDP at constant prices having increased by an average rate of 6.3 percent, and per capita GDP at 5.2 percent annually. In 1973, per capita GNP came to about US$900 (World Bank Atlas methodology). This impressive record of growth was accompanied by some fundamental structural changes in the economy which has moved towards a modern industry/service oriented urban society. The share of agriculture in GDP declined from 38 to 20 percent while the share of industry and mining increased from 16 to 37 percent. 4. The population growth rate averaged 1 percent per year during the last two decades, but with considerable regional variations ranging from 1.6 percent in the less developed republics and provinces to 0.7 percent in the developed ones. The structural changes in the economy permitted a sizeable transfer of labor force from agriculture to industry and services. However, by 1974 nearly 42 percent of the active population was still engaged in agriculture and forestry, mostly on small private farms; industry (including mining, construction and handicraft) accounted for 28 percent, services for 20 percent, and the remainder was working abroad or unemployed. 5. The socio-political framework evolved through several constitutional amendments which were consolidated in the new constitution of 1974. It strengthens three important features of the socio-political system of Yugoslavia. First, self-management, whereby the use and control of the socially owned means of production is entrusted to the workers' collectives, is the fundamental right and obligation of every "basic organization of associated labor" (the smallest technologically identifiable unit of operation) in every sector and activity. Second, the responsibility for most important social and policy decisions has been shifted from the Federation down to the republics and provinces, and on to the communes. And third, the management and financial responsibility for social activities (like health, education, welfare, etc.) is transferred from the realm of the state to "communities of interest" (decision-making bodies which comprise delegates of both suppliers and users of the specific se-rvices). Responsibility for certain economic activities affecting large segments of the society (like communal services, power production, highways and water management) can be - and progressively is - similarly organized through communities of interest. 6. The social sector, which includes government, most enterprises and institutions such as libraries, hospitals, theatres and schools, has the leading role in economic and social devleopment; it accounts for 85 percent of GDP and employs over half of the total labor force. The private sector is predominantly comprised of peasant farms (with a 10 hectare limit to land holdings) and small enterprises (with a 5 person limit on the number of non- family workers), mainly in handicrafts, construction, trade, transport and tourism. In the past the private sector has been relatively neglected by government policy. However, lately more attention is being devoted to pri- vate farmers with a view to accelerating the growth of agricultural production and reducing the rural/urban income disparity. 7. Regional income disparity - with a gradient of GDP per capita falling generally from North to South - has emerged as one of the most important de- velopment issues of the country. Four distinct regions can be distinguished by stage of development. The Republic of Slovenia is the high income region with almost double the national average. The Republics of Serbia, Croatia and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina - make up the middle income regions, ranging from 100 to 125 percent of the national average. The Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia - with per capita GDP between 67 to 75 percent constitute the upper group among the officially designated "less developed regions". The Autonomous Province of Kosovo, with an average in- come of only 33 percent of the national average, is at the bottom of the spread. These inter-regional disparities can be traced back further to intra- regional disparities. Within Republics and Provinces the spread between communes can extend over the range of 10 to 1, and it is the prevalence of stagnating poor rural communes within the less developed regions which largely determnines the disparity between the regions. The rate of economic growth of the less developed regions as a whole was only slightly below the average for Yugoslavia, but due to the faster population growth (1.6 percent per year versus 0.7 percent in the more developed regions) the income disparity had tended to widen significantly during the last two aecades. In order to reverse this trend and to accelerate economic growth anc social development in the less developed regions, mechanisms have been &nsituted for sizeable transfers of financial resources. in i973. credits on highly fiavor al:e terms (containing a grant element of around 50 percuac) were maade available through - 3 - the "Federal Fund" to the less developed regions in the amount of almost US$300 million, equivalent to more than 20 percent of their total investment in the social sector. An additional US$120 million for social services were transferred as budgetary grants. 8. Open unemployment has not been a serious problem and is estimated to be only around 3-4 percent of the resident labor force in 1974. However, this low rate conceals three important aspects of the employment problem. First, an estimated 1 million out of a total labor force of around 9 million (in 1974) has assumed temporary employment abroad. Second, there is some evidence of growing regional and occupational imbalances, due to low inter- regional mobility of labor and to unmatched skill requirements in a fast changing economy. And third, severe underemployment persists in the private agricultural sector. Recent Developments 9. In 1974, Yugoslavia recorded a rapid increase of GDP of 8 percent in real terms as compared to 5 percent and 4 percent in 1973 and 1972 respec- tively. Industry was the leading sector with an estimated growth rate of 11 percent in 1974; however, the growth of agricultural production, enhanced by favorable weather conditions, and of services (with the exception of tourism) also accelerated during the year. This rapid expansion of economic activity permeated the whole economy. Investment outlays grew in nominal terms by almost 50 percent and consumer incomes by close to 30 percent during the year. The resulting rapid increase in total demand for goods and services was re- flected both in the rise of employment and of imports - both in nominal and real terms - and domestic prices. The gain in total employment amounted to about 5 percent in 1974 and exceeded for the first time the natural increase of the labor force. The industrial price index rose by almost 30 percent while the cost of living index rose less rapidly by some 21 percent. Since income and fiscal policy leave, for institutional reasons, little room for demand management, the major response to the inflationary pressures was in terms of monetary policy. After an expansionary phase during 1972 and 1973, the money supply increased by only 24 percent as compared to a nominal in- crease of social product of about 36 percent. The shift to a large deficit in the balance of payments materializing in 1974 also contributed to the increased effectiveness of the monetary policy. 10. The balance of trade deficit increased from US$1.7 billion in 1973 to almost US$3.7 billion in 1974 both on account of an increase in the volume and the rapid rise in the price of imports and the stagnation of real exports (the terms of trade for the country are estimated to have deteriorated by about 10 percent). The traditionally large surplus for invisibles (mostly from workers remittances and tourism receipts) failed to compensate for the large trade deficit and the country recorded a current account deficit in ex- cess of US$1 billion in 1974 as compared to a surplus of US$464 million in 1973. To counteract the situation, the import regime was gradually tightened since August 1974, affecting a large variety of consumer goods and some capital and intermediate goods. In addition, the National Bank raised the intervention -4- point in the foreign exchange market, in effect devaluing the dinar by about 7 percent as against the currencies of Yugoslavia's major trading partners. The large current account deficit has led to some loss of foreign exchange reserves; after gains of US$632 million in 1973, the official reserves fell by US$345 million in 1974. In addition net foreign borrowing, which averaged US$390 million during 1971-73, increased to around US$65n million in 1974. Coranercial import credits from suppliers and credits from financial institu- tions continued to be the major sources of foreign capital. Long-term funds re'lated to financing of development are being made available mainly by the IBRD and some bilateral donors (particularly the Federal Republic of Germany). Yugoslavia has also been one of the beneficiaries of the IMF's Special Oil Facility. Yugoslavia's medium- and long-term external debt outstanding as of December 31, 1973 was US$4,319 million (disbursed onlv) and is expected to have increased to about US$5.1 billion during 1974. Debt service payments amounted to about 14 percent of foreign exchange earnings (including workers remittances) in 1973 and about the same ratio is estimated for 1974. Prospects for 1975 11. The economic program of Yugoslavia for 1975 envisages a slowdown of overall growth to about 6 percent in real terms. This, in combination with a reduced rise of import prices should ease the inflationary pressures. The good harvest in 1974 should affect favorably both food exports and imports. Measures have also been taken to encourage other exports, especially to oil exporting countries and to the non-convertible currency area where valuable raw materials can be obtained in exchange for Yugoslav manufactured goods. Workers' remittances and receipts from tourism are expected to increase mar- ginally. While these changes may lead to some improvement in the country's balance of payments, there is little hope that the current account deficit will be significantly reduced during the current year. Yugoslavia will there- fore need to continue to raise foreign capital on a fairly large scale, mostly from established channels such as the Euro-currency market, suppliers credits and the W4orld Bank. In addition, greater use may be made of credit lines from COMECON countries, and efforts to open up new sources of capital in OPEC countries will be enlarged. Medium- and Long-Term Objectives and Prospects 12. The aggravation of major economic problems during 1974, such as rapid inflation and balance of payments pressures, has led to a reappraisal of developnrent objectives. In the light of the recent shift of relative prices 7 n favor of raw materials, ,nore emphasis will be given to the development of Yugoslavia's owr. natural resources, mainly at the expense of processing in- dustries. In this connection, the development of the energy sector is given the highest priority. It focuses on electric power, where the generating capacity is likely to fall critically short of the rapidly rising power re- quirements of the expanding economy. The development of the power sector will iargely be based on the large unutilized hydropower potential and soft-coal reserves of: the country. Other -riority activities are ferrous metallurgy, so-u.e segrenr.s of nor-ferrous metallurgy (notably lead, zinc, copper, nickel and - 5 - bauxite/aluminum), technologically advanced production equipment, basic chemicals including petroleum refining, agriculture and food processing, interrepublic transportation, multipurpose works, and housing and basic construction material. 13. This emphasis on accelerated development of the raw material basis and the deepening of the economic infrastructure requires a more capital- intensive investment pattern, associated with longer time-lags between invest- ment and output. To sustain this development path, both continued high bor- rowing abroad and an increased savings rate will be essential. Therefore, the income policy - i.e. the guidelines governing the distribution of enter- prise income between workers' income and accumulation - will have a crucial role. 14. The new Five Year Plan (1976-1980), presently under preparation, will focus on the implementation of these objectives. For growth, an average rate of 7 percent per year is proposed as feasible, comparing with a target growth rate of the present Plan of 7.5 percent and an expected realized growth rate of 6.5 percent. For employment, the average planned growth rate would come to about 3 percent with annual increments exceeding the natural increase of the labor force by growing margins. This would permit more vigorous pursuit of two major social objectives: the reduction of the number of temporary migrants abroad, and an increased absorption of the rural under- employment into the social sector. The economy will continue to be open to the world market although the compositon of foreign trade is expected to change with a reduced share for raw material, semifinished products and consumer goods on the import side, and an increased share for agricultural products and manufactured goods on the export side. Workers' remittances will decline (relatively, and possibly in absolute terms), but rising tourism receipts are expected to compensate for this loss in invisible exports. 15. The reduction of regional disparities is another priority objective of the new Five Year Plan. To that end, the transfer of financial resources to the less developed regions in the form of loans at concessionary terms for economic investment and budgetary grants for social development will be con- tinued and will increase at a rate of around 7 percent per year in real terms. Since most of the natural resources of the country, including hydropower, are to be found in the less-developed regions, they will, in additon to the trans- fers, benefit from the increased emphasis on the development of basic indus- tries and power which will to a considerable degree be financed through direct financial contribution from the consuming regions. 16. The new Five Year Plan will be prepared according to the self- management principle as stipulated by the Constitution of 1974, i.e. largely from the bottom up. Planning commences at the level of individual working organizations (economic enterprises or social institutions) and proceeds in a unifying process of converging consensus finding. Working organizations set out their initial programs, coordinate them horizontally (within the same activity) at the level of the Republics or Provinces and - for the priority - 6 - sectors - at the level of the Federation, and they reconcile them vertically with supplying and/or consuming activities, again on a regional and national level. At an advanced stage of consultation and adjustment, the socio- political organizations (communes, Republics and Provinces, the Federation) will join the planning process in order to ensure the integration of overall economic and social objectives and constraints. The consolidated programs of action, which in their totality will constitute the operational portion of the Plan, will be codified in the form of "social contracts" or "self- management agreements" which are legally binding for the whole Plan period unless renegotiated in the case of major deviations occuring in the course of Plan implementation. The new Plan, thus, will differ from the previous Plan in strengthening and formalizing the commitments for implementation by enter- prises, banks and government institutions. Creditworthiness 17. In spite of the present unsettled conditions, the prospects for Yugoslavia's continued economic growth during the next decade are good. The country's endowment of natural and human resources, its relatively low de- pendence on imported primary energy, its pragmatic approach to economic problems and its readiness to undertake institutional changes, combine to give grounds for a favorable assessment of future prospects. Due to the size and structure of external borrowing during 1974 and the years to come, the debt service ratio is expected to gradually increase over the next few years, from 14.4 in 1974 to 14.8 in 1976. However, taking into account Yugoslavia's debt service record and the measures taken in the past to control balance of payments problems, as well as the prospective growth of production and structural improvement of the balance of trade, Yugoslavia remains credit- worthy for a substantial amount of Bank lending. 18. Many of the high priority projects in Yugoslavia have a low foreign exchange component due to the relatively advanced state of Yugoslav industry and the competitiveness of Yugoslav contractors. Were the Bank to confine its lending to the foreign exchange costs of projects, an adequate contri- bution to Yugoslavia's external capital needs could be made only by spreading the lending over a large number of projects, including some of lesser priority. It is therefore appropriate to provide for some measure of local expenditure financing in the Bank's lending program, especially in the less-developed regions. PART II - BANK GROUT OPERATIONS IN YUGOSL-VIA 19. The Bank has made 35 loans totalling about US$1,181 million to Yugoslavia. Of this amount approximately 50 percent (US$571.4 million) has been for 13 loans for the transportation sector - seven for highways totalling US$220 million, four for railways totalling US$248 million, US$59.4 million for the Naftagas pipeline, and $44 mil_Lor, for the Port of Bar Pro4cz:. Bank lending has generally concentrated on infrastructure i,ncluding, in addition to the transportation loans, power (four loans tota-1ing US$205 milLion), - 7 - telecommunications (one loan for US$40 million), three multipurpose projects totalling US$103 million and US$6 million for the Dubrovnik Water Supply and Wastewater project. Nine loans have also been made for industry and two each for tourism and agriculture. IFC has made investments in nine Yugoslav enter- prises totalling about US$130 million. 20. The Federal Government of Yugoslavia with Bank encouragement has recently streamlined the procedures for declaring loans effective. Guarantee Agreements for all loans which formerly required approval from each republic and autonomous province can now be approved by a Federal Coordinating Committee. The average time required to declare loans effective is expected to be reduced from six to three months. Over $140 million were disbursed during FY75, com- pared with $59.4 million in FY74. 21. The major objectives of Bank lending to Yugoslavia are to accelerate development in the less-developed regions of the country; to promote agricul- tural development, particularly among the small private farmers by providing basic infrastructure and credit for the financing of farm development, equip- ment and processing facilities; to promote structural reforms in major sectors of the economy through improved coordination and the strengthening of institu- tions; and to provide Yugoslavia with long-term external capital and thus reduce the country's dependence on short-term external borrowings. These objectives are basically the same as those which have guided Bank lending in previous years, but efforts to give special support to the less-developed regions are being strengthened. 22. Over the next two years loans envisaged for less developed areas include the initial loan for a major multipurpose water development program designed to provide flood control, industrial and domestic water supply, irrigation, and sewerage; the second loans for agricultural and industrial credit; and loans for irrigation. Highway, railway and power transmission projects during the same period will both assist the less-developed regions and promote structural reforms in the transport and energy sectors. IFC is currently investigating several new investment opportunities to encourage joint ventures which would provide technical, management and marketing expertise as well as long-term capital. 23. In addition to substantial assistance given in identifying and pre- paring projects for Bank financing, the Bank is providing technical assistance in several areas. A series of regional studies of the four less-developed regions of Yugoslavia was initiated two years ago and two studies, covering Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina, have been completed. This fall, the third study, of Macedonia, will be completed and the field work for the fourth (Montenegro) will begin. This series, when completed, will contribute to better assessment of development programs and will assist in formulating development strategies for these regions. A Bank assisted study on the improvement of the financial mechanism has been concluded and its recommenda- tions have been included in draft legislation for a new banking law. A Bank - 8- assisted training program for auditors of the Social Accounting Service, which audits all enterprises and Government activities, including Bank financed projects, has progressed satisfactorily and further training is underway in cooperation with an English accounting firm. Assistance from EDI, as well as Bank operations, has been directed towards the improvement of project evaluation. 24. The level of Bank lending has risen substantially to an average of about US$200 million during the period FY74-76. Although this represents only a small proportion of the country's need for external finance, it would be equivalent to almost one-third of the annual long-term official capital in- flow in convertible currencies. The outstanding debt to the Bank is expected to remain at less than 10 percent of Yugoslavia's total external debt. Serv- ice on Bank loans as a proportion of total debt service would decrease from 4.8 percent in 1973 to 4.5 percent in 1976. PART III - THE ENERGY SECTOR 25. Traditionally Yugoslavia has covered a large part of its energy needs from its own resources, but the degree of self-sufficiency has been falling. In 1965 domestic production accounted for 84 percent of consumption on a calorific basis, but by 1973 the percentage had dropped to 67. This trend, coupled with the sharp increase in world energy prices nearly two years ago, explains why Yugoslav national energy policy is now based on restraining dependence on imported fuel through the development of indigenous energy re- sources. Energy Resources 26. Yugoslavia's main domestic energy resources are lignite, coal and hydro-power. Lignite and coal account for 97 percent of the fossil fuel re- serves (hydrocarbons for the balance). Most of the lignite and coal is of poor quality and is located in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Since trans- portation over long distances is not economic, it is used mainly for power and steam generation. Hydro-power resources amount to about 60,000 million kWh/years, 70 percent of which are located in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia- Herzegovina. About 2.5 percent of total Yugoslav energy resources are proven, recoverable natural gas and oil reserves. Most of the gas lies in Vojvodina and the oil in Croatia and possibly off-shore in the Adriatic. Preliminary surveys suggest that some 36,500 tons of uranium concentrate could be recovered from an area of 170,000 km2 with suitable geological formations. The most promising deposits 1.ie in Slovenia. Demand and Suplv 27. After a period of relative stagnation, overall energy consumption -increased rapidly from 1967 to 1973 at an average rate of 8.2 percent per annur.1 compared with a-n average GNP increase of 6.4 percent per annum. During the same period the structure of demand changed considerably and coal, which -9- had been traditionally the predominant fuel, was surpassed by oil. This was due primarily to the development of a modern industrial sector and to the rapid growth of road transportation. In 1973 oil consumption accounted for over 40 percent of the total demand compared with 28 percent in 1967. The industrial and transportation sectors account for 84 percent of total demand for oil products. Oil and gas consumption in power generation has always been and will remain marginal, as most of the projected increase in capacity will be based on the use of domestic coal and hydro-power. 28. Domestic oil production which, in 1973 amounted to about 3.3 mil- lion tons, has not kept pace with demand and Yugoslavia has to rely in- creasingly on imports to supply its six domestic refineries (Rijeka, Sisak, Bosanski Brod, Novi Sad, Pancevo, and Lendava). In 1973 oil imports ac- counted for 70 percent of total internal demand for refined products. Hither- to, the USSR has been the main foreign supplier of oil. However, in recent years, Yugoslavia has been importing increasingly from the Middle East (Iraq, Iran). Russian crude is imported through the Danube by barge, while Middle East crude is imported through Adriatic ports and transported by rail to the refineries of Sisak and Bosanski Brod. 29. Since Yugoslavia is a large importer of crude oil, it was seriously affected by the oil crisis although the problem was more one of prices than availability. Because of the poor quality of domestic coal, the possibility of substituting coal for oil is limited and only minor adjustments could be made in the short-run to reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil. The main steps taken were increases in the price of refined oil products and the creation of an equalization fund to align the price of domestic crude with world market prices; as a result, the increase in the consumption of oil slowed down to 6 percent per annum in 1974 compared to 7.7 percent in 1973. 30. Before the oil crisis it was expected that total energy demand would continue to grow rapidly and would increase 3.5 times between 1973 and 1990. Similarly it was expected that oil demand would continue to grow faster than overall demand and would be satisfied primarily by imports, since domestic oil production was not expected to meet more than 9 percent of the total energy demand. By 1990 it was confidently expected that hydrocarbons would account for more than 51 percent of total energy demand. 31. Following the oil crisis these projections were lowered. Prelim- inary studies show that total energy consumption will increase by only 3 times over the next 15 years reaching about 83 million tons of oil equivalent by 1990. Hydrocarbon demand will grow at the same pace as total demand. However the volume of oil imports in 1990 will be almost identical to that projected previously because the previous projections were based on rapid growth in the use of natural gas which is not likely to materialize since recent evaluations of domestic fields have been disappointing. Furthermore the previous projections for domestic oil production were over-optimistic. It is now estimated that domestic production will start declining after 1985 reaching 5 million tons in 1990 instead of 8 million as previously projected. - 10 - 32. Based on these projections it is now considered that imports of crude oil will increase from about 7.9 million tons in 1975 to 28 million tons in 1990, at average rates per annum declining from 11 percent between 1975 and 1980, to 8 percent and 7 percent between 1980 and 1985, and 1985 and 1990, respectively. Most of this oil will be imported from the Middle East through Adriatic ports and transported overland to the inland refineries. Sectoral Organization 33. The Yugoslav system of decentralized economic management does not facilitate coordination between the various Republics and Provinces. Further- more it is not yet clear how the emergence of self-managing communities of interest in the power sub-sector, responsible for all aspects of the supply and demand for power, will affect the situation. However there has been a determined effort at closer coordination within the energy sector as a whole over the last two years, encouraged by the Bank and by the changing interna- tional oil situation. 34. In 1974, following discussions with all the Republican and Provin- cial governments, the Federal Executive Council issued a document entitled "The Basis of Common Policy for Long-Term Development of Yugoslavia". A Federal Committee on Energy and Industry (FCEI) was set up with responsibility for coordinating the planning and implementation of energy programs. These developments are evidence of the governments' desire to create a more rational framework for development within the sector. Under the aegies of the FCEI, studies have been carried out which will form an integral part of the next Five-Year Plan, currently in the final stages of preparation. The main ele- ments of energy policy over the next few years emerging from these studies are that Yugoslavia should limit its dependence on imported fuels and develop domestic sources to the maximum extent possible, that coal should be used in preference to hydrocarbons whenever feasible, and that national energy re- sources should be safeguarded in a manner consistent with maintaining the nation's overall economic growth. It is too early to assess how well these policies will meet the country's needs. But the substantial reductions in the level of demand projections already made through the elimination of dup- lication in individual enterprises' development plans, suggest that better coordination should prove beneficial. The proposed project, in which three enterprises normally in competition are cooperating together, is a reflection of this trend. Pri,oes 35. Energy pricing policy is presently under review. The problem of aligning domestic oil prices with those of imported oil has been solved through the mechanism of the equalization fund and an increase in the price of refined products. Gas producers are seeking comparable increases in gas prices. However, given the serious attempts to keep inflation under control, the authorities have been reluctant to increase the prices of other sources of energy. 36. In spite of Yugoslavia's relatively low dependence on imported oil, increases in the price of oil are bound to affect the government's efforts to improve the external payments position. In 1973 oil imports amounted to US$259 million, or 6 percent of commodity imports. For 1974 oil import pay- ments were of the order of US$900 million, at an average c.i.f. price of US$100 per metric ton (US$13 per barrel), equivalent to about 13 percent of imports of goods and services. The impact on the balance of payments has been to contribute to a substantial current account deficit in 1974, which will continue in later years, instead of the surpluses Yugoslavia has recent- ly enjoyed. 37. The Bank's main involvement in the field of energy thus far has been the four loans made to the power sector, where the emphasis has been on high priority generation projects and on extending the national grid. The Bank has also made one previous loan in the pipeline subsector, for the Naftagas project (Loan 916-YU of June 25, 1973), which provides for the facilities to transmit natural gas from Vojvodina, and later from Hungary, to industrial consumers in Vojvodina and Serbia (see Annex II). A Bank sector mission currently in the field is reviewing with the Yugoslav authorities their proposals for the development of the energy sector. PART IV - THE PROJECT 38. As their main source of crude oil has shifted from Russia to the Middle East, Yugoslavia and some of her eastern neighbors have long been con- sidering the most suitable means of bringing Middle Eastern crude, presently transported by rail from various Yugoslav ports, to the refineries. It became apparent that a pipeline system connecting an Adriatic port of entry with Yugoslavia's five inland 1/ refineries, and those of her neighbors, would be economic. The Bank helped to determine the most favorable pipeline system within the context of a transport sector survey in 1971. Subsequently, in July 1973, the three leading oil and gas enterprises in Yugoslavia - INA, Energoinvest and Naftagas - formed a consortium which later became known as Jugoslavenski Naftovod, to carry out the project. The Yugoslav government asked the Bank to participate in the financing of the project in order to facilitate the raising of other external finance on reasonable terms. A feasibility study was carried out by INA Engineering, a Yugoslav concern, and a UK firm of consultants. The project was prepared in 1974 and appraised in January, 1975. Negotiations were held in Washington in July, 1975. The Yugoslav Delegation, which was led by Mr. Juraj Kontent, Legal Advisor, Naftovod consisted of representatives from the Federal Government and Naftovod. 1/ The sixth, at Rijeka, is at seaboard and would not be served by the pipeline. Project Description 39. The project, which is summarized in Annex III and described in detail in the report "Appraisal of the Yugoslav Oil Pipeline" (Report No. 886-YU dated October 7, 1975), would consist of the construction of an oil port at Omisaij, just south of Rijeka, 736 'mi of pipeline, storage tanks, pump stations, a control system,-, sundry equipment anrd engineering services. It would provide overland oil transoortatior facjiAties -with a capacity to pump by 1979 20 mil- lion tons of oil annually, ircluding 6.6 million tons in transit to refineries in Huungary and Czechoslovakia. The project would be the main part of Naftovod's invest.Tlent program! desigred to handle bulk oil transport through 1990. The balance of the program would consist of increasing the port, storage and pump- ing facilities sufficiently to enable the system to handle the ultimate capa- city of 34 m-illion tons by 1990, including 10 rmiillion tons in transit. The project would only cover construction within Yugoslavia. It would be carried out in two stages. Stage I would comprise the facilities to transport 16 mil- lion tons of petroleum per year and would be completed by 1978. Stage II would bring the total capacity up to 20 million tons by 1979. The ultimate expansion of the pipeline system, and terminal facilities to handle 34 million tons an- nually by 1990 (Stage III) is not included in this project. 40. Naftovod used computer simulation models to optimize the size of the pipeline and tanker terminal.. The methodology used was satisfactory and led to reduction in the diameter of the Sisak-Slobodnica section of the line and in tankage capacity. Naftovod, however, has decided to maintain the diameter of the first section (Omisalj-Sisak) at 36" for which the study shows the optimum size to be 34". The main reason behind this decision is that transit traffic might increase in the future (discussions have taken place with Austria), and that it would be difficult to increase the capacity of the first section of the line to satisfy additional transit requirements, since it crosses difficult mountainous terrain. In the light of the comparatively small difference in initial :lnvestment costs (less than US$3 million, i.e. 0.75% of the total project cost) this decision is acceptable. Implementation 41. The project would be implemented by Naftovod, a new enterprise set up to construct and operate the pipeline, which would transport crude oil from the ocean terminal to the off-takers. While still involved in construc- tion Naftovod would, in accordance with Yugoslav practice, have its internal affairs ruled by a governing body appointed by Naftovod and its founders. 14her. the pipelIne starts o?e.:at_.ng, the council would be replaced by the no!rmal Wor er- .ouncil, e:ected by t;h. staf-f of the enterprise. From the ouatset there wti` ne a business com-mittee made up of six founders' represen- -at4ves plUs >>Naftovod"s gcerne-al -ange r, to advise .Naftovod's management on policy matters. Nearly ha>: of Naftovod's p-resent establishment of about .00 people has been recruited. There is an ample reservoir of experience in p:peline constrcucttion an, cna a:TiOn and Naftovod should not encounter any par- Zi cuar difILcuity ir bri`g- ±y S staff up o strength. However the project wou,l` Drov`dtc -or train-n;. -a sreclal skills like instrumentation and oil dis- v,atching, .o begin no later t:han May 31, /977. (Section 3.04). - 13 - 42. Under agreements already signed Naftovod will incur penalties if it fails to start deliveries to both domestic and foreign refineries by May 31, 1978. The construction schedule for Stage I is geared to completion by this date. This schedule is very tight, and Naftovod has undertaken to make every effort to meet it. However, should any unforeseen development make this im- possible, Naftovod has agreed to seek the agreement of the five Yugoslav refineries (owned by its Founders) to postpone the start of oil deliveries to them, as well as take all measures within its powers to minimize construction delays, so as to meet its commitments to deliver to the foreign offtakers (Section 3.11). Acquisition of all land and access to land required for the project has been approved in principle by the communes or other local authori- ties concerned, and Naftovod will complete arrangements for final purchase or access as required to permit construction to proceed on schedule (Section 3.09). Delays in finalizing land acquisition should not occur, since this project has been formally designated a project of national importance by the Assembly of the Federal Republic, thereby giving Naftovod the right to expropriate any land that it could not otherwise acquire on reasonable terms. 43. Overall engineering responsibility has been assigned to Industro- projekt, a local engineering consulting enterprise, assisted by French con- sultants, who would be responsible for designs, tender preparation, coordina- tion and supervision. (Section 3.02). Competent inspection agencies would be employed to ensure that the pipe provided by Kuwaiti and Czechoslovak mills, meets acceptable standards (Section 3.03) (see para. 47 below). 44. The port facilities financed under the project would be operated by the Rijeka Port Enterprise in accordance with an agreement to be entered into by May, 1977 between Naftovod and the Port (Section 3.06). The refineries would arrange for the supplies of crude oil. Project Costs and Financing 45. The project would cost US$377 million, including local taxes (US$15.7 million) and contingencies amounting to nearly 40 percent of basic project costs. Price contingencies account for the major share (72 percent) of the contingency allowances; physical contingencies account for the balance (28 percent). Both allowances are in accordance with Bank Guidelines and are considered adequate. The foreign exchange component would be US$193.2 million, or 51 percent of total costs. Interest during construction on all loans but Kuwait's and the Bank's proposed loan will accrue, but will not be payable until operations start; interest will be paid during construction on the Kuwait and Bank loans, and US$23 million is included for this purpose in the financing plan. - 14 - 46. The terms and conditions of the financing for the project would be as follows: US$ (Million) Interest Rate Grace Repayment Local Foreign Annual % Period Period (1) IBRD 49.0 8.50 4.0 14 (2) Kuwait 125.0 8.50 4.0 8 (3) Hungary 25.0 8.25 3.0 6 (4) Czechoslovakia 25.0 8.25 3.0 6 (5) Libya 70.0 9.00 3.0 7 (6) Founders 26.5 - 6.0 25 (7) Petroleum Fund 59.0 2.00 3.0 15 (8) Local Banks 20.5 12.00 3.5 7 Total $106.0 /1 $294.0 /1 Grand Total $400 /1 /1 Includes interest during construction on Kuwaiti and Bank loans. The proposed Bank loan of $49 million would cover 13 percent of total project costs, or 25 percent of foreign exchange costs, and would be for a period of 18 years, including 4 years of grace. The loan would cover the foreign ex- change costs of construction services (save for the stretch of pipeline from Sisak to the Hungarian border which Czechoslovakia would finance and construct), consulting services, and the procurement of two tugs and oil loading arms. Bank financing would be spread over the construction period in parallel with that of other foreign lenders. There would be a small amount, not exceeding $500,000, of retroactive financing of consultants' services dating from May 1, 1975. 47. All the financing for the project has been secured. Agreements with Czechoslovakia and Hungary were signed last December and with the Libyan Arab Foreign Bank in June 1975. A protocol agreement has been signed with the Kuwaiti Government and detailed negotiations have been completed with the Kuwait Foreign Trading, Contracting and Investment Company. The loan from Kuwait would include the supply of 58,000 tons of pipe equivalent in value to about 33 percent of the loan. Similarly the Czechoslovakian loan would be in the form of 28 inch pipe and construction services for the stretch of pipeline from Sisak to the Hungarian border. The loans from Hungary and Libya would be straightforward financial participations. All local funds for the project have been secured. Since the participation of all the financing agencies is crucial to the proj- ect, Naftovod has agreed that effectiveness of all financing agreements would be a condition of effectiveness of the Bank loan (Section 7.01(a)). 48. Kuwaiti and Libyan participation is linked to the Bank's appraisal and continued involvement in the project. The proposed loan will enable the Bank to play a part in ensuring that sound engineering standards are main- tained throughout construction. 49. The agreements between Naftovod and its founders, the owners of the five refineries, provide for annual revisions of Naftovod's tariffs to take account of operating costs plus a surplus equal to 25 percent of its gross salaries. These measures should guarantee Naftovod substantial annual operat- ing surpluses rising from $0.13 million in 1978 to $12.6 million by 1988, after all expenditures, including debt service, are met. Naftovod has agreed that it would not amend the offtakers' contracts on matters relating to capacities and tariffs, without prior consultation with the Bank (Section 3.10). The agreements with Czechoslovakia and Hungary provide for tariff charges indexed t o the price of steel, labor and electricity and should enable Naftovod to make a net surplus on transit totalling $85 million over the period 1978-1988 which would be transferred to the refineries. 50. Naftovod has entered into take-or-pay agreements with the future offtakers which provide that the offtakers would pay 80 percent of the tariff f or any allocated capacity not utilized; likewise Naftovod would pay 80 percent of the tariff for any agreed amount of oil that it fails to deliver. The take- or-pay clauses are voided by events of "force majeure" qualified, in the case o f the agreements with the Founders, as events lasting more than six months. Temporary shutdowns of the pipeline lasting a few days should pose no finan- cial threat to Naftovod, and a total shutdown for periods exceeding a few days is extremely unlikely. However, to guard against the possibility that a major hazard like a fire or landslide might close the pipeline for up to six months, or that project completion might be delayed, Naftovod has obtained guarantees from the two local banks that are participating in the financing of the project to meet these financial commitments in case of need, other than the debt serv- ice obligations on the Bank loan (Recital (R)(v)). The latter is of course guaranteed by the Federal Republic. 51. Should cost overruns occur in the project, they will be covered in two ways. First, the Founders have agreed to finance all cost over-runs, and appropriate amendment of the Founders' and the Founders-Naftovod Agreements is a condition of effectiveness of the proposed loan (Section 7.01(b). Second, the local banks will provide for cost over-runs in proportion to their parti- cipation in the project. These two arrangements will ensure that cost over- runs, if any, will not aggravate the already tight implementation schedule. 52. The Federal authorities have agreed to finance on a grant basis the initial supply of crude oil to fill the pipeline and storage tanks included in the Project (Section 2.02, Guarantee Agreement). Audit 53. Agreement has been reached that Naftovod's accounts for the year 1979 onwards would be audited by the Social Accounting Service in accordance with the procedures now common to most recent Bank projects (Section 5.02). - 16 - Procurement 54. Procurement under the loan would be by international competitive bidding in accordance with the Bank Group's `Guidelines for Procurement". Exceptions would be: (a) construction contracts not exceeding US$100,000 pro- vided that in the aggregate they do not exceed US$1 million, would be let by local shopping, and (b) construction contracts over US$100,000, but not exceeding US$500,000, provided that in the aggregate they do not exceed US$9 million, would be let after local competitive bidding. These exceptions are appropriate because the works concerned are geographically dispersed and the amounts involved too small to interest foreign firms. The construction costs to be financed by the loan would exclude all construction materials and equipment and the'related transportation cost (if imported), since these are to be financed by other foreign loans. Yugoslavia has no preference treaties, and bids for the tugs and loading arms would be compared on a CIF basis net of customs duties; a preference of 15 percent of the CIF Price, or the actual customs duties, whichever is lower, would be given to local manufacturers. 55. In view of the specialized nature of the work and the tight proj- ect schedule Naftovod agreed to prequalify construction contractors under the Bank's Guidelines for Procurement. The Bank would thus assist Naftovod in screening contractors, particularly evaluating the capacity of local con- tractors who might be fully occupied in other oil and gas pipeline projects being undertaken in Yugoslavia and hence might require the cooperation of international contractors. Local contractors are competent to construct the port facilities, pump stations, tanks and some of the pipelines; the most probable outcome of the bidding would be a mix of local contractors and joint ventures between foreign and local firms. 56. The Kuwaiti and Czechoslovak loans would together involve the supply of some 73,000 tons of pipe. It is important that the pipe be made according to internationally-recognized standards and supplied in accordance with the project schedule. Naftovod has provided the Bank with an engineering report prepared by consultants establishing that the mills in question can supply good quality pipe, but raising some question as to whether the mills can supply the pipe in time to meet the construction schedule. Any delay in the delivery schedule will, however, be detected in time for Naftovod to obtain supplies from alternative sources. Naftovod has also agreed to select and hire competent inspection agencies to inspect the pipe at the mills (Section 3.03). Disbursements 57. Loar. d'isbursemTents would cover the foreign exchange costs of the foreign consultants, the foreign exchange costs of construction contracts with foreign firmis or 25 pe-rcent of the total cost of local construction contractors, and the total .oreign exchange costs of two tugs and loading arms for two berths if procuired abroad or 75 percent of their total cost if procured locally. Disbursements are exDected to take place over a four-year period frof,, the fourth quarter of 1975 to the fourth quarter of 1979. Rate of Return 58. The comparison of the project cost and that of the next best alter- native, a combination of rail and inland waterways, shows that the rate of discount which would equalize both cost streams over 20 years would be 50 percent. This high rate of return indicates that the facilities should have been built sooner. If oil imports were lower than forecast so that the traf- fic in 1990 were only 35 percent of the projections (a conservative assump- tion), the pipeline would still be the least cost solution for the transport of oil, and the rate of discount which would equalize both cost streams over 20 years would be in excess of 43 percent. 59. The benefits derived from the project would be savings in transpor- tation costs which are estimated at about 1 percent of the average sales price of oil products. During construction, the pipeline would provide em- ployment to some 2,000 persons while during operations some 350 staff would be employed. The increase in the transport of refined oil products and other cargo resulting from normal growth of the economy would, in a short time, make up any temporary slack created by the pipeline in the railways and the few local waterways carriers involved. Environment 60. The land in which the pipe would be buried would be restored to its normal use. The pipe would be laid deeply enough to avoid interference with land cultivation, highway and railway crossings, natural drainage, and animal migration. Under the aegis of a UNDP Study Group for "Protection of Human Environment in the Yugoslav Adriatic Region", environmental impact studies are being carried out by various consultants. The Guarantor and Naftovod have separately agreed to implement the measures recommended to, inter alia, contain oil spills, receive slops from tankers and purify all effluents from the installations (Section 3.05 (Loan Agreement) and Section 3.03 (Guarantee Agreement)). PART V - LEGAL INSTRUMENTS AND AUTHORITY 61. The draft Loan Agreement between the Bank and Jugoslavenski Naftovod, the draft Guarantee Agreement between the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Bank, the Report of the Committee provided for in Arti- cle III, Section 4 (iii) of the Articles of Agreement and the text of a draft resolution approving the above loan, are being distributed to the Executive Directors separately. 62. Special conditions of effectiveness of the proposed loan were noted in Paragraphs 47 (effectiveness of all other financing agreements - Section 7.01(a)), and 51 (provision for financing cost overruns - Section 7.01(b)). - 18 - 63. I am satisfied that the proposed loan would comply with the Articles of Agreement of the Bank. PART VI - RECOMMENDATIONS 64. I recommend that the Executive Directors approve the proposed loan.

PROJECTS IN EXECUTION 1/ Loan 531 Belgrade-Bar Railway: US$50.0 million Loan of March 22, 1968; Closing Date: December 31, 1975. Tlhe completion of this project was originally scheduled for 1973 but geo-technical and other construction difficulties in mountainous terrain are expected to delay operation of the line at least until 1976. The Closing Date will be adjusted when the final completion date is known. As a result of inflation and cost overruns, the total project cost has increased from $225.5 million to $350.0 million. Supplementary finance has been made avail- able from Yugoslav sources. 1/ These notes are designed to inform the Executive Directors regarding the progress of projects in execution, and in particular to report any problems which are being encountered, and the action being taken to remedy them. They should be read in this sense, and with understanding that they do not purport to present a balanced evaluation of strengths and weaknesses in project execution. ANNEX II Page 3 Loan 657 Telecommunications: US$40.0 million Loan of February 20, 1970; Closing Date: December 31 1975 After initial delays the Bank-financed part of the project is pro- ceedirg satisfactorily and is now nearing completion. The installation of trunk exchanges which are not financed by the Bank, has been delayed and will be fully completed by 1976. At that time the full benefit of the proj- ect will be realized. The loan amount is likely to be fully disbursed at the closing date. The finances of the Telecommunications Branches of the YPTTEs are sound. Loan 678 Fourth HIighway: USS40.0 million Loan of May 28, 1970; Closing Date: December 31, 1975. After an initial delav of about one year in starting work on the Sarajevo-Zenica section because of difficulties in acquiring the right-of-wav, and delays due to inclement weather in 1974, work on this section has been proceeding satisfactorily and it is expected to be completed by November 1975. All other road sections are open for traffic. The Closing Date has been post- poned from June 30, 1974 to December 31, 1975. Loan 751 Fifth Highway: USS35.0 million Loan of June 18, 1971; Closing Date: September 1, 1976. After an initial delav of about eight months in fulfilling the conditions for effectiveness of the loan, construction work on all sections has progressed well. All road sections but one are open for traffic. Com- pletion of the remaining section has been delayed due to lack of funds. While costs have increased, future earmarked revenues from fuel taxes, par- ticularly on purchases of fuel by Italian motorists crossing the border to buy cheaper fuel in Yugoslavia, have decreased. The final section is now expected to be completed by September, 1977. Loan 752 Bernardin Tourism: US$10.0 million Loan of June 18, 1971; Closing Date; June_30, 1976. There have been delays in implementation. of the project due to delays in making the loan effective, appointing consultants, providing the necessarv infrastructure and approvals by local authorities. As a result disbursements are behind schedule. Bids received in July 1974 indicated that the project, if it were to he implemented as originally envisaged (2,50() beds) would cost- approximatelv 100 percent above the originally estimated cost of US$25.6 mlion. This increa.se was mainly (lue to rapi(d inflatlon in constrtic- tion costs. ihe 3ank and the project sponsors have agreedI to finance a ro- ducecl complex ccntaining somc@ 1,616 beds (Amendment to Loan 752-YU, December 16, 1974, R74-258). The total cost would be US$39.9 million requiring addi- tional financing of about US$14 million. Financing for the revised project has been agreed upon and formal commitments are expected to be entered into in due course. Construction has begun and the execution of the port hotel and vacation village is progressing satisfactorily; however, serious construc- tion problems with regard to the foundations have been encountered in the case of the cliff hotel, the complecion of which has been delayed for at least a further sLx months. A"NNEX II Page 4 Loan 777 Ibar Multipurpose Water: US$45.0 million Loan of June 30, 1971; Closing Date: December 31, 1976. The start of project work was delayed for one year. However, con- struction is now underway with the main dam scheduled for completion by late 1976 and the irrigation networks in 1977. Project costs are currently esti- mated to be about 19 percent above the appraisal estimate. Additional funds are being provided by the Province of Kosovo. Disbursements are proceeding in line with the revised schedule. Arrangements for land consolidation and agricultural extension services have been delayed although discussions are underway with consultants to carry out necessary studies. Loan 782 Babin Kuk Tour4sm: US$20.0 million Loan of July 21, 1971; Closing Date: July 31, 1976. There have been delays in the implementation of the project due to delays in making the loan effective and in mobilizing consultants. According- ly disbursements are behind schedule. Although these problems have now been largely resolved, the project is almost two years behind schedule. Bids for civil works and estimates for other components indicated that the project would cost at least twice as much as originally estimated (US$49.9 million). This increase is largely due to rapid inflation in construction costs. The Bank and the project sponsors have agreed to finance a reduced complex con- taining some 2,034 beds. The total cost would be US$51.5 million requiring additional financing of about US$1.6 million. This additional financing for the revised project has been arranged but in light of the increased financial commitments necessary from the local banks and a re-evaluation of the finan- cial capabilities of the sponsor necessary to implement a project of this size, the local banks and the Borrower have proposed and are discussing with the Bank a change in sponsorship. This proposed change in sponsorship will be submitted to the Executive Directors for their consideration after being fully reviewed by the Bank. Meanwhile, construction has begun and is proceeding well with tenders for fixed and moveable equipment and furniture having been invited. Loan 836 Power Transmission: US$75.0 million Loan of June 23, 1972; Closing Date: June 30, 1977. Project execution began about one year behind schedule mainly because of coordination difficulties and inherent delays in reaching agree- ment among 12 borrowers. (This is the first attempt at countrywide coordina- tion In the sector). All main contracts have been awarded and construction is proceeding satisfactorily; however, the cost of the project has increased 84 percent from $225 million to $415 million chiefly due to escalation in overall costs, including both civil works and equipment. The cost overrun is expected to be financed from funds from the Federal Republic of Germany and the borrowers' own resources. Action on appointment of Management consultants to help improve planning operation and management of the inter-connected power system is still pending. To ensure a more even distribution of disbursements over the construction period, the Bank as of July 1975 has been only disbursing on foreign expenditures. Early difficulties with reporting, changes in the organization of the sector, and determination of the financial performance of individual borrowers have largely been resolved. ATNNEX II Page 5 Loan 894 Agricultural Industries (Macedonia): US$31 million Loan of May 25, 1973; Closing Date: December 31, 1978. Forty-two of the expected 43 social sector subloans, and 41 private sector subloans (81 percent of the amount allocated) have been approved by the lending institution. Private sector demand for subloans already exceeds fi- nancing available under the project. Eight social sector sub-projects have been completed and twentv-nine are under construction. Progress is being made on the three studies encompassed by the project. Loan 916 Naftagas Pipeline: USS59.4 million Loan of June 25, 1973; Closing Date: June 30 1977. This loan became effective on March 22, 1974, after about four months' delay. Bids received on pines and equipment exceeded appraisal es- timates and civil works costs have increased so that project costs are now about 93 percent above the appraisal estimate. Accordingly the project has been redefined. Phase I is a reduced version of the original plan. Phase II would provide for a pipeline extension to link up with the pipeline to be constructed under the proposed Sarajevo Air Pollution Control Project, for which supplementary Bank financing will be proposed. Naftagas will obtain additional local currency financing required for Phase I and II. Final agreement on the revised project is expected shortly. Loan 947 Kikinda Iron Foundry: US$14.5 million Loan of November 30, 1973; Closing Date: March 31, 1978. This loan was declared effective on Mav 28, 1974 after four months delay, which was primarily due to the extra time required for the ratification of the Guarantee Agreement bv the Federal Assembly. Project implementation is about four months ahead of schedule. Total project costs now are about 13 percent (Din. 79.0 million, about US$4.6 million equivalent) above appraisal estimates due to large increases in local costs. Financing of this cost over- run has been arranged with a local bank. Loan 966 FOB Iron Foundry: US$15.0 million Loan of February 22, 1974; Closing Date: December 31, 1977. This loan became effective on May 28, 1974. Project implementation is proceeding on schedule. Local costs are about 50 percent (Din. 173 million, about US$10.0 million equivalent) above appraisal estimates due to design changes and domestic inflation. Financing of this local cost overrun has been arranged with a local bank. Loan 965 IMIT Tractor Factor Expansion: US$18.5 million Loan of February 22, 1974; Closing Date: December 31 1 977. This loan became effective on June 11, 1974. Project irmplementation is proceeding satisfactorily and disbursements are underway. Due to delays ANN EX I-L Page 6 in obtaining import permits, the project is now expected to be completed two months behind schedule. Local costs are about 7 percent (Din. 97 million, about US$5.6 million equivalent) above appraisal estimates due to domestic inflation. Financing of this local cost overrun has been arranged with a local bank. Loan 990 Sixth Highway: USS30.0 million Loan of Mav 31, 1974; Closing Date: December 31, 1977. This loan was declared effective on December 10, 1974. Two out of six road sections are nearly complete and work on other sections has progressed considerably. One of the road sections is being executed on an alignment different from that agreed with the Bank and the borrower has submitted a request for inclusion of the alignment in the project. This request is being reviewed. Loan 1012 Macedonia/Kosovo Industrial Credit: US$28.0 million Loan of June 21, 1974; Closing date: December 31, 1978. This loan was declared effective on December 19, 1974. Progress has been satisfactory, and it is currently expected to be fully committed by the end of 1975 and disbursed by mid-1977, a year or more ahead of appraisal estimates. The reasons are: use of Bank funds to finance a greater than anticipated proportion of the foreign exchange requirements of projects financed by the banks, due to the suitability of Bank funds for investors' projects and the overall scarcity of investment resources in Yugoslavia; and the banks' ability to adapt quickly to the methodology proposed by IBRD for appraisal of projects submitted for Bank financing. Loan 1013 Bosnia Herzegovina/Montenegro Industrial Credit: US$22.0 million Loan of June 21, 1974; Closing date: December 31, 1978. The note under Loan 1012 above applies also to this loan. Loan 1026 Fourth Railway: US$93 million Loan of July 10, 1974; Closing Date: December 31, 1977. This loan was declared effective on February 12, 1975 and disburse- ments have begun. The project consists of the 1974-76 slice of the railways' investment plans. About 40 percent of investments planned for 1974 have been delayed, due principally to lack of finance and late deliveries by suppliers. Nevertheless, there has been substantial progress on Bank-financed investments in the Belgrade and Zagreb railway enterprises and all railway enterprises expect to complete those investments by the end of 1976 as planned, except for some delay in the Sarajevo railway enterprise. ANNEX II Page 7 Loan 1060 Port of Bar: USS44.0 million Loan of December 11, 1974; Closing Date: June 30, 1978. This loan was declared effective on June 13, 1975. In general the Project is progressing well, but settlement of compensation to occupiers of expropriated land and construction of alternative housing must be accelerated to enable the construction of the railway marshalling yards serving the new port facilities in due time. The Bank contacted the Government of the Republic of Montenegro which is actively intervening in this matter. Loan 1066 Dubrovnik Water Supply and Wastewater: US$6 million Loan of December 24, 1974; Closing Date: This Loan was declared effective on June 26, 1975. Loan 1129 Agricultural Credit: US$31.0 million Loan of June 20, 1975; Closing Date: December 31, 1979. Terminal date for declaring effectiveness is November 17, 1975. Loan 1136 Buk Bijela Hydropower: US$70.0 million Loan of June 30, 1975; Closing Date: December 31, 1981. Terminal date for declaring effectiveness is December 1, 1975. Loan 1143 Seventh Highway: US$40.0 million Loan of July 18, 1975; Closing Date: June 30, 1979. Terminal date for declaring effectiveness is November 17, 1975. ANNEX III Page 1 YUGOSLAVIA: OIL PIPELINE PROJECT Loan and Project Summary Borrower: Jugoslavenski Naftovod Poduzece za Transport Nafte u Osnivanju, Rijeka (Yugoslav Oil Pipeline Enterprise). Guarantor: The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Amount: US$49 million equivalent in various currencies. Terms: Amortization in 18 years, including a 4 year grace period, with interest of 8-1/2 percent. Project The project would provide an oil receiving port and over- Description: land transport of crude oil by pipeline to five inland refineries and to Hungary and Czechoslovakia. On com- pletion, the installations would have a capacity of 20 million tons annually. (a) The Port facilities would comprise: (i) two marine Berths and related equipment capable of handling ships from 30,000 dwt to 350,000 dwt, (ii) two 2,000 hp tugs and several launches, and (iii) one 612,000 ton oil storage tank farm.

Exceptions would be: (a) construction contracts not exceeding US$100,000 provided that in the aggregate they do not exceed US$1 million, and (b) construction con- tracts with an estimated value more than US$100,000, but, not exceeding US$500,000, provided that in the aggregate they do not exceed US$9 million. The construction costs to be financed by the loan would exclude all project materials and the overseas transport thereof, if imported. Local contractors are competent to construct the port facilities, pump stations, tanks and some of the pipelines and, depending on their commitments, are likely to bid for these contracts.
