To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to trace the assets of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under the control of Serbia and to ensure that these are returned on an equitable basis to the successor nations. [50349]

None. It is for the five successor States to resolve questions of succession to assets and liabilities of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Negotiations continue under the auspices of the High Representatives special negotiator, Sir Arthur Watts, whose fees we cover.
