§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether normal mail services to and from Serbia have been restored; and, if not, whether they will use their best endeavours to achieve this end. [HL70]
§ Baroness Scotland of AsthalRoyal Mail resumed normal surface and airmail services with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) on 2 August.
Recorded, Registered and Swiftair services remain suspended for the present. But Royal Mail intend to resume these services also, once they are confident that the internal postal system in the FRY is able to handle such items securely and swiftly.
Parcelforce Worldwide hope to resume services shortly.
Mail from Serbia and Montenegro is a matter for the Serbian authorities. However, with UNMIK (UN Mission in Kosovo) assistance, postal services within Kosovo resumed on 1 August.
