GLOBAL STEEL HOLDINGS LOOKING AT MONTENEGRO 
 
-------------------------------------------

MITTAL, VISITED MONTENEGRO JANUARY 24.  HE DISCUSSED POSSIBLE 
INVESTMENTS IN THE ENERGY AND TOURISM SECTORS, AS WELL AS 
OPERATIONS AT THE PORT OF BAR. THE GOM IS SEEKING TO PRIVATIZE 
THE PORT OF BAR. 
 
 
 
STEADY TOURISM GROWTH EXPECTED 
 
------------------------------ 
 
 
 
10. TOURISM MINISTER NENEZIC HAS PREDICTED AN EIGHT PERCENT 
INCREASE IN TOURISM INCOME IN 2007, TO EUROS 350 MILLION. THE 
NUMBER OF TOURISTS IS EXPECTED TO RISE TO 1.1 MILLION. TOURISM

PUBLIC ECONOMY: 
 
 
 
RESTITUTION BURDEN EXAMINED 
 
--------------------------- 
 
 
 
11. FINANCE MINISTER LUKSIC ESTIMATED THAT THE GOM IS POSSIBLY 
FACING AN 800 MILLION EURO LIABILITY (MORE THAN THE ANNUAL GOM 
BUDGET) STEMMING FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS TO PAY ON RESTITUTION 
BONDS GRANTED TO FORMER LANDOWNERS WHOSE PROPERTY WAS SEIZED 
AFTER WW2 BY THE TITO GOVERNMENT. THE GOM IS THEREFORE 
CONSIDERING A CAP OF 20 PERCENT ON THE VALUE OF BONDS PRESENTED 
TO GOVERNMENT FOR COLLECTION. THAT WOULD REDUCE THEIR 
LIABILITIES TO A MANAGEABLE 200 MILLION EUROS, AND YET STILL 
PROVIDE MORE COMPENSATION THAN NEIGHBORING STATES, WHICH CAPPED 
BONDS AT 10 PERCENT. LUKSIC BELIEVES THAT THE CAP, MOTIVATED BY 
GOM DISCUSSIONS WITH THE IMF, WILL NOT DISADVANTAGE CLAIMANTS 
WITH WHOM THE GOM HAS ALREADY SETTLED. (REF A)

----------------- 
 
 
 
12. ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL MONTENEGRO STATISTICS BUREAU

WAS EUROS 377, NET EUROS 250. NOMINAL WAGE GROWTH WAS 15 
PERCENT, AND REAL WAGE GROWTH WAS 12 PERCENT, REFLECTING A THREE

DECEMBER WAS EUROS 281. THE FOODBASKET FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR WAS

UNDER EUROS 2 BILLION AT THE END OF JANUARY 2007).
