64. Project implementation has picked up during the last three months and relevant implementation structures have been set up. However, this mainly applies to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as the Republika Srpska has to a certain extent been overlooked by the international community and has itself tended to continue its somewhat reluctant attitude towards cooperation with the international donor community. Some positive development has, however, taken place in the Republika Srpska as the respective authorities agreed in the summer to sign three subsidiary loan agreements with the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina on World Bank projects, thus opening the door for participation in these programmes.
65. According to the latest statistics, from donor commitments for 1996 add up to US$ 1,520 million. The total amount under different stages of implementation is $880 million, of which $558 million has been disbursed. The FBiH territory has received 82% of the total assistance efforts under implementation efforts, while 17% represent activities of an inter-entity nature.
Only 1% of the total activities are under implementation of Republika Srpska. Even in the FBiH , the assistance efforts have so far concentrated on few areas, where only two cantons and Sarajevo have received two thirds of the total.
