Southeast European Cooperative Initiative (SECI)
Statement of Purpose

The States listed below at the inaugural meeting of the Southeast European Cooperative Initiative have decided to participate in this important regional initiative aimed to encourage cooperation among the countries of the region and facilitate the access of Southeast Europe to European integration. Having agreed to this Statement of Purpose, the states listed below hereby create the Southeast European Cooperative Initiative (SECI). SECI shall be a forum in which representatives of the participating states meeting to discuss common regional economic and environmental problems calling for concerted action and shall take into account region-wide plans for dealing with these problems. Meetings of representatives shall be followed promptly by the convening of ad hoc working groups of technical experts, who shall be responsible for the development of concrete proposals.
SECI shall not interfere with existing plans, projects, or initiatives, and shall interact with other initiatives for regional co-operation in southeastern Europe, including those launched by the European Union, by the Sofia Declaration on Good-Neighborly Relations, Stability, Security and Cooperation in the Balkans, the Central European Initiative, and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. It shall seek to complement them by (a) providing for close cooperation among the governments of the region, (b) emphasizing region-wide planning, (c) identifying needed follow-up and missing links, (d) providing for better involvement of the private sector in the regional economic and environmental effort, and (e) helping create a regional climate that encourages the participation of the private sector. SECI shall authorize a High-Level Personality (HLP) to follow up on the decisions taken by the representatives of the participating states and to facilitate the implementation of projects.
The HLP shall assist SECI members to ensure that decisions are effectively implemented. SECI will seek to make arrangements which will allow the HLP to be assisted by the staff of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE). In this regard the HLP shall coordinate closely with the chairman and the Executive Secretary of the ECE. The international financial institutions, the EU, the U.S., and other interested parties would be welcome to assist SECI if they so wish by providing their expertise on an ad hoc basis in relation to individual projects. Further, it is SECI's objective to attract the private sector to participation in SECI activities.
Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Croatia*, Slovenia* (See Annex I).
Annex
Once the governments of Croatia and Slovenia complete the remaining procedures, they shall be able to notify the HLP of adherence to the Statement of Purpose.
As SECI contemplates the participation in the Initiative of all twelve states of the region, an invitation to the initial meeting was extended to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro). That invitation was withdrawn in light of recent developments in the FRY.
The FRY will be invited by the Chairman of the present meeting, following consultations with participating states, to participate in SECI when the reasons for withdrawal of the invitation no loner exist. It continues to be understood that mere participation by the FRY in SECI will not, by itself, remove the outer wall of sanctions, nor change the FRY's ineligibility for assistance arising out of SECI participation.
Additional Statements

The participating states welcome the indication that other states are willing to work with SECI in the effort to achieve its objective. Such states, which shall be known as "supporting states," shall be invited to join in SECI consultations as appropriate.
As members of the UN Economic Commission for Europe, the participating states of SECI request that the ECE provide SECI with technical assistance in helping discharge its tasks, as set forth in its Statement of Purpose.
The participating states of SECI agree to establish an Agenda Committee, whose task it will be to draw up the SECI agenda, determine priorities m and review progress in fulfilment of the SECI goals. Each participating state is invited to appoint to the Agenda Committee a ranking government official involved in the matters encompassed by the SECI statement of purpose. It is hoped that such appointment will be made by December 31, 1996.

The participating states request the OSCE Chairman-in-Office to designate, after appropriate consultation particularly with SECI participating states, the High-Level Personality (HLP) referred to in the Statement of Purpose. Accordingly, the HLP is requested to consult with the Agenda Committee with a view toward convening the Agenda Committee's initial meeting by January 15, 1997. In the interim, until the HLP is designated, the Chair of the present meeting shall perform the tasks of the HLP.
