Bearing in mind the acknowledgement by the Security Council in its Resolution 1022 (1995) of the desirability of a consensual solution to outstanding succession issues,
Confirming the decision reached on 10 April 2001 concerning the distribution of the former SFRY's assets held at the Bank for International Settlements (the text of which decision is appended to this Agreement),

(2) Paragraph (1) of this Article does not apply to tangible movable State property of great importance to the cultural heritage of one of the successor States and which originated from the territory of that State, such as: works of art; manuscripts, books and other objects of artistic, historical or archaeological interest to that State; and scientific collections and important collections of books or archives which shall pass to that State. Such property shall be identified by the successor State concerned as soon as possible, but not later than 2 years after the entry into force of this Agreement.
(3) If SFRY State tangible movable property (other than military property) which has passed to one of the successor States in accordance with paragraph (1) of this Article, has been removed without authorisation, from its territory by another successor State, the latter state shall ensure its return as soon as possible or pay full compensation for such removal.
Article 4
(1) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of Article 3 of this Annex, tangible movable State property of the SFRY which formed part of the military property of that State shall be the subject of special arrangements to be agreed among the successor States concerned.
(2) In relation to tangible movable and immovable property of the former Yugoslav National Army used for civilian purposes the arrangements referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article will acknowledge the relevance of Articles 2 (1) and 3 (1) of this Annex.
Article 5
(1) A Joint Committee on Succession to Movable and Immovable Property shall be established by the successor States, which shall ensure the proper implementation of the provisions of this Annex applicable to tangible movable and immovable property (other than military property) and the resolution of any problems which might arise in the course of their application.
(2) The Joint Committee shall commence its work within 3 months of the signature of this Agreement.
Article 6
It shall be for the successor State on whose territory immovable and tangible movable property is situated to determine, for the purposes of this Annex, whether that property was State property of the SFRY in accordance with international law.
Article 7
Where pursuant to this Annex property passes to one of the successor States, its title to and rights in respect of that property shall be treated as having arisen on the date on which it proclaimed independence, and any other successor State's title to and rights in respect of the property shall be treated as extinguished from that date.
Article 8
(1) Where tangible movable and immovable State property of the SFRY passes to a successor State in accordance with Articles 1 to 3 of this Annex, that property shall not be subject to valuation for the purposes of this Agreement, and no compensation shall be payable in respect of the passing of that property to the successor State in question.
(2) However, should any successor State consider that the application of Articles 1 to 3 of this Annex result in a significantly unequal distribution of SFRY State property (other than military property) among the successor States, that State may raise the matter in the Joint Committee established pursuant to Article 5 of this Annex. The Joint Committee, acting unanimously, may take such action as it considers appropriate in the circumstances.
Article 9
The provisions of this Annex are without prejudice to the provisions of Annexes B and D concerning diplomatic and consular properties, and archives.

Bosnia and Herzegovina London (Embassy) Croatia Paris (Embassy) Macedonia Paris (Consulate General) Slovenia Washington (Embassy) Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Paris (Residence)

Article 2
(1) SFRY diplomatic and consular properties shall be distributed in kind (i.e. as properties) rather than by way of monetary payments.
(2) In that distribution, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia, are receiving a greater share than they would receive under the IMF key, or any other more favourable criterion for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia for the distribution of such properties.
Article 3
Diplomatic and consular properties other than those acquired by States in accordance with Article 1 of this Annex shall be distributed in such a way that the total and final distribution in kind of diplomatic and consular properties (including those acquired in accordance with Article 1) reflects as closely as possible the following proportions by value for each State:
Bosnia and Herzegovina 15% Croatia 23.5% Macedonia 8% Slovenia 14% Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 39.5%
Article 4
(1) SFRY diplomatic and consular properties are set out in the list appended to this Annex. That list groups properties according to their geographical regions. Each successor State shall, within each geographical region, be entitled to its proportionate share as set out in Article 3.
(2) The distribution of properties shall be by agreement between the 5 States. To the extent that agreement on the distribution of properties cannot be reached, the successor States shall adopt a procedure whereby any property selected by only one State will be acquired by that State, and where two or more States have selected the same property, those States will consult together as to which of them will acquire that property.
(3) The basis for the proportionate distribution of properties is the valuation in the «Report dated 31 December 1992 on the valuation of the assets and liabilities of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as at 31 December 1990.»
(4) Movable State property of the SFRY which forms part of the contents of diplomatic or consular properties shall pass to whichever successor State acquires the diplomatic or consular properties in question.

Article 5
The successor States shall establish a Joint Committee composed of an equal number of representatives from each State to ensure the effective implementation of Articles 3 and 4 of this Annex. The functions of the Joint Committee shall include:
(a) verifying and as necessary amending the List referred to in Article 4 (1);
(b) assessing the legal status of each property, its physical condition, and any financial liabilities attaching to it; and
(c) considering the valuation of property as the need arises.
Article 6
The Joint Committee shall commence its work on a provisional basis within 3 months of the date of signature of this Agreement.
Article 7
Whichever successor State is in a position to maintain and keep under repair any diplomatic or consular properties of the SFRY shall take the necessary steps to that end, bearing in mind in particular
(a) the principle that it must at all times take the necessary measures to prevent loss or damage to or destruction of such properties, and
(b) the requirement to pay compensation for any loss, damage or destruction resulting from failure to take such action.

Article 1
The SFRY's financial assets comprised all financial assets of the SFRY (such as cash, gold and other precious metals, deposit accounts, and securities), including in particular -
(a) accounts and other financial assets in the name of the SFRY Federal Government Departments and Agencies;
(b) accounts and other financial assets in the name of the National Bank of Yugoslavia;
(c) foreign currency assets, including holdings of gold and other precious metals, of the SFRY or the National Bank of Yugoslavia;
(d) sums due to the National Bank of Yugoslavia from banks in other countries resulting from uncompleted inter-bank clearing arrangements; such countries include, but are not limited to, those listed in Appendix 2 of this Annex.
(e) financial quotas and drawing rights of the SFRY, the National Bank of Yugoslavia or other federal organs or institutions in international financial organisations, as well as financial assets held with such organisations.
(f) other assets of the SFRY, including amounts due to the National Bank of Yugoslavia or the SFRY from obligors other than those included in (a) — (e) above.
Article 2
(1)(a) The SFRY's financial liabilities comprised (subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) of this Article) the debts of the SFRY, debts guaranteed by the SFRY and financial claims against the SFRY, and consisted principally of -
(i) the external debt of the SFRY to official creditors and the International Financial Institutions;
(ii) the external debt of the SFRY to commercial creditors;
(iii) sums payable by the National Bank of Yugoslavia to banks in other countries resulting from uncompleted inter-bank clearing arrangements. Such countries include, but are not limited to, those listed in Appendix 2 to this Annex;
(iv) external debt of the SFRY to creditors other than those listed in (i) — (iii), above.
(b) External debt in (i) — (iv) above is described as allocated debt if the final beneficiary of the debt is located on the territory of a specific successor State or group of successor States. Allocated debt is not subject to succession and shall be accepted by the successor State on the territory of which the final beneficiary is located.
(c) Liabilities of the SFRY, National Bank of Yugoslavia or other federal institutions towards international financial organisations are included under the external debt of the SFRY.
(2) The financial liabilities to be taken into account pursuant to paragraph (1) of this Article do not include the financial liabilities of the SFRY under the Agreement concluded between the SFRY and Italy on 18 February 1983 on the Final Settlement of Reciprocal Obligations.
(3) Other financial liabilities include:
(a) guarantees by the SFRY or its National Bank of Yugoslavia of hard currency savings deposited in a commercial bank and any of its branches in any successor State before the date on which it proclaimed independence; and
(b) guarantees by the SFRY of savings deposited before certain dates with the Post Office Savings Bank at its branches in any of the Republics of the SFRY.
Article 3
(1) A major portion of the assets and liabilities of the SFRY have already in practice been distributed on the basis of agreements between the successor States or agreements between them individually and the institutions concerned, namely:
(a) the SFRY's share of the assets and liabilities of the International Monetary Fund;
(b) shares of the World Bank and its affiliated institutions held by the SFRY;
(c) liabilities of the SFRY to the World Bank;
(d) shares of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the African Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank held by the SFRY;
(e) the SFRY's debts to the European Investment Bank;
(f) the gold and other reserves and shares of the Bank for International Settlements, Basle held by the SFRY;
(g) guarantees by the SFRY of savings deposited before certain dates with the Post Office Savings Bank and its branches;
(h) that part of the SFRY's external official debt to members of the so-called «Paris Club» which has been assumed by certain of the successor States in proportions fixed in agreements between each of them and «Paris Club» members;
(i) that part of the SFRY's external commercial debt to banks (the so-called «London Club») under the New Financial Agreement 1988 which has been assumed by certain of the successor States in proportions fixed in agreements between each of them and the «London Club» members.
(2) In regard to sub-paragraph (h) and (i) of paragraph (1) above, four of the five successor States have concluded agreements with the «Paris Club» and «London Club» creditors. The remaining successor State, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, will assume responsibility for all of its allocated debt to «Paris Club» and «London Club» creditors and its share of the unallocated debt to such creditors. This is expected to resolve the remaining «Paris Club» and «London Club» claims against the SFRY. It is impossible to predict the outcome of this resolution at the present time, but the resolution of «Paris Club» and «London Club» claims by the FRY will, as between the successor States, conclude the resolution of their obligations to the «Paris Club» and the «London Club». The successor States shall terminate any existing legal proceedings or financial claims against each other in relation to «Paris Club» and «London Club» obligations upon the signature of this Agreement, and shall not institute any other such legal proceedings or financial claims in the future, whatever the outcome of the resolution by the FRY of «Paris Club» and «London Club» claims.
(3) The distributions referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article are final and shall not be reopened by any of the successor States in the context of succession issues.
Article 4
Distributions of assets on a net basis include:
(a) the SFRY's ownership of a 27% share of the capital of the Yugoslav Bank for International Economic Cooperation, as it existed prior to its conversion to a commercial bank, which shall be distributed among the States according to the proportions agreed to in Article 5(2); and
(b) the net amount due to the National Bank of Yugoslavia from banks in other countries resulting from uncompleted inter-bank clearing arrangements, which shall be tabulated and distributed according to the proportions agreed to in Article 5(2). Such countries include, but are not limited to, those listed in Appendix 2 to this Annex.
Article 5
(1) Foreign financial assets (such as cash, gold and other precious metals, deposit accounts and securities), whether held by the SFRY or the National Bank of Yugoslavia directly or with foreign banks, Yugoslav joint venture banks and agencies of Yugoslav banks abroad include the following:
(i) monetary gold (271,642.769 oz.) valued on 31 March 2001 at 70.18 million USD;
(ii) foreign exchange accounts held at foreign commercial banks and valued on 31 March 2001 at 307.61 million USD;
(iii) foreign exchange accounts held at SFRY joint venture banks abroad and valued on 31 March 2001 at 645.55 million USD; and
(iv) gold (1209.78 oz.) formerly held by the France-UK-USA Gold Commission, valued on 22 May 2001 at 343.76 thousand USD.
(2) The available foreign financial assets identified in paragraph (1) of this Article shall be distributed according to the following proportions, which shall be applied to items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) separately:
Bosnia and Herzegovina 15.50% Croatia 23.00% Macedonia 7.50% Slovenia 16.00% Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 38.00%
(3) If currently unknown foreign financial assets are found to exist within five years, they shall be distributed as soon as possible on the proportionate basis set out in paragraph (2) of this Article, and using the mechanism described in Article 6.
Article 6
Each successor State shall appoint a representative of the Central Bank or an other authorised representative to form a Committee, which shall meet within 30 days of the signature of this Agreement to arrange the modalities for the initial distributions identified in Article 5 of this Annex. Their objective will be to effect any distributions of assets as quickly as possible. In addition they will arrange jointly to verify, settle and effect distributions under Article 4 of this Annex. They will also make arrangements to distribute to the extent possible assets under Article 1 (f) and liabilities under Article 2 (1) (a) (iv) of this Annex according to the proportions agreed to in Article 5 (2). The Committee will also prepare a definitive list of all SFRY external debt.
Article 7
Guarantees by the SFRY or its NBY of hard currency savings deposited in a commercial bank and any of its branches in any successor State before the date on which it proclaimed its independence shall be negotiated without delay taking into account in particular the necessity of protecting the hard currency savings of individuals. This negotiation shall take place under the auspices of The Bank for International Settlements.
Article 8
(1) The return to successor States of their contributions to the Federal Fund for development of the less developed Republics and Kosovo, the payment of outstanding contributions due by successor States to the Fund, and the repayment of credits given to those States by the Fund, are cancelled.
(2) The financial liabilities of the SFRY under the Agreement concluded between the SFRY and Italy on February 18, 1983 on the Final Settlement of Reciprocal Obligations shall be distributed to the successor States that are beneficiaries of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement with Italy, concluded in 1955 between SFRY and the Republic of Italy, about local commerce between areas Gorizia-Udine and Sezana-Nova Gorica-Tolmin (Gorica Agreement) as well as between SFRY and the Republic of Italy for the border areas of Trieste on one side and Buje, Koper, Sezana on the other side (Trieste Agreement), together with the related payment arrangements, are excluded from the provisions of this paragraph. The issues related to the Trieste Agreement will be dealt with by Croatia and Slovenia. The issues related to the Gorica Agreement will be dealt with by the Republic of Slovenia only.
Article 9
In connection with the distributions agreed in the preceding Articles of this Annex the successor States have concluded the Disclosure Authorisation appended to this Annex, and shall to the extent that they have not already done so:
(a) allow free access to and provide copies of such records and data requested by any successor State as are in its possession and relate to the SFRY's financial assets and liabilities. Accounts of the National Bank of Yugoslavia opened after the date on which UN sanctions were first imposed are not subject to this disclosure requirement.
(b) exchange information on those accounts and financial assets held by banks in third States and belonging to connected persons (as defined by the authorities which in those States regulate the banking business).
Article 10
Each successor State has introduced a new currency and established its monetary independence. As such, no successor State shall pursue financial claims or legal proceedings against any other successor State related to the introduction of its new currency or the establishment of its monetary independence.
DISCLOSURE AUTHORISATION TO CENTRAL BANKS AND/OR RESPONSIBLE MINISTRIES REGARDING DATA ON FINANCIAL AND OTHER ASSETS OF THE SFRY HELD BY THIRD COUNTRY CENTRAL BANKS AND/OR OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The five Delegations participating in the discussions and negotiations to resolve issues of succession arising upon the break-up of the SFRY, and working toward the prompt distribution of the assets of the SFRY among the successor States within the framework of the agreement concluded between them in Vienna on May 25, 2001, have agreed that data on bank deposits, holdings of securities, or other types of financial assets of the National Bank of Yugoslavia (NBY), as well as other assets of the SFRY referred to in UN Security Council Resolution No. 1022 (collectively, the Frozen Accounts), held by foreign banks, foreign financial institutions or other foreign entities as they stood on 31 May 2001 should be made available to each of the successor States. To that end they hereby authorize Central Banks, responsible Ministries and/or other financial institutions to provide financial data in regard to Frozen Accounts to the Central Bank and Ministry of Finance of each successor State upon receipt of a request for such data made by the Central Bank of any successor State. Such data may include, but is not limited to, details regarding the composition and value of Frozen Deposit accounts in banks, financial institutions, and other entities on their territory or subject to their regulation, control, or administration.
In addition to supplying information for 31 May 2001, banks are requested to comply with subsequent requests for information on SFRY Frozen Accounts from any of the undersigned successor States.
If necessary to secure release of financial data in regard to Frozen Accounts, the National Bank of Yugoslavia (NBY) shall issue the authorizations necessary to permit disclosure of this information to the Central Banks and Ministries of Finance of the successor States. If required, such authorization shall include the name and address of the foreign bank, the account number, and any other information needed to identify the account.
No legal proceedings will be commenced by any successor State on the basis of financial data disclosed as a result of the foregoing arrangements.
This authorization takes effect on today's date, and is witnessed by the Special Negotiator for Succession Issues of the SFRY in the Office of the High Representative, Sir Arthur Watts.
