The interpretation of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter has been the elephant in the room, or more accurately the chamber of the Council, since the bitter divisions over the 'revival argument' and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.1 Although there has been some evidence of an increase in the specificity of UNSC resolutions in an effort to avoid the same difficulties reoccurring,2 the margin of appreciation provided to States in interpreting the mandates provided to them has recently come into focus again.

The rapid foreign credit growth has been one of the main drivers of growth in
Serbia in recent years. As growth has accelerated, the Serbian economy has
become burdened with considerable external imbalances and current account
deficits. As a result of the growing debt financing of the external deficit,
the foreign debt rose to 22.7 billion EUR in late December 2009. Since the
gains from privatization in the 2008-2010 period are not means of servicing
the loans that could be counted on in the long run, the issue of sustaining
the existing dynamics of paying off the foreign loan has been brought into
question. International financial organizations have an important role in
Serbia?s economic development and convergence with the European Union. Its
resources have been mainly focused on spurring economic growth and promoting
the policies that stimulate foreign direct investment and create employment,
restructuring and ownership change in the enterprise sector.
