Exports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); Imposition of Foreign Policy Controls

Reacting to the use of excessive force by Serbian police forces against civilians in Kosovo, as well as acts of violence by the Kosovar Albanian extremists and fulfilling United States obligations to implement an international arms embargo mandated by the United Nations Security Council, the United States has banned the sale and supply of arms and related materiel of all types to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). To supplement the State Department controls on items on the U.S. Munitions List, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is designating certain items on the Commerce Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and establishing a policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) on such items. No embargoed items may be exported to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) under any License Exception, including shipments of limited value (LVS). In addition, this rule makes certain editorial revisions to the Export Administration Regulations relating to embargoes and other special controls.
