GOALS
Belgrade, 12 September 2004 – At a meeting this morning with
representatives of the United Nations, HRH Crown Prince Alexander

Serbia and Montenegro. The goals are the result of the September 2000
United Nations Millennium Summit where world leaders agreed to eight
goals essential for sustainable human development.
HRH Crown Prince Alexander warmly received the United Nations
delegation headed by Mr. Francis M. O’Donnel, the United Nations
Resident Coordinator for Serbia and Montenegro, and including
Professor Jerzy Osiatnyski the United Nations Development Program’s
Regional Advocate for the UN’s Millennium Development Goals
initiative, and Mr. Nicholas Hercules advisor in the resident
coordinator’s office in Belgrade and endorsed the MDG initiative. The
Crown Prince offered to work with other national entities to
disseminate information about the MDG initiative to ensure its
successful adoption.
During the meeting Professor Osiatynski, Poland’s former Minister
of Finance and Minister of Economy, provided a brief overview of the
MDSG’s eight goals for combating poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy,
environmental degradation and discrimination against women. The
General Assembly of the United Nations has called upon all Member
States to produce, by the end of 2004, a report on the progress of
adopting the MDG goals on a national level.
The meeting at the Royal Palace was also attended by Professor Dr.
