The deciding factor in the choice of Serbia and Montenegro was<br>the size and level of organization of the diaspora in Switzerland. The study was conducted by the<br>Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies (SFM) of the University of Neuch\u00e2tel, the<br>International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and<br>Development (EBRD) and is intended to shed light on the volume of money transfers from<br>Switzerland to Serbia, the costs and risks of money transfers and the channels used. At the<br>receiving end the study examined the question of what the remittances are used for and what<br>influence they have on economic growth as a whole as well as in individual recipient households.<br>Finally, the study also examined whether, from a legal perspective, there are impediments to<br>transferring remittances to Serbia and whether possibilities exist to increase the involvement of<br>remittance recipients in the Serbian financial sector.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s): State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO Source: https:\/\/ub-sachdokpdf.ub.unibas.ch\/sachdok\/2011\/BAU_1_5666480.pdf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[169,136,15,176,380,122,632,249,194,26],"class_list":["post-38521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economics","tag-169","tag-diasporas","tag-economic-impact","tag-economic-integration","tag-household","tag-migrants","tag-remittances","tag-report","tag-serbia","tag-transnationalism"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38521"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38522,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38521\/revisions\/38522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
