The LSMS <strong>2007</strong> was commissioned through a joint DFID/World Bank Trust Fund.<br />

Thanks are due to DFID, and in particular to comments and support from Emily Poskett,<br />

Ana Redzic and George McLaughlin. A great deal of managerial and technical support<br />

was provided by the World Bank, both in Washington and Belgrade, and I would like to<br />

thank in particular Salman Zaidi, Andrew Dabalen, Lazar Sestovic and, the late, Carolyn<br />

Jungr. Close working relations were developed with the PRS Focal Point Unit of <strong>Serbia</strong><br />

and thanks are owed to Aleksandra Jovic, Jasmina Kijevcanin, Lars Skari, and more<br />

recently, Zarko Sunderic.<br />

Comments on the questionnaire and helpful contributions were received from Ruslan<br />

Yemtsov (World Bank) Thierry Gontier and Lisa Adams (Handicap International)<br />

Gordana Rajkov (MP) and a wide range of potential data users from NGOs and Ministries<br />

who gave comments both during questionnaire design and report production. Thanks are<br />

also due to Milos Terzan (UNHCR) and Paola Pagliani (UNDP) in their roles in the<br />

project, involving the implementation of an LSMS of Internally Displaced Persons.<br />

I would also like to thank, in particular, all of the supervisors and interviewers that made<br />

the collection of data in the field a success and the data entry operators responsible for<br />

data input.<br />

A special mention goes to the respondents themselves. The time given by them reflects<br />

their understanding of the need to provide policy-makers with a more detailed picture of<br />

the living standard trends in <strong>Serbia</strong>. I am grateful for their time without which this report<br />

would not have existed.<br />
