finance the creation of a Special Technical Cooperation Fund

will be the first Special Fund that will be managed by the
bank.
The fund will back the preparation of projects and
will be used by the Black Sea Bank for the appointment of
advisers, who will assist in the drawing up of expediency
studies and operational plans, and the improvement of the
preparation of projects in the Bank's member-states.
The fund is
committed to use Greek advisers by 75%, while up to 25% of the
financing can be used for the appointment of advisers coming
from other Bank member-states or donor countries offering
similar technical cooperation resources to the Bank.
