"This is the first agreement of its kind with a major European development bank, and marks a big step forward in the effort to bring more development funding into the picture when it comes to providing solutions for refugees and displaced persons," UNHCR spokesman Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva on 15 March, one day after the deal was finalised.
«Ovo je prvi sporazum te vrste sa velikom evropskom razvojnom bankom i predstavlja veliki korak napred u nastojanjima da se stavi veći naglasak na razvojna sredstva kada je u pitanju pronalaženje rešenja za izbeglice i raseljena lica», izjavio je novinarima portparol UNHCR-a Rupert Kolvil u Ženevi 15. marta, dan nakon što je sporazum finaliziran.
