Abstract
The Southeast Europe Cooperative Initiative (SECI) was viewed by many at its inception at the end of 1996 as a rather insignificant attempt to knit together countries that throughout history had not gotten along particularly well. This brainchild of Ambassador Richard Schifter looked puny if compared to the multi-billion dollar effort to repair the huge damage to the region caused by the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, which only ended with the Dayton Peace Accords at the end of 1995. From the assistance perspective, the bulk of the funding for SECI came from the United States, but its budget never exceeded 4 million USD a year.
