South Eastern Europe (SEE) is a varied region containing a population of about 56 million which has experienced significant civil conflict, political upheaval and economic transition over recent years. This situation has led to an increase in the factors that can lead to the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Whilst there is a reported low prevalence of the disease in the region overall, this is generally thought to underestimate its regional prevalence. This report provides an overview of the situation and the policy responses to the problem in the SEE region up to January 2002. The report contains country reports on Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the province of Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania and Slovenia.
