Serbia's central bank said it sold 15 million euro ($16.7 million) to commercial banks on Friday to support the dinar currency.

The official exchange rate for Monday was set at 117.6300 dinars per euro, the central bank said in a statement after the intervention that aimed to alleviate the excessive volatility of the dinar exchange rate.
