ESCE IN SERBIA "WINDOWS 2001"

Dopo la... prima edizione - del 1999, che aveva ispirato una serie di
cartoline sarcastiche dedicate ai bombardamenti, raccolte anche in un
sito internet (ora apparentemente oscurato: http://www.windows99.org.yu)
- la Microsoft di Bill Gates sfonda finalmente, per davvero, in Serbia,
offrendosi di modernizzare l'amministrazione dello Stato con i suoi
mediocri prodotti e con i suoi ben noti virus informatici.


MICROSOFT IS COMING TO SERBIA, SAYS DJINDJIC
BELGRADE, Aug 7 (Beta)-The U.S. company Microsoft will soon open an
office in Belgrade, which will help to develop information technology in
Yugoslavia and enable Yugoslav companies to work on the Microsoft
platform.
This agreement was reached by representatives of Microsoft and the
Serbian government.
The secretary of the Serbian government's Information and Internet
Development Agency, Branislav Andjelic, told BETA in a phone
conversation, that this office should be opened between October 2001 and
January 2002.
Andjelic added that they also agreed that Microsoft should support at
least two projects of modernizing the Serbian state administration.
Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic and the Agency's Secretary Andjelic
talked with Microsoft's president Steven Belmore and the company's
founder Bill Gates at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond.

DJINDJIC: MICROSOFT BELIEVES IN SERBIA
BEOGRAD, Aug 9 (Free Serbia) - Microsoft will open a branch office in
Belgrade by the end of the year. The US company will provide a
10-million-dollar grant for the education system in Serbia and aid
modernization of the Serbian government's infrastructure by introducing
new ITs, said Serbian PM Zoran Djindjic after talking with Microsoft
chairman Steve Balmer and founder Bill Gates.
The Serbian PM said he was confident that cooperation with Microsoft
would encourage other investors to take interest in the Serbian market,
since the US company is known in the world of business for careful
market analyses.
Stressing that Microsoft profits in Serbia are almost zero at the
moment, while their business strategy was to establish themselves in a
country only after their profits exceed 2 million dollars a year,
Djindjic said Microsoft's decision to open an office in Belgrade had a
political background, but also called it a gesture of trust in
government estimates that the decision would be good for business in a
few years.

KOSTUNICA MEETS COMPUTER GIANTS
BELGRADE, June 7 (FoNet/AFP) Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica met Microsoft Chairman for Europe Michel Lacombe today
following announcements that the computer giant would advise Belgrade on
technological development.
A statement from the office of the president said that Lacombe
confirmed Microsoft's interest in the long-term development of
corporate cooperation with Yugoslavia.
Kostunica said he hoped that new legislation would soon be adopted
to bring the country into line the world's technological standards.
Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic had announced earlier that
Microsoft would in the future advise Yugoslav and Serbian governments
on the introduction of technology into the health, education, customs
and tax systems. "I hope both sides will benefit from this cooperation,"
Djindjic said, announcing also that Microsoft would soon be opening
offices in Belgrade.

MICROSOFT TO ADVISE SERBIA ON IT
BELGRADE, June 7 (FoNet) Microsoft has today signed up to serve
in a consultancy role to the Serbian government on the issue of
introducing new computer technologies.
Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic said that today's agreement
"won't be commercial in character for the time being".
