Diplo Internet Governance Community
Stay networked. Get informed. Broadcast your projects.
CSOs, businesses and governments in non EU countries on the South and East of Europe are rather passive in IG discussions. Why does this happen? Lack of awareness? Lack of interest? What could be done about this? What is needed - education or propagation?

After spending nearly 2 years in Serbia, as a ordinary citizen I can notice increased use of Web for various commercial, governmental and political purposes. It is interesting to notice that conveying a message via the Internet web sites is becoming more popular. After a year or so what has pleased me that a lot of governmental actions broadcasted to public included statements or some functionality on the web. Also a number of everyday services based on web access, being technical (like getting information about your cell usage), communal (reports on works or getting information about state of some action even on a personal level by using ID cards), financial (postal and regular online banking) is increasing by the day. As it seems web is becoming a publishing line of choice as well as everyday tool to conduct business or get informed.
Recent proliferation of wireless modems (using Internet over cell network) brought internet to homes that has not been covered by other means.
Opening of free Internet parks (public WiFi network in couple of green areas of Belgrade) was refreshing move last summer. Seen many people sitting on benches and having laptops - mainly students.
More and more cafe's I notice advertising free WiFi spots. There are many places you can go for coffee, bring your laptop or WiFi enabled smartphone and while enjoying your favorite drink you can also spend some time on Internet for free courtesy of establishment.
With this development I am getting confident that sooner or later as number of users increase Internet issues will become more known and/or appreciated.
I am happy to learn that Belgrade will host EuroDIG next year. Looking forward to that.
