Belgrade, 13 Jan 2012 – Minister of Economy and Regional Development Nebojsa Ciric today stated that the assistance package for the economy in 2012 is expected to yield similar effects as in 2011 when government measures helped to preserve 40,000 jobs.
Ciric told Tanjug news agency that this year the funds for encouraging domestic and foreign investments in production will be increased by more than RSD 1 billion, which means that almost RSD 5 billion will be earmarked for this purpose.
Our goal was to endorse production activities, primarily in the metals sectors, to keep jobs, maintain the production capacity and facilitate business operations, the Minister stressed.
When railway car producers, such as IMR from Rakovica or others, close a deal, they pull a number of other companies along – small and medium-sized, sometimes even large ones, and all of this together helps the creation of jobs and the production of permanent consumer goods, Ciric explained.
He stressed that the Serbian government’s package of measures is not intended for the services sector, but for the manufacturing sector, which is very important.
Although the government was unable to set aside money for subsidised loans for liquidity and investments in 2012, more than RSD 1 billion will be allocated through the Serbian Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SIEPA) to encourage production investments.
The Serbian government has recognised the importance of investment in production, which will mark the arrival of new technologies and create new jobs, said the Minister, noting that almost all investments are export-oriented.
I think that this will have a positive effect on maintaining the existing and creating new jobs, said Ciric and recalled that investments and contracts signed last year are now being implemented, such as investments by companies Swarovski, Bosch and Cooper Tire.

Adsense and the Surfer
AdSense is a simple program to grasp: it's a terrific form of an advertising bringing plenty of benefits to each individual within the chain. And of course, seeing the results it will probably have on a enterprise (and a writer) folks encourage this type of publicity.
For the shopping viewers that is probably probably the most simple mannequin out there, as a result of they can be directed to a number of new websites they would not have otherwise found. Evidently, you probably have an AdSense banner on your website, and numerous guests you'll realize it offers a fantastic monetary benefit.
However why does it work for the folks clicking the links, as opposed to a normal method?
It is aided by today's society. With bloggers and data based mostly articles on the web, folks may be inspired to complete purchases, which adsense can present hyperlinks to relevant suppliers while additionally benefiting the publisher.
And the good thing about that is that it works for site visitors as well. Actually Google realized that by pleasing the people who are searching for one thing, and directing them to what they want sooner, all people wins.
It's because of this that a variety of web sites promote by means of AdSense in both content and search. They do it as a result of they finally discovered that it works for everyone.
If we look in the past, we can realize that this type of publicity has an awesome influence over the people, particularly in the last few years. Once we enter on a website and we see a graphical banner, our first thought is to cancel it out of our mind, because it is of no concern to us.
That's why traditional banner advertising is wrong. It's precisely as a result of persons are becoming savvy that they don’t have a look at a flashy banner as a result of they think they're going to be shedding their time with it.
We've gotten accustomed to banners that don't interest us. And we're accustomed to them having nice graphics. So we naturally associate the two things and think that a banner with good graphics has nothing to tell us.
But we'd look at a textual content-ad as a result of we have grown accustomed to them being targeted at what we're wanting for. Basically these advertisements have marketed themselves into being checked out by any visitor.
This is a typical "no fluff, just stuff" situation. And in the end it means the guests will see what they're excited about, not some random cool graphics you throw at them.
As stated above, site guests adopt this promoting mechanism, as a result of it's efficient in main them to pages of interest and may offer ton of issues they actually wish to see. Someone coming throughout an article on adsense was most likely on the lookout for footwear or doing research on shoes after they came across the article.
And most importantly for everyone, together with guests, this scheme can solely improve as the process will get further refined to make ads extra relevant to what you are searching for, not just a couple of keywords on a site.
These days, it's because of AdSense that Web surfers are taking care of more interesting related things from banners, and the companies behind the positioning (Google and the advertiser) need to have higher ideas to display, as expectations have elevated an excellent deal.
So could "Do no evil" really work in in the present day's minimize throat aggressive market? Properly, as you possibly can see it will probably and it does. And also you, as a visitor are the one who gets to get pleasure from this the most. Advertising becomes less of a burden and more of a benefit, and is still a profit you'll be able to choose to ignore.
Much less obtrusive banners; banners that you just're truly more likely to be fascinated with and click means you will be less aggravated by surfing the net and really feel such as you as a visitor being provided a related service.
Though some could really feel reluctant to read articles that are there purely to compel customers, undoubtedly with out this consideration they're useful. Finally the adverts mean that you simply don’t have to go back to your homepage each time you're compelled to complete a purchase.

Alternative Energy from the Ocean
The greatest technique of teaching younger people about various vitality manufacturing that this author has ever witnessed is using the PicoTurbine Firm's kits, books, and projects. The PicoTurbine Company produces these items for the purpose of advancing the cause of renewable (alternative) vitality and getting younger individuals to look into the long run and see that the environment that is being seeded now is the one they'll inherit then. As the late, great Gerry Ford said, “Issues are more like they're now than they've ever been before.” If we're to change the future world for the better, then it starts right right here and now with the appearance of “inexperienced” energy systems. Ireland really has the potential to grow to be an power exporter, quite than a nation so closely depending on energy importation. This energy potential resides in Eire's substantial wind, ocean wave, and biomass-producing alternative power potentials. Eire could turn into a provider of ocean wave-produced electrical energy and biomass-fueled power to continental Europe and, as they are saying, “make a killing”. At the present time, Eire is most carefully focused on reaching the purpose where it may well produce 15% of the nation's electricity via wind farms, which the federal government has set as a national objective to be reached by 2010. But universities, research institutes, and government personnel in Eire have been saying that the event of ocean wave vitality expertise could be a true driving pressure for the nation's financial system and one which might greatly assist to make Eire vitality independent. A check site for creating wave ocean energy has been established in Ireland, less than two miles off the coast of An Spideal in County Galway Bay. This experimental ocean wave harnessing website is named “Wavebob”. Essentially the most energetic waves in the world are located off the West coast of Ireland, says Ireland's Marine Institute CEO Dr. Peter Heffernan. The technology to harness the facility of the ocean is just just rising and Eire has the prospect to develop into a market leader on this sector. David Taylor, CEO of the Sustainable Vitality Initiative,or SEI, tells us that SEI is dedicated to innovation in the renewable power sector. Wave energy is a promising new renewable power useful resource which could in the future make a major contribution to Eire's electricity generation mix thereby further lowering our reliance on fossil fuels. Carbon Free's analyses also present that energy corporations themselves have jumped in on the sport and seek to leverage microgeneration to their own benefit for opening up new markets for themselves. Carbon Free cites the instance of electricity firms (in the UK) reporting that they're severely researching and growing ideas for brand spanking new geothermal energy services, as these firms see geothermal vitality production as a extremely profitable wave of the future. One other conclusion of Carbon Free is that photo voltaic energy hot water heating expertise is an efficient expertise for lowering dwelling water heating prices in the long run, though it is initially quite costly to install. Nevertheless, solar power isn't but price-efficient for companies, as they require too much in the way of specialized plumbing to implement photo voltaic power scorching water heating. Lastly, Carbon Free tells us that installing wind generators is an efficient manner of reducing home electricity costs, while additionally being extra independent. Nevertheless, again that is initially a very expensive factor to have installed, and corporations would do effectively to begin slashing their prices on these gadgets or they might discover themselves shedding market share. It is most crucial that the wealthy, big-production nations such as the US, Japan, Western Europe, and others be those to spearhead the effort to get off of the fossil gasoline dependence. Smaller, poorer nations are very merely by no means going to attain the extent of power production by coal and oil that these nations have-for by the point they might be ready to, the cheap access to the fossil fuels will be gone, and they'll never be able to sustain their newly-risen civilizations at the moment as we have now been able to do. The time for transition from black to inexperienced is now.

Your Business versus Mother Nature
Your automotive came with a manufacturing facility put in audio system, right? They're nice sounding, aren’t they? Wait till you see and take heed to an aftermarket setup.
There are a selection of the explanation why an aftermarket automobile audio system will beat manufacturing unit put in methods any day.
Aftermarket automotive audio products...
*They provide far superior performance.
*They offer you wider options.
*They're made by companies which have a fame in automobile audio .
*There are points that aren't attainable otherwise in an audio setup if not as aftermarket options.
*You get to decide on merchandise that suit your particular person taste.
*You get products that worth far much less for comparable vehicle vendor options.
*You get merchandise which can be made by specialized manufacturers.
*You get merchandise which are far more reliable and sensible
That could be a sum of some nice advantages of aftermarket automotive audio methods over OE (Original gear) products. To press house the components, let's use automotive CD changers and radios as examples...
Aftermarket CD Changers, when mixed with a CD changer interface, present a far superior however cheaper different to a vehicle Vendor geared up CD changer. It's as a result of you can pay, on average, $550 to $800 to your automotive vendor for a CD changer that hasn't precisely been constructed using the most reliable and efficiency-producing components. That is due primarily to the large revenue margins that car sellers select to work with.
Aftermarket CD changers are way more reliable, are more functional and provides common increased performance. A really highly effective advantage being that they lastly produce increased sound. Aftermarket CD changers additionally play CD-R and CD/RW burned discs whereas seller geared up CD changers will, sometimes, play CD-R (nevertheless they don't guarantee this) but they won't play CD/RW discs.
Manufacturing unit fitted radios (customary match radios) up to now had relatively low power outputs of about three to five watts RMS. Nonetheless the latest manufacturing unit fitted radios have improved vastly with vitality outputs of up to one hundred Watts. These figures signify 25 Watts, ‘peak’ power per channel x four (this principally means x four audio system). This really interprets to roughly 10 watts RMS x 4 channels, when used for any measurement of time (steady).
Compare this to aftermarket radios (radios manufactured for retail sale), akin to the most effective promoting Alpine, Kenwood, Panasonic and Sony brands, the place the important models start at an affect output of forty five Watts x 4.
Why is a greater power output increased?
Extra power will produce a extra refined sound. Your audio system are moreover higher protected. It's because you presumably can extra easily harm your speakers by underpowering it.
Sounds odd? Here is why...
Whenever you power your amp, it sends sine waves to your speakers. That is efficient and is the case if your amp has the flexibility to simply pump out the ability you count on from it. Nonetheless, once you demand more amount from a relatively much less powerful amplifier, you make it send sq. waves as an alternative of sine waves. Audio system discover these square waves very powerful to handle. The result...
Your speakers get toasted.
Together with an aftermarket radio would provde the revenue of having a detachable safety fascia to take with you in case you go away the car. By the way, all new radios include a robust case to retailer your removable fascia. In case you add an aftermarket CD or CD/MP3 changer, there shall be no seen indicators of a changer having been added so the possibility of theft will keep very low.
The benefits of aftermarket radios do not cease here. You will also expertise improved FM reception, much better design and looks. Add to this the choices to broaden your system when you wish to combine totally different tools akin to CD, MP3 or MD changers and amplifiers, etc. Excessive it up with the financial financial savings you make when shopping for add-on instruments and you will notice the advantages improve dramatically.

Windows XP Revisited - Instructing the Devoted Old Dog Some New Tips
Just lately it appears to be the style amongst writers on the web to check and criticise working systems. Whereas one user talks up the merits of Ubuntu Linux versus Home windows Vista on her weblog, one other is fast to criticise Ubuntu’s lack of person friendly options and out there software. On this article I'm here to sing the praises of the outdated dog Windows XP. Once the all singing all dancing multimedia darling, XP is now the older brother of the a lot youthful and trendier Windows Vista. While Vista might be the life and soul of the occasion, it is still very a lot a problem baby for many users who're pissed off with incompatibilities, poor driver support and degraded performance in multimedia applications and games. If, like me, your Vista expertise wasn't all you hoped it might be, read on as we take one other look at Windows XP and discover that you just really can train an previous dog some new tricks.
Safety

One of many greatest shocks very long time Windows users had to face when upgrading to Vista was the brand new safety measures, specifically Consumer Account Controls. Microsoft's reply to the issue of rampant malware on Home windows machines was a barrage of security checks which can shortly change into daunting. Whereas emulating this function would possibly look like a nasty thought, UAC is a partial answer to a really sticky problem and the choice, allowing malware to proceed to spread unhindered, will not be actually an option. Though you'll be able to't have Vista model consumer account management underneath XP, there are a selection of alternatives. An aggressive firewall product resembling Outpost firewall not solely screens internet traffic but in addition alerts you when applications misbehave or carry out doubtlessly harmful operations. Outpost costs $39.ninety five per yr and features a regularly up to date spyware scanner.
Sudown is much like UAC and allows you to temporarily elevate the privileges on a restricted account to that of an administrator account in an effort to run programs equivalent to installers. Sudown is much less intrusive than UAC but arguably much less secure and less full (it's possible you'll discover that you still should log into the administrators account beneath some conditions). Sudown is a free utility and is accessible from sourceforge.
Home windows Explorer
Windows explorer featured a number of important upgrades in Vista. Dealing with of pictures and multimedia recordsdata was improved and search was fully integrated. “Breadcrumbs” had been launched, this can be a considerably weird identify Microsoft gave to their new windows explorer extension that permits for convenient searching between directories and subdirectories.
When you can't reproduce the Home windows Vista explorer fully, you'll be able to truly go one better. Directory Opus is essentially the most powerful file manager/explorer on the planet and works extremely well with Windows XP. If a bit intimidating at first, most customers will quickly study to appreciate the facility and suppleness this utility offers. Surpassing Vista’s new Windows Explorer in virtually every department and with highly effective picture/multimedia options, Listing Opus really is well worth the learning curve and there are a lot of complete tutorials out there on the web to assist ease new users in. Listing Opus prices around $70 per licence. If you wish to learn more about this excellent utility then begin right here.
Search
Home windows Vista’s built-in desktop search is considered one of my favourite new features in the operating system. Here, XP lags a little behind its younger sibling nevertheless it isn’t an entirely misplaced cause. Many customers do not realise, but Microsoft Desktop Search can be available at no cost for Home windows XP. Whereas it lacks the slick integration with Home windows Explorer, it is still a strong tool. You possibly can download Desktop Search for XP right here.
Looking to actually get organised? Desktop search is good, however many of us have piles of CD-R or DVD-R disks kicking round our workplaces. Wouldn't or not it's nice if there was something that might neatly catalogue all these files too? Properly, there is. The aptly named “WhereIsIt?” is ready to neatly organise and catalogue not solely files on your laborious disk but information stashed away on detachable disks too. WhereIsIt? Is shareware, with the full model costing $39.95 per licence. Enter “WhereIsIt” into Google to seek out out more.
Look and Feel
For these techniques in a position to run it, the new Aero interface in Windows Vista is both quick and beautiful. By comparability, the blues and creams of Windows XP look distinctly last generation. In fact, beauty is just skin deep and what actually matters is functionality. That stated, a little bit extra eye sweet clearly appeals to lots of people, since numerous web-sites and utilities have sprung up for Home windows XP with the sole goal of creating the operating system look better. The top of these utilities is the Object Desktop suite from Stardock. With a number of clicks you'll be able to instantly transform your XP desktops feel and look into any of a whole bunch of visible types obtainable for download from Stardock’s website. Want Aero-like special results on Home windows XP? Object Desktop Window FX can do them and you'll even customise precisely which visible results to use. Want two begin menus? No drawback, with Objectbar you are able to do that too. Need Home windows Dreamscene animated wallpapers? Well sorry, you might be out of luck this time. The worth for all this desktop pimping? $49.95. To search out out more, or obtain a trial model, enter object desktop into Google. All this speak of desktop enhancements brings us nicely on to:-
Sidebar and Widgets
Home windows Vista comes with it’s own sidebar with detachable widgets, however sidebars and widgets are previous information in Windows (and certainly in most other trendy operating programs too). My favourite XP sidebar is the considerably unoriginally named “Desktop Sidebar”. This sidebar is extremely configurable, uncluttered and includes the perfect RSS information reader/ticker out of all the sidebars and widgets I have ever tried. In truth I even run Desktop Sidebar instead of Vistas own sidebar on my Home windows Vista installation. Google seek for “desktop sidebar” to search out out more.
If widgets are you thing then there are currently a number of competing standards. The Open Widget Engine is gaining momentum slowly, with the goal of in the future uniting the efforts of widget makers across the world. Till that day comes, you possibly can select between Google Desktop, Desktop X and Yahoo Widgets. Desktop X is a strong widget engine that's included as part of the Object Desktop suite that I discussed in the Look and Feel section. Yahoo and Google’s respective offerings are free and hence far more popular. Yahoo widgets in all probability contains the perfect collection of widgets out of all of the widget engines available. Once more, do a quick Google search on the program that pursuits you the most to find out more.
Media Centre
Windows XP media centre version has been around for a while now, however an improve to Vista Ultimate or Dwelling Premium offers you full media centre capabilities included within the price. If you're using vanilla XP dwelling or Skilled and you want media centre capabilities, they are available without spending a dime in the form of Media Portal, an open supply and highly configurable media centre application. Also free and value a glance (no less than if you are American) is Yahoo Go For TV. Based on Meedio, which was one of the best business media centre merchandise for Home windows, Go For TV seems to have been left to stagnate since Yahoo took control.

Belgrade, Feb 23, 2008 – Serbian Minister of Education Zoran Loncar said today that all Serbian institutions, including educational institutions, will work regularly in Kosovo-Metohija in order to protect the interests of Serbs in the province.
Addressing the press at an international symposium on religious education being held in the Central Army House of Serbia in Belgrade, Loncar reiterated that Kosovo-Metohija is an integral and inalienable part of Serbian territory and all educational institutions in the province will work normally for Serbs.
He said that during the next few days he will visit several areas in Kosovo-Metohija and meet with teachers, professors and students in order to find ways to ensure that educational activities in the province proceed unhindered, according to the government’s plan for education.
Speaking on continuing the struggle by the state to defend the southern province, the Minister said that Serbia will take all legal measures to return Kosovo-Metohija under its sovereign control.
According to Loncar, the government not only adopted the Decision on the annulment of the illegitimate acts of the provisional institutions of self-government in Kosovo and Metohija on their declaration of unilateral independence, but also the national programme of the Republic of Serbia to be implemented after February 17.
Commenting on the mass national protest against the unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo-Metohija held in Belgrade, Loncar said that peaceful and dignified protests by citizens support the government in its struggle to return Kosovo-Metohija within the legal and constitutional control of Serbia.
Probably these various forms of protest by citizens against the unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo-Metohija will continue during the upcoming period. It is most important that they are dignified and peaceful, said the Minister.
Commenting on the fact that Serbian students were refused entry into the territory of Kosovo-Metohija to join in the protest in Kosovska Mitrovica, he said that this shows the current situation regarding the UNMIK and the Resolution 1244.
According to Loncar, there will be opportunities for all students and Serbian citizens who wish to show their support for the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija to do so at mass protests to be held throughout the country, and by visiting the part of the territory which we call the southern Serbian province.

US should call urgent Security Council session to confirm Resolution 1244
Belgrade, Feb 23, 2008 – Advisor to the Serbian Prime Minister Branislav Ristivojevic said today that the only solution is that the US calls for an urgent Security Council session, and that the decision is made to annul all illegal acts in order to reestablish the principles of international law in the Balkans.
In a statement to the news agency Beta, Ristivojevic said that the only solution which can bring peace and stability in the region at this moment is that the US, whose policies caused crisis in the Balkans, calls for an urgent session of the Security Council to reaffirm the full validation of the Resolution 1244 which guarantees the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia.
He accused the US of supporting gross violation of the UN Charter and the Resolution 1244, and added that by continuing to use force the US is jeopardising peace and stability in the region and the entire international order.
If the US maintains its present stance that the fictitious state of Kosovo exists and that the UN Charter and international law are not applicable to the Balkans, then all responsibility for further events rests upon the US, stressed Ristivojevic.

He stressed that full cooperation of Belgrade with ICTY remains the condition for signing the SAA, which is initialled today, two years after the first round of negotiations on that agreement.
The Serbian Deputy Prime Minister said following the initialling ceremony held in Brussels that Belgrade will make all efforts to ensure that the agreement is signed as soon as possible.

Once political questions are settled we will be able to carry out the process of EU integration at record speed. We have proven our capacity for such work since we managed to conclude negotiations on this agreement within a mere three and a half months whereas other countries needed up to two years, stressed Djelic.
He said that the SAA is the best insurance for domestic and foreign investors, and added that the EU budget for Serbia in 2008 will stand at €190.9 million.

Serbia will be more flexible once unilateral Kosovo independence threats stop
Belgrade, Oct 29, 2007 – Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic announced readiness of Belgrade to be even more flexible in negotiations on the future status of Kosovo-Metohija once there are no more threats of a unilateral proclamation and recognition of independence of the southern Serbian province.
In an interview with daily Blic, Jeremic said that as long as any document put on the table clearly excludes the possibility of unilateral proclamation and recognition of Kosovo’s independence.
He said that he would like a compromise solution to be found by December 10, but doubted it is a realistic aim.
Hence it is of utmost importance to make substantial progress in negotiations to set foundations for the position of the international community that talks need to continue. However, the threat of unilateral moves puts a big burden on the whole process and thus also burdens the chance to find a compromise, Jeremic said.
Commenting on the fact that the troika could come up with another, final document by the end of the negotiating process, he said that Belgrade shall not, under any circumstances, agree to any offer jeopardising and relativising Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia.
He said he believes that compromise is possible, a model which brings together the legitimate requests of Kosovo Albanians for a high degree of self-government with the equally legitimate Belgrade request for the preservation of sovereignty, which is why both sides should talk until a solution is reached.
According to Jeremic, everything else is not a solution but mere rephrasing of the problem in the Balkans and it is now increasingly clear that more international actors are becoming interested in a precedent, such as the province’s independence.
When asked under which conditions Belgrade would agree that an EU mission comes to Kosovo-Metohija, Jeremic recalled that not even during the talks led by Martti Ahtisaari did Belgrade pose amendments to the proposal defining the European presence in the province.
We did not do that because we believe that the EU should have a leading role in administering Kosovo-Metohija after a compromise solution to the status is reached. However, any change in the way the province is administered must be preceded by an appropriate decision by the UN Security Council. We now have Resolution 1244 according to which the UN mission has clear legitimacy to administer the province and this can be changed by a new resolution, explained Jeremic.
He stressed that Brussels and Belgrade advocate the joint policy that EU accession and negotiations on the status of Kosovo-Metohija are two different processes.
Our decision on Kosovo-Metohija must not in any way be related to our decision to join the EU. This is a choice which our country cannot make. No one should put Serbian citizens in a situation of choosing between those two issues. The European road is equally important to Serbia as is the preservation of its territorial wholeness, said Jeremic.

Belgrade, Oct 29, 2007 - Serbian Minister of Finance Mirko Cvetkovic said that the Ministry today proposed that the Socio-Economic Council of the Republic of Serbia adjust salaries in the public sector with inflation next year and not to raise them beyond that rate.
Speaking at a press conference held after the meeting with Council members which dealt with macro economic policy of prices and salaries in the public sector, Cvetkovic said that the Ministry proposed that salaries remain within the pay freeze level, which is in accordance with inflation.
He explained that differentiation will be applied within the public sector, with the aim of harmonising and approximating salaries, and added that Council members agreed that this proposal is a solid base for further talks.
At least two meetings should be held next week with representatives of trade unions.
The Minister said that the reduction of public expenditure within GDP next year will be 1%, and the state budget will participate in public expenditure with less than 0.7%.
Cvetkovic said that the interim surplus in the budget for nine months of this year is RSD 37 billion and added that there is a possibility that this year will end without the planned budgetary deficit.
The reason for that is a reduced level of expenditure, first of all in the field of the National Investment Plan.
