IMCs in Central & Eastern Europe:

"approval" means a site has followed guidelines at NewImcHowTo and been discussed and proposed at http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/new-imc, and then proposed at http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-process.

The order within each category here is chronological, maybe it should be alphabetical later on.

Slovakia - local Roma human rights activist network

Not quite indymedia, but probably would be interested - it's clear they're doing fundamental grassroots human rights activism (they are hierarchical, though). It seems that the forming IMC Slovakia collective is in good contact with them:

Resistance against NATO and militarism in Slovenia

On November 21 and 22 (2002), the NATO-summit will take place in Prague. As the preparation and mobilisation for the protests and actions in Prague are in full swing, active resistance is growing also in Slovenia, one of the candidate states for NATO membership. From 7th to 10th November demonstrations and actions against NATO and for peace will take place in Ljubljana. Some background information, description of resistance activities, and a call for support.

the Erased of Slovenia

Not yet indymedia, but some sort of independent media...

• http://www.idfa.nl/idfa_en_filmdescription.asp?filmid=18888 When Slovenia became independent in 1991 and parted from former Yugoslavia, Todorovic and more than 18,000 other citizens of non-Slovenian origin were erased from all official documents. This number is officially recognised by the state, but the Helsinki Watch estimates that it is actually much higher \x96 somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000.

Bosnia? Serbo-Croatian language?

http://internal.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=334 31. SERBO-CROATIA?? From: "Dejan Nikic" dejann at home.com To: Subject: Serbo-Croatian IMC

Hi, I just received an email from SH-IMC mailing list and people were wondering if there is some kind of Serbo-Croat IMC structure. Also someone said that is up to the people of former Yugoslavia to make it. I'm currently in Seattle, WA but I'm originally form Sarajevo, Bosnia. I would like to set up a Serbo-Croat IMC structure, but I really don't know what to do exactly. I'm a network admin and web designer so I can create WebPages or whatever needed for this project. If you could give me some kind of outline on how to start this and what to do and also who to contact. Thnx.

South Eastern Europe Social Forum

If the South Eastern Europe Social Forum and the European Consulta really exist, then they would be a good place to contact people likely to participate in Indymedia and make it a truly grassroots, non-hierarchical, independent media collective in the Balkans.
