“Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout”

King Lear was defiant against the wind, be it light or hurricane. It seems now that a storm is gathering, and that the countries of Centrope will have to think about shouting defiantly to the rampaging economic elements.

Our countries have been hit variously. I haven’t been following all that closely, I must admit, but it seems Hungary has taken a particularly bad hit so far. Slovenia and Croatia, meanwhile, have only started to feel the strength of this storm, and Croatian political leaders (at least) are doing their best to bury their heads in the sand, hoping, like children, that if they only close their eyes the crisis will not see them and will somehow pass by without noticing our little country. Unfortunately, that’s not very likely. The ruling party hopes, at least, that the worst will not come before local elections scheduled for early May. After that – que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.
So what about ICT? What about innovation in this stormy weather?
