Hi dear people,
I hope you are all well, which is not an easy task nowadays.
Situation is Serbia related to Covid 19 is quite absurd. We have plenty of all the vaccines existing at the moment (Chinese, Russian, Pfizer, Astra Zeneca), and so far about 1 million of people are vaccinated at the moment. But, the problem is that there is a quite a lot of population unwilling to take the vaccine. As vaccines have an expiry date, the government is doing a pro-vaccination campaign which is not giving much results. In order to use the vaccines before expiry date, Serbian government has offered vaccine to neighbouring countries citizens. So, now we have people from Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia ecc. coming to Serbia to take the vaccine. As strange as the whole situation is, at least it is building the bridges and solidarity between the countries in the Balcans region.
Related to our project, I´m quite unsecure related to the decision of implementing the project in this year. I have a feeling that we are all leaning towards the decision of implementing the project in 2022. And as much as i see, Federico, you are also very unsecure of having the youth exchange in Italy at the present moment. Also, as the vaccination hasn´t started yet seriously in Italy and EU countries, the whole thing of having the youth exchange this summer, brings a lot of possible and unnecessary risk for the participants.The only thing which I´m sure about is having a project team preparatory meeting this year in order to maintain the dynamics and spirit of the project.
Related to the situation in Polekol, some of the Polekol members are splitting up. Precisely, me and one of my colleagues are forming a new organisation. We currrently in the process of the registration of the new organisation. The new organisation will step in the Deep-T project instead of Polekol. The decision we have made is based on differences between some members of the Polekol on topic of the strategical development of the Polekol as an organisation. We concluded that some of us see very different these questions. Therefore, we have made the decision to split up among in order to be able to pursue our different paths. I would like to emphasize that we have made this decision in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere and that we (Polekol members) will collaborate in the future, just under the different conditions.
To summarise, in terms of the Deep-T project, everything remains, more or less the same. I will remain in the project under the same role as from the beginning. There are also other colleagues of mine who will help with the project in terms of capacities. So, the only thing that changes is that new organisation will step in instead of the Polekol.
I wanted to inform all of you about this process once we register the new organisation, but. since Fede has mentioned it, I decided to let you know now about the whole thing. I sincerely hope that all of you are fine with this decision. We can talk about it in the next meeting if anybody has need for a deeper understanding of this decision.
Fede, please, put the Doodle so we can precise the next meeting. For me it is the same the first and the second half of the April
Cheers Sasha

Hello Natasa,
thanks a lot for your email and reminder.
Here in Italy we are still in the third wave and our region is currently "red" and in lockdown.
The situation is not easy and I have no idea when movements will be allowed again.
Regarding Gaia Terra. Unfortunately people in Gaia Terra are open negationists of the current pandemic.
The had a outbreak in December but almost all refused to do the test (because "they are not reliable"). Only 2 did and got positive, all the others had covid-compatible symptoms (lost of taste, fever, etc). Plus they did not clearly anknowledge it and the covid spread outside as well. Currently they are having public events outside even without masks. Their position is that "we accept your position on the virus, you have to accept our".
I do not want even to comment but it seems clear that, as we said in our previous meetings, we cannot have our event in a negationist venue.
This complicates a lot everything and it will be difficult to find a new venue capable enough. Maybe we should explore the possibility to host (*summer 2022*) the people in comrades houses and rent a space only for the events.
Polekol is having some troubles and I think that Sasa will soon update us on the mailing list.
So... when next meeting?
Are you happy mid April or second half? I can open a doodle for more precises date/hours.
Cheers
Fede

Hello everyone!
How is the beggining of the Spring? How are the restrictions in your countries? I was thinking these days about our project. As summer is a step closer, I suggest to have a meeting and take a desicion on what are we going to do. I believe that is the moment to take a desicion whether we are going this year or not. What are you all thinking about?
Regards from Greece.
