Newsletter: “PEP-NET discourse: Live discussion with Marko Rakar Today 10:30 CET” 1. January 2007 – 11:04 by John Heaven (TuTech Innovation GmbH)

Dear Reader,

Despite the turmoil surrounding his recent arrest, Marko Rakar has kindly agreed to take part in a PEP-NET live chat about eParticipation in Central and Eastern Europe. Marko, winner of the 2009 eDemocracy Award, founded the Croatian blog pollitika.com, which has a monthly readership of 150,000 and where 2,000 articles are published every year.

The live chat will take place from 10:30-12:00 CET Today, 16th April, as part of PEP-NET’s Online Discourse on eParticipation in Central and Eastern Europe.

Marko has been in the headlines in the past few days because he was accused of publishing a list of Croatian war veterans, which is a state secret. He categorically denies involvement and emphasises that he voluntarily went to police when he found out about rumours circulating on the internet suggesting that he was behind the site. You can read his description of events on his blog.
Click here to go straight to the chat!

All the best from:

Rolf Luehrs, PEP-NET Coordinator	Bengt Feil	John Heaven
