Note:
- The organizers have to come a few days before the conference. Rent a hotel room for several people for several days is much more expensive than renting apartments. Also, in Hotel we do not have a work space. The apartments can be easier for organize our work. Here we present the price of accommodation and meals for days before Conference.

Note:
- Miscellaneous expenses are unplanned costs for emergency situations or costs incurred due to differences in exchange rate. These are actually reserves of money and we will send it back if there is no need for them.
- Bookkeeper: Serbian law requires that we have to have bookkeeper or someone who will take care about taxes and other national legal regulations about money. This can be very expensive, but we find an accountant who will give us a big discount. (This same bookkeeping agency worked for us several times)

However, we are not sure we will have attenders form each territory. Registration is still open, and we will know in the end how many people we will have. The team prefer to have €6400 in budget for travel and any unspent funds will be returned.
Current sponsors for this budget is Wikimedia HU with €1000 and Wikimedia PL with €3500.

This conference is organized to bring as many as people from the CEE countries as possible on one place and encourage them to raise their questions and participate in the creation of further mutual cooperation among the communities from the region. Some of the countries have never had a chance to reach the global community at any of the international conferences related to Wikimedia by having representative at these conferences, so this would be a good chance for them to state their own opinions and share their experiences with the other participants. It’s also a good opportunity to discuss some of the topics broadly and to analyse the role of the CEE countries in the global Wikimedia Movement.
The main goals of the Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2012 can be devided as followed:
- development and strengthening of the existing Wikimedia Chapters in the region;
- development and strengthening cooperation between the chapters;
- encouraging the people from the CEE countries with no local chapter to participate at the conferences related to Wikimedia;
- supporting the participants from the countries who haven’t established a Wikimedia Chapter yet, but are striving to do it in the time to come.
Project scope and list of activities
edit
Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2012 is due to be the first conference of Wikimedians from the region of Central of Eastern Europe. It is planned to be a two-day conference that will host two representatives from each of the 25 countries from the region, who will participate in order to help produce a stronger mutual cooperation among the communities in the region and help establish new values that will bring massive development of the region and the global Wikimedia Movement. The community or chapter from each country is obliged to send an official note that the people that will attend are endorsed to represent the specific community or chapter.
List of activities:
- Wikimania 2011: The first meeting of the CEE group was held at Wikimania 2011. Present at the meeting were people from the following countries sorted as founding countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, and Serbia. Other invited coutries include: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. Countries from a broader region that support the CEE partnership are Austria and Germany, while observing country is Kazakhstan. It was discussed the first Wikimedia CEE Meeting to be held in 2012.

The negotiations ended with defining the final date for the conference and the further cooperation between the involving parties in the sense of technical, logistic and the media support of the CEE Meeting.
- July 2012: - The local organizational team have invited some hotels and hostels in the city to deliver their offer with information about the accomodation capacity and prices for the participatns. The team have accepted several offers and finally decided to choose the one that guarantees a price reduction up to 40% and accomodation in the centre of the city.

- Involvement in the sessions related to Wikimedia Foundation grants and the Fund Dissemination Committee.
The potentials of the Wikimedia CEE group and the build-up of a strong international community of smaller communities and Wikimedia Chapters from the region mostly contributes to a further development of the general ideals and perspectives of the Wikimedia Movement. Every progress locally is very important for spreading the ideals of the whole Wikimedia Movement, thus enabling the global contribution towards global development.
If we simply devide Europe into East and West inside the Wikimedia Movement and consider that CEE region mostly falls within the East, we hope to reach a development that will enable the community from East Europe to become a stable partner with the global community from West Europe.
We hope that this conference will not only help the development of the communities in the CEE region, but will also encourage other Wikimedia communities to unite their selves and try to contribute as much as possible to the spreading of the ideals and perspectives of the Wikimedia Foundation. It is not only meant to be a starting point for further development of the CEE region, but a positive and motivating example for other interested parties as well.
We will consider this conference a success if we have:
- at least 30 participants from CEE country;
- decent media coverage;
- develop future global projects and cooperation.
