New Caprice Salon Sparkles in Gresham
 A befitting location for the sale of ever-shining diamonds, jeweler group Caprice recently opened its fourth retail salon in the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel Grasham Palace.
In an effort by designers for the two brands to complement each other, the interior of the luxury hotel and the store harmonize in several aspects of design, such as artistic peacock motifs that appear both on the tapestry of the store and several places in Hotel Gresham.
The salon contains master works of art to be worn, as well as numerous exquisitely crafted home decor jewels. In accordance with Caprice International's business philosophy, the new store will strive to satisfy the customers of the hotel, as well as provide its unparalleled compositions to the jewel connoisseurs of Hungary, looking for unique, hand-crafted products.
As a result of such an inventory, Caprice stores are often referred to as 'jewel boxes,' which shows the way the brand's faithful customers refer to the valuable masterpieces that are also called the 'apex of jewel making' by precious gem experts around the world.

in the given year for the better familiarization of the culture
of their county across Europe), thus no wonder that many people
believe it is this festival that really brings spring to Europe.

Serbian Elections Bring Early
Independence For Kosovo
The Balkans remain a traditional regional political hot-spot
by Tamas S. Kiss
 The
majority of EU member states were dancing-on-the-edge recently
in their delicate diplomatic balancing act to support
Serbia's
plans to join the EU alongside an expected declaration of independence
from the breakaway province of Kosovo in the near future. At
the same time, the EU's diplomacy raced against the clock to
save face with Serbian hard-liners and Russian leaders,
who publicly opposed Kosovo's independence. Over the past
several
months, European diplomats handed each other the door-handles
in attempts to facilitate a coordinated declaration of independence,
one which is strongly backed by the US, much to Russia's
chagrin.

Hungarian
IT Sector Expects Better Year In 2008
About 33% orders from public sector
by Sandor Laczko

services in this sector. Keresztesi, also CEO of FreeSoft Kft,
estimates this fall to be around 10% in the government sector.
This figure was unsurprising and could have been forcasted at
the beginning of the year.
