SAN FRANCISCO — Travel to the former Yugoslavia can be a hard sell these days, what with raging warfare and bad press from “ethnic cleansing.” But that isn’t stopping high-tech guru Esther Dyson from holding her fourth annual East-West High-Tech Forum there Oct. 10-13.
The brochure highlights the location for the computer industry conference as a five-star resort hotel in the lakeside mountain town of Bled, “just south of the Austrian border in Slovenia, the peaceful northern part of the former Yugoslavia.”
Emphasis is placed on proximity to Venice, Munich, Vienna and Budapest. No mention is made of Croatia or Bosnia-Herzegovina, which lie to the southeast.
Time will tell if computer execs balk at going to the Balkans.
