[Info-tech] Albanian Ministry of Education into Balkan information network?

[Mentor Cana]

Hello,

Does anyone have more information on the Balkan Information Network (BIN)? 

The article below shows willingness of the Albanian Ministry of Education
to be part of BIN. Is this network in existence today?

It also talks about the "information industry of Albania"? Can someone tell
me what are they trying to say here? What is the state of the Information
Industry in Albania, if any?

I also don't see the link between the Ministry of Education and the public
and private sector in this article.

later,
Mentor

Ministry of Education asks integration into Balkan information network
      TIRANE, Dec 19 (ATA)-By P. Shuteriqi,       The Scientific Research
Department at the Ministry of Education has projected the creation and
functioning of an inter-ministerial center for the integration of the
current information industry of Albania into the Balkan network.
      Sources from the Ministry reported on Sunday that the ministry's
computers and equipment will serve as a basis for the automatic exchange of
information at country scale and in the Balkan region and broader.
      A governmental, legalised and consolidated startegy for the modern
administration of this important sector is currently functioning in the
Balkan states for the industry of information.
      An action plan, proposed by the Ministry of Education and Science,
associated with concrete measures, is reported to be drafted for the
implementation of this project, so that Albania, too, is integrated into
the regional network of the information industry, through building a new
philosophy to modernise this important public and private sector.
