Through this concept we pointed out the link between the real and the digital world, where an increasing number of people communicate, work and spend time daily, and which the art scene has moved to, and we wanted to once again present artists who are not quite established, and who are creating something special. In addition to the printed version, our calendar this year is also available in electronic form: a web page, widget and mobile version, making it available to a broader audience through our web and WAP portal. The “unlimited number of copies” draws attention to the new opportunities for the existence of art in the virtual space, and its accessibility. In addition to the great public attention that it created, the 12 Codes calendar also won first prize at the Exhibition of the most beautiful Calendars, Greeting Cards, at the Vojvodina Museum of Contemporary Art in Novi Sad. The first art calendar that we produced in Serbia was the 2008 calendar Challenge the Wall, by Aleksandar Maćašev, which consisted of reproductions of the 12 best works from the competition for designing Telenor wallpaper. The following one, the 2009 calendar New Face of “The visual identities of the artists that are presented in the calendar are called codes, which is a term borrowed from the technical world. Together we worked on these codes being presented through photographs, the way that the artist wanted others to see them. I am glad that Telenor recognizes the language in which contemporary culture communicates through new media, and that it decided to help artists reach mainstream art through the pages of its calendar.” the City by Igor Oršolić, included the projects where we supported the painting of murals in Serbian cities, while last year’s calendar Ready, Turn, Go! emphasized our environmental protection efforts, and was designed by the Od-do architectural group.

Being the largest foreign investor in Serbia, through the Foundation our Company continues to invest in Serbia and help develop its social potentials. We strive to help overcome the challenges that Serbia society faces, which is why the Foundation initiates projects that offer effective, sustainable and developmental solutions throughout the country. The project proposals that are submitted to the Telenor Foundation ([email protected]) are first reviewed by the Telenor social responsibility team. The projects that meet the Foundation’s criteria are then reviewed by the Foundation’s Managing Board, which decides which projects will receive support. The Managing Board convenes up to four times per year and ensures that the principles of the Telenor Foundation are carried out consistently and in compliance with the Statute, which was adopted when the Foundation was established. The Managing Board is expected to select projects in a transparent manner (by majority vote) and only those that receive the sufficient number of votes are implemented. Minutes are kept at the meetings, and are then sent to all the members of the Managing Board, so that they can once more verify their decision. The Managing Board has five members and two advisors, of which only two are Company employees, with the remaining members and advisors being distinguished members of society and prominent experts in a number of fields. For more information on the strategy, activities and the list of Managing Board members visit www.telenor.rs/fondacija. The projects that we launch through the Foundation are primarily aimed at providing support for socially vulnerable groups, youths, youth education and professional training, as well as development of the art market, cultural and art production, and environmental protection. Through the work of the Foundation we have successfully collaborated with governmental and nongovernmental institutions, various organizations and educational institutions. Our project partners are required to submit monthly progress reports, and at the end of the project they submit a detailed report on the results and effects, which is then reviewed by the Foundation’s Managing Board. In 2010 the Managing Board approved more than 20 projects, which we launched in collaboration with more than 25 partner organizations. The Company also took part and supported the implementation of a dozen more socially beneficial projects.
