The Congress programme included the opening ceremony with a keynote presentation by Mr. Hagen Graeff, President of the German DVW. The opening session was followed by one plenary session including four keynote presentations among these presentation given by Dr. Andreas Drees, Vice President of FIG. FIG was represented in Belgrade also by Mr. Gerhard Muggenhuber, Chair of FIG Commission 3.

During Thursday and Friday there were more than 70 presentations given in the conference programme. Most speakers were from Serbia, Montenegro and Germany. Interpretation between Serbian and English helped local and foreign participants to follow the sessions.

INTERGEO-EAST was a successful small copy and transformation of the German INTERGEO with a considerable smaller trade fair combined with a thematically appropriate congress. Success for the organizers was obviously good enough to organize the second INTERGEO-EAST in March/April next year.
