Posle sramotnih scena sa protesta i velikog pritiska došlo je do nekih kretanja u Četrnaestom. Doduše, za sada je samo radnicima dat tek jedan minimalac, duguje im se 19 ili 20 plata i obećavaju im celih 10 ili 12,5% od novembarske plate za 2012. godinu, no izgleda da su posle dugog perioda neke mašine zaista prodate bez raznih posrednika iz sive zone. Ruku na srce jesu u pitanju slabije opremljeni modeli (posle duže vremena je isporučen jedan ULT čak i bez klima-uređaja), no bitno je da se održi bilo kakva proizvodnja.

IMK „14.oktobar“: Porast plasmana i tražnje za serijskim mašinama ohrabruju
U IMK „14.oktobar“ u restrukturiranju, danas je održana konferencija za novinare, na kojoj su predstavljeni poslovni planovi ove kompanije.
Porast plasmana i tražnje za serijskim mašinama je nešto što posebno raduje rukovodstvo i zaposlene u IMK 14. oktobar u restrukturiranju, rekao je generalni direktor ove kompanije Miloš Isailović na današnjoj konferenciji za novinare. Ova kompanija danas isporučuje dve mašine – utovarivač za rudnik uglja „Rembas“ Resavica i sanitarni kompaktor za JKP Kruševac
U proteklih nekoliko nedelja 14.oktobar je isporučio 1 buldozer JKP u Aleksandrovcu, i dva utovarivača preduzeću „Žito promet“ iz Sombora.
„Ono što nas posebno raduje jeste povećana tražnja za serijskim mašinama, novi ugovori sa Vojskom Srbije i sa rudnikom Kolubara, koji je od 14.oktobra poručio dva bagera 250 TS „, rekao je Isailović.
Najveći problem, po njegovim rečima, je nemogućnost zaduživanja kod banaka za obezbeđenje likvidnih sredstava, a 14. oktobar bi, u tom slučaju, mogao da proizvede mnogo više.
I da, čovek slabije vlada gramatikom srpskog od Kineza posle šest meseci u Srbiji, ali nek' bude da se zbunio...
Citat:The reasons for UAE investment in Serbia are shrouded in secrecy, although Serbian sources have revealed to MEE that they go far beyond any potential financial rewards.
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan has been accused of acting as a proxy for the US and Israel in Eastern Europe while also attempting to exploit a loosely regulated Serbian arms market to distribute weapons across the Middle East.
Behind the huge investment lies the shadowy figure of exiled Palestinian strongman Mohammed Dahlan. He is said to be at the centre of a web facilitating communication between the UAE with American and Israeli intelligence figures while also aiding corrupt Emirati investments in Serbia that have lined the pockets of their political leaders.
Citat:While there is understood to be good personal relationships between Serbian and Emirati leaders, MEE's Serbian sources have said geostrategic goals lie behind the UAE's involvement in Serbia.
"The UAE may be using its close ties and investment strategies in Serbia to thwart its rival Turkey from establishing a firm foothold and spreading its economic and geopolitical influence in the Balkans," the source told MEE. "The strategic positioning of the UAE against Turkish regional influence in the Balkans is probably the main underlying reasons for strategic cooperation between the UAE and Serbia."
"This is probably done on the advice of the US and Israel."
The source said the Serbians are naturally keen to counter any Turkish influence in the Balkans due to "fears Turkey may later use their power to recolonize Serbia".
Citat:Pekic also suggested that the UAE may be investing in Serbia's defence industry in order to counter Russian influence in the Balkans.
"What might be possible as well is that the UAE is finding a way of employing Serbia's defence industry – as Serbia is a country that refuses to join NATO – in a way that is seen as favourable by the US and EU," he said. "Serbia is constantly balancing between the EU and Russia in its foreign policy and the West may be keen to prevent Serbia from aligning itself too much with Vladimir Putin's Russia in the defence sector."
It isn't just political manoeuvring in the Balkans that is driving UAE interest in Serbia, however, with investment in the Serbian defence industry a potential route to amplifying their power within the Middle East, according to senior banking figures.
"Last year in Belgrade I was told by a government official that the UAE want to source arms supplies to give to their 'friends' in the region," Timothy Ash, head of emerging markets at Standard Bank, told MEE. "Serbia has a large arms industry and a lot of surplus military equipment. Obviously there is a market in the Middle East for high quality kit."
"There is a very sophisticated arms sector in Serbia, with far more flexible arms export rules, and the UAE are taking advantage of that," he added.
The UAE has run into trouble in the past for re-exporting arms in the Middle East. In 2012 Switzerland briefly suspended all arms export licenses to Abu Dhabi after reports emerged that Swiss-manufactured hand grenades, sold to the Emiratis, had been found in the hands of rebel groups in Syria.
The Swiss lifted the ban after UAE officials "assured...in writing that apart from the hand grenades, no other war material imported from Switzerland has been re-exported."
