ZAGREB, Jan 3 (Hina) - According to the Croatian Government's
Commission for solving the Y2K problem and reports which this
troubleshooting team for the millennium bug received from big
companies and important economic subjects, no big problems should
occur with the computer-controlling services on January 4, the
first working day in Croatia in the new century, reported a
Commission member on Monday.#L#
January 3 is also a holiday in Croatia as the parliamentary election
is being held today.
The member of the Y2K troubleshooting team, Ivana Romac, told Hina
on Monday that the Croatian National Electoral Commission reported
no problem with their computers in the centre which is gathering and
processing data from polling stations.
Computer-controlling services and public companies in Croatia slid
smoothly in 2000, and all vital systems such as the power grid,
transport and telecommunications and public health are functioning
without problems related to the possible millennium bug.
Immediately upon entering 2000 most of these systems and firms
carried out tests about their possible vulnerability to glitches
which might be caused by the change of data in computer systems.
The Government's Commission for solving the Y2K problem has been on
duty around the clock since December 31 and it will work so until
midnight January 3.
The fear about the millennium bug centres on a possibility that some
computers misread "00" in 2000 as 1900.
