Yesterday I was on meeting with director of Beta news agency and Beta's 
manager for Internet. According to our informal agreement a year and a 
half ago, we made yesterday a formal agreement:

- We may take their short news (a couple per day) for sr.wn (see rss 
feed [1]).
- We may take their longer news (between one and three during working 
days) for en.wn, see rss feed [2]. (This will go into the separate thread.)
- Actually, they offered to us the whole bulletin in English with one 
day of delay, too. (This will go into the separate thread.)
- They have a clear knowledge about what CC-BY 2.5 is (as I mentioned, 
news which they are giving on Internet are used de facto under CC-BY). 
I'll send to them how their permissions should look like and, they will 
print it, sign it and send it to permissions-<whatever>@wikimedia.org.
- Wikimedia Serbia may sign some kind of agreement with Beta, which 
should be discussed.
- If we have some other ideas, they are open to listen and if it is not 
against their interests, I am sure that they will agree with that.
