'Balkan Express' Teaser: EPO's Željko Topić, Kuterovac, Campinos, Gurry, Battistelli and the DKPTO (Kongstad)

Summary: Various photos of Topić and Kuterovac. Some more photos with other IP "luminaries" such as Campinos of the EUIPO and Gurry of the WIPO.

Photos of Topić and Kuterovac etc. will become relevant to our upcoming long article as they visually demonstrate some of the points made therein (readers can see where we're going with this based on this teaser).

Here are Topić and Campinos (EUIPO), who some believe will take over the EPO one day.

Here is Topić a decade ago (2006), meeting the DKPTO for the twinning project [PDF]. The head of the DKPTO is now the Chinchilla man of the Administrative Council.

A lot of the above will be tied together in our upcoming article on the subject (the gallery of accompanying photos isn't as critical to the message we'll tell and the evidence we'll present).
