I've had several au-pairs from Czech and Slovak rep - as you say, they
seem to be picking it up fairly quickly there. I've a good mate who's a
Kosovan/Albanian - he edits an Albanian language linux general website.
I think a lot of these regions do not have all that much actual
investment in MS, so they're not quite so strung out with the exit costs
as other governments. good luck to them!
