This year's second tour of the VZMD international business-investment programmes: Invest to Slovenia - investo.si and International Investors` Network - invest-to.net took place in the second half of March. The President of the Pan-Slovenian Shareholder's Association (VZMD), Kristjan Verbič, MSc, took an active part in the Slovene business delegation in Bratislava along with the Slovene Foreign Minister Mr Karel Erjavec, who visited his Slovakian counterpart Miroslav Lajčak.
Mr Verbič departed from Bratislava to attend the »India-Central Europe Business Forum« in New Delhi, where he established numerous promising economic contacts, participated in more than 30 »B2B« talks and met many esteemed Indian, European and international businessmen as well as representatives of various companies and institutions. He also participated in the formal receptions at the Slovenian and Czech Embassies and in the gala reception held by the Indian Foreign Minister, her Excellency Preneet Kaur (in the photo - VIDEO link).
Immediately after the reception the VZMD President flew to Brussels, where he actively participated at the International Conference of the European Federation of Financial Services Users »Better Finance Manifesto«. More than 200 esteemed representatives of European and international institutions and companies listened carefully to influential European decision makers and regulators who focused their thoughts on the possibilities of gaining back the trust of European savers and individual investors.
In the main thematic part of the conference, Mr Verbič also took part in the discussion, and among other things he presented current problems and burning issues in Slovenia, including a Letter to the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, in which - together with professor Dr Peter Glavič, representative of the Civil Initiative »Erased Small Shareholders of the Nova KBM« and of the NKBM Section at VZMD - he addressed the problem of the unequal treatment of Slovenia and its threatened financial, economic and social stability after the scandalous expropriation of the owners of shares and bonds of Slovenian banks.
The letter to President Barroso, which was also directed other members of the European Commission and Parliament, was otherwise included in the official material of the International Conference and was distributed to all the present participants. They showed a great interest in the above mentioned problems since – as the VZMD President himself pointed out – measures enforced in Slovenia could also be implemented in some other European countries with the impending new round of stress tests.
After this year's successful presentations of companies, institutions and investment projects in Bratislava, Brussels, Madrid, New Delhi in Ouagadougou, and last year's in Astana, Almaty, Baku, Bled, Brussels, Buffalo, Bucharest, Cape Town, Celje, Dubai, Vienna, Kiev, Ljubljana, Madrid, Minsk, Moscow, New Delhi, Tokyo,Toronto and Zagreb, VZMD is planning this year to be actively present and to carry out presentations on five different continents!
