Last weekend marked the closure of the three-day meeting of the World Federation of Investors (WFI) as well as numerous conferences, meetings and the general meeting of this reputable international organization, which has brought together over 60 national associations of shareholders and investors in four decades. The conference - as always since the acceptance of VZMD in Sao Paolo in 2008 - was attended by the VZMD President, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, who presented the association's activities whereby the greatest interest and attention was paid to the processes related to the expropriation of the holders of subordinated bonds and stocks of Slovenian banks. Just before the meeting, VZMD published the news stating that the EUROPEAN COMMISSION officially bolstered the position of VZMD.
One of the major topics was also the "Volkswagen scandal", whereby the prominent participants from 25 countries agreed upon collaboration options and joint action with the International Financial Litigation Network (IFLN), on behalf of affected investors and shareholders as well as users and suppliers, which was specifically pointed out by Mr. Verbič also in view of the potential interests of the Slovenian automotive industry and he suggested to organize the legal protection also for the suppliers. In view of the above, VZMD appeals to all shareholders, users and suppliers of Volkswagen in Slovenia and in the former Yugoslavia to let them know if interested in taking part in the pending procedures.
The meeting of the WFI was concluded with the visit to the high visibility World's Fair, EXPO Milano 2015, where VZMD, supported by SPIRIT Slovenia, provided free tickets for the guided tour and presentations at the Slovenian pavilion to the WFI delegation. The highest representatives of the WFI were personally welcomed by the General Commissioner of the EXPO Milano 2015 Section of the Republic of Slovenia, Ms. Jerneja Lampret, and they showed great interest in viewing the attractive presentation of Slovenia, its culture, history and knowledge and were thrilled at the offer and possibilities, which some of them learned about also during the WFI meeting in 2012 in Slovenia (VIDEO).
