As part of the »Warsaw Capital Market Summit 2014« two-day international conference which took place at the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Polish National Museum hosted a gala reception with the award ceremony for categories »The Bridge Award 2014«, »Best International Emerging Europe Long Fund 2013/2014« and »Best IPO on the Warsaw Stock Exchange 2013/2014« on Thursday night. The event in Warsaw was also attended by the President of the PanSlovenian Shareholders' Association (VZMD), Mr. Kristjan Verbič, MSc, who also attended an additional conference at the Warsaw Stock Exchange »Building Market Economies in Europe: Lessons and Challenges after 25 Years of Transition« on after the award ceremony on Friday, organized by the National Bank of Poland and International Monetary Fund. The conference was attended by numerous high representatives of central banks, investment funds, banks and financial institutions, among others also by Mr. Boštjan Jazbec, PhD, Governor of the Bank of Slovenia. Mr. Jazbec conducted an interesting panel discussion titled »The plumbing: financial sector development«.

As the panel participants, before Sunday reports on the European bank stress test results, did not touch upon either the current issue or the computation methodology issue, which in the case of Slovenian banks indicated professionally unfathomable negative capital, Mr. Verbič asked for the floor, but was kindly rejected. Nevertheless, Mr. Jazbec, the Governer, and Mr. Verbič had an intensive conversation regarding the current problems and issues related to the shocking expropriation of 100,000 shareholders of the three Slovenian banks, 2,000 holders of subordinated bonds and thus indirectly of 500,000 citizens (a quarter of inhabitants), with savings in the pension funds, trust and insurance companies totaling over EUR 500 million.

In addition, they touched upon the VZMD's request for disclosure of documentation regarding alleged requirements for and against expropriations in Slovenian banks, publicly offered by the Governor at Consultations on Slovenian banking development strategy, in March at the National Council, where he pointed out that he may provide all requirements and meeting minutes of Bank of Slovenia where they tried to avoid cancellation of subordinated bonds of Slovenian banks, but in the end it was simply requested to pursue the cancellation (by European Commission or European Central Bank?!).

In the evening, Mr. Verbič attended a special reception and dinner of central bank representatives, IMF and powerful financial institutions in the eminent Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science.

Moreover, numerous representatives of investment funds, banks, and law firms at both conferences were asking the VZMD President about the scandalous expropriation of Nova KBM, which was also listed in the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

On this occasion, the VZMD President used this opportunity to establish and strengthen business and friendly contacts in the framework of activities and efforts of VZMD international business investment programs: Invest to Slovenia (investo.si) and International Investor` Network (invest-to.net).
