March 22 marked the completion of this year's second tour of international business-investor programs of PanSlovenian Shareholders' Association (VZMD): Invest to Slovenia (investo.si) in International Investors` Network (invest-to.net), upon return from Moscow, on which Mr. Kristjan Verbič visited Belarus and Russia. Following the business and social visit to Minsk with the reception at their Ministry of the Economy, the VZMD President at the invitation of the organizers actively participated in the International Forum "Innovations. Investments. Prospects", which took place in Vitebsk on Thursday and Friday.

In addition to the opening and myriad of forum events, Mr. Verbič took part in the festive reception organized by the Governor of the Vitebsk region on Thursday, which was also attended by numerous local and state representatives, as well as international representatives of companies, institutions and diplomacy. On Friday, Mr. Verbič paid a visit to some important companies in the region and attended numerous meetings and gatherings. Furthermore, he took part in the award ceremony and the concluding lunch given by organizers for the most prominent guests and delegations from other countries.

By the time his engagements in Belarus had ended, the VZMD President set off for Russia to attend previously arranged business meetings, from which he returned to Slovenia. The visit to Belarus and Russia went on as part of efforts and activities under the international business-investor programs investo.si and invest-to.net. The underlying theme was already the third visit of the VZMD representatives in Belarus - after the  visit to the business and economic area of Grodno in 2014 and participation in the Belarus-Slovenian business conference in Minsk, held in 2013. As always, the efficient presentation of companies, institutions and investment projects, included in investo.si and invest-to.net programs were properly arranged.

Upon successful presentations during the past two years in Astana, Almaty, Baku,  Belgrade, Bled, Bratislava, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Buffalo, Bucharest, Cape Town, Celje, Dubai, Vienna, Grodno, Helsinki, Istanbul, Yaroslavl, Kiev, Copenhagen, Ljubljana, Madrid, Minsk, Montevideo, Moscow, New Delhi, New York, Ouagadougou, Paris, Piran, Praja, Reykjavik, Tehran, Tokio, Toronto, Warsaw, Wiesbaden and Zagreb, the international business-investor programs of the PanSlovenian Shareholders' Association will also this year continue providing efficient attendance and presentation to its partners on five continents.
