Following Wednesday's ceremonial conclusion of the 2nd European Congress of Local Governments, the PanSlovenian Investors' & Shareholders' Association (VZMD) President, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, returned from the Polish town of Krakow where he actively participated, among others, at the "Investments as a Driving Force Behind Economic Development of the Regions" round table at the invitation of the organizers. During that time, he presented numerous opportunities of the Slovenian economic environment, as well as the activities and plans of VZMD's international business-investor programs: Invest to Slovenia – investo.si and International Investors` Network – invest-to.net. This was met with great interest by the participants, and Mr. Verbič yet again answered concrete questions. This included questions regarding the expropriation of investors in "Bank NKBM" shares at the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) which, unfortunately, seems to be a perennial issue in Poland when establishing business and investment relations with Slovenia.
At the two-day congress, which took place at "ICE Krakow", the town's main congress center, there was over 50 different events; unfortunately, a visit by the Polish prime minister, Ms. Beata Szydlo, and a part of her team was canceled at the last minute due to current domestic political priorities. The highly visible congress was attended by over 2,000 visitors, representatives of central government and local authorities, ministers, mayors and regional presidents, as well as economists, businessmen, scientists and other prominent guests from over 20 countries.
Mr. Verbič who had arrived in Krakow already on Monday attended all the major events at the Congress, receptions and the award ceremony "Top Local Government's Leaders Awarded". He also participated in several discussions and meetings, and gave an interview for the local television. This was his second visit to the Polish regional capital city this year, following the extremely successful co-organization of the Slovenian business center which was opened in January during the European Handball Championship in Wroclaw (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO of the investo.TV / VZMD.tv team)
