As the world tour of the international business-investor programs of the VZMD was coming to an end, the VZMD.tv team prepared a VIDEO: https://youtu.be/3EZ8Kh9PmgY featuring one of the first protests of the striking US actors and screenwriters in New York, addressed by the VZMD President, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, who also passed on the official support of the Actors Guild of Slovenia. Since then, the protests have escalated and intensified, even leading to the postponement of Emmy Awards, the most prestigious award in the US and international television industry.

Mr. Verbič visited New York namely as a speaker at the WORLD LAW CONGRESS, organized by the influential WORLD JURIST ASSOCIATION celebrating its 60th anniversary; prior to this – as a representative of a non-government organization involved in the protection of stakeholders’ rights in Slovenia and Croatia – he had talked to the strike organizers and numerous members of the SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of TV & Radio Artists) and WGA (Writers Guild of America) and, upon their request, addressed the striking members which was received with great approval and much applause. In his address, he highlighted the vital importance of the strike, both in the global context and as part of the interest of numerous other professions, creators, social groups and classes who are and will continue to face with similar problems ever so frequently, and warned against the challenges of the 'artificial intelligence' (AI)
