Table Conference topic is certainly very interesting for the whole
region. The positive IMF estimation of the economic trends in our
country, particularly as regarding the bank privatization, which
certainly supports foreign investments in our country, is one of the
motives to organize this Round Table Conference.

Nikola Mircic, Microsoft Representative, expects an extremely good
contact to the section of small and medium-sized enterprises at this
