Also some of the important authorities in national and world's level will be there. Dr. Erhard Busek, Special Coordinator of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe will introduce specific views of investment in Southeastern Europe and Dr. Giorgio Dominese, Coordinator of Central Eastern European University Network will lecture about economical and political views and investment risks on the global level in current financial frame." Next to this he emphasized that falling of prices of share on Ljubljana's Stock Exchage also reflect that more and more shareholders withdraws, which is definitely not a good sign for Slovene economy.

"The aim of three-day meeting is introduction of Slovenian economy and investment, business and strategic opportunities in Slovenia, Middle and Southeastern Europe and establishing important contacts,", continued one of the chair team of program committee of PanSlovenian Shareholders' Association Ludvik Toplak, PhD, and emphasized that the "meaning of the conference is on one hand affirmation of Slovenia on shareholder's and investor's level and on the other hand there is a need to emphasize the meaning of introduction of Slovenia to foreign people and by that enhancement of good relationships and cooperation."

Miran Mejak, PhD, one of the chair team of program committee of PanSlovenian Shareholders' Association, emphasized bad position of shareholders in Slovenia and that this is why it is important that Slovenia hosts specialists like that. They are bringing new knowledge and experiences on this area in Slovenia. He thinks also that "that kind of meetings can show little shareholders in Slovenia about conditions abroad and by the help of opinion leaders, present at the meeting, we can improve conditions at home. Little shareholders have important role at existence of the middle class, which is foundation for the stability of every community."
