Speaking from Stockholm at the conclusion of INSOL Europe's 2009 annual congress he said "I am delighted to take up this role at a time when restructuring and insolvency professionals are busy across Europe.

Winning the Eurovision Song Contest was only one of Serbia’s European achievements last weekend. They also hosted INSOL Europe’s 3rd Accessing Countries Committee conference, as reported by Economy, the Serbian business news website.
