Ljubljana Stock Exchange Hosts The Management Team Of Borsa Italiana SPA

On Monday, 11 February 2002, Mr Massimo Capuano, President & CEO, of the Italian Stock Exchange, and his Advisor for Global Relationship Development, Mrs Antonella Amadei, paid a visit to the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. The management team of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange first visited the Exchange in Milan in November 2001, and both sides then agreed they shared very similar views of future development of the European market.

This time, in Ljubljana, possibilities of further, more intensive co-operation between the two Exchanges were being explored.

During the day, Mr Capuano and Mrs Amadei also paid some courtesy visits to the Governor of the Bank of Slovenia, Mr Mitja Gaspari, to the President & CEO of the Nova Ljubljanska banka, Mr Marko Voljc, and to the Securities Market Agency where they held a discussion with Mr Miha Juhart, Chairman of Expert Council, and Mr Marko Prijatelj, Director.
