What is needed to be done within the Ministry of Finance, the Securities Commission and the Belgrade Stock Exchange to facilitate access to capital for domestic companies? The most invited to answer these and many more questions are Marko Janković Chairman of the Securities Commission, Siniša Krneta Director of the Belgrade Stock Exchange, Zsolt Bangó Senior Financial Sector Specialist And Ognjen Popović from the Ministry of Finance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the conversation will be moderated by Danijela Mirkov-Arkula from CFA Society Serbia.
