Last Mr Matija Bitenc, Member of the Management Board and CFO presented half-yearly results of Petrol d. d. Ljubljana.

In three hours, five comprehensive presentations were given, supported by Q&A sections where a plethora of interesting and insightful questions were asked, which indicates that Slovenian listed companies are well-known internationally and are interesting to international investors. This event is just one out of many that pursue goals and activities of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and are organised with the intention of increasing the visibility and exposure of the Slovenian capital market.

Judging by the number of registered investors, the event was a definite success, as more than 170 investors, among them 79 international, participated. The investors came from 20 countries, i.e Austria, Bahamas, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Republic of Kosovo, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Russian Federation, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States and of course, Slovenia.
