We are very proud to have strong relationships to the Ambassadors of our 17 CEE countries and their staff! Today I had the pleasure to meet with Tomáš Jan Podivínský, the honorable ambassador for Czechia (with our good friend Zdenek Elias 📈 Trade Counsellor) and the honorable ambassador Andrea Bekić for Croatia with Saša Čvrljak. Both Ambassadors honor us by being patron member of SEC! Today, we discussed various ideas what we can do together in 2025 to strengthen the ties between our countries. Now we need to execute and I am looking forward to this! I also realized that I need to go to the hairdresser 😉
