Free Market Road Show in Skopje, Macedonia
Skopje, May 11 (MIA) - Vienna-based Hayek Institute and "Ohrid" Institute for Economic Strategies and International Affairs organize Monday international conference "Free Market Road Show 2009", which focuses on the reasons, consequences and future trends of the global economic crisis.
Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki addressed the conference, referring to the global crisis implications, not only in the economic sector, but also from the social and political aspects.
According to Milososki, 2009 would be difficult for all countries, whereas taking into consideration that Macedonia's larger trading partners are in recession, the country's exporting companies would be faced with the challenge of keeping their employees and survive up to the recovery period.

Leadership for Generations (A. Sattlberger's Blog)
The President of the Austrian Agriculture & Forest Association Felix Montecuccoli stated his values concerning private property, creativity and sustainable leadership at a round-table meeting of the Hayek Institute last Wednesday.
Values such as industriousness, private property, sustainability, long-term profitability, or family traditions have served the forest owners well so far, and could be key to success for other businesses as well, helping them to prosper and survive over the long term.
