Dear AmCham Macedonia members and friends –
Welcome to the spring 2015 edition of Emerging Macedonia. This issue highlights competition regulation
trends in the world and in Macedonia, with contributions from two law office members: Karanovic &
Nikolic and Cakmakova Advocates in addition to an interview with the Direction of the State Commission
on Competition. I hope you’ll find it informative and interesting,
It’s certainly been a busy period for our organization, with the launch of our Business Visa Program in
January, hosting a customer service seminar in February, carrying out an extensive procurement speaker
program and hosting a CSR training in March, organizing training for IPR enforcement personnel in April
and, most recently, training for tax inspectors on transfer pricing. Not one of these activities would have
been possible without the impressive member support and volunteerism that makes our organization
unique.
While the country grapples with difficult political challenges this spring and summer, AmCham will
continue to serve its membership with networking and learning opportunities, including the launch of a
new meeting format called the Member to Member Learning Series. These sessions will be both educational
and promotional opportunities for our members. AmCham will host 1-2 such sessions per month in its
new premises, recruit relevant attendees and cover all logistics and related costs. Presenting members just
need to come prepared to share their knowledge, strengthen their network and build their brand profile.
Please contact the Executive Office if you’re interested!
With best wishes for a beautiful summer,
Michelle Osmanli
