The renowned September Meeting, now in its 17th year, was recently hosted by NALED under the theme “Innovations – New Reforms and Ideas for a Better Tomorrow”.
Held at the White Palace, the event was graced by the presence of over 1,000 guests, including national and local leaders, entrepreneurs, international community representatives, and members of the diplomatic corps.
NALED took the opportunity to announce its top members for 2023. Distinguished guests including Minister of Construction, Goran Vesić; His Royal Highness Crown Prince Aleksandar II Karađorđević; and Chairman of NALED’s Executive Board, Vladislav Cvetković, addressed the audience, celebrating the organisation’s 17 fruitful years.
