First Balkan Project Leadership Summit - Wrap Up
Thanks to the presenters, the volunteers and the PMI chapters of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Romania, who made the first Balkan summit possible.

Dear friends,
We would like to thank our presenters for their contribution to the First Balkan Project Leadership Summit, as well as the participants in the event.
This event wouldn’t have happened without the support from the other PMI Balkan chapters: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania and the host, Macedonia.
A huge thanks goes to PMI Global and Brightline Initiative for allowing us to have Mr Thomas Walenta, PMI Board Member, as their representative at the summit.
A special thanks goes to our board members: Ana Temelkoska - Iloski, Dolores Ananieva, Vangel Fushtikj and Tomislav Limbevski.
The summit wouldn’t have been as good as it was without our presenter Milan Shmigich, and of course without the support of our volunteers: Eli, Emi, Jasna and Nesho.

As promised at the summit, the presentations were shared with the original post. They were:
- Leadership in Project Management as part of IT Governance, Snezhana Cherepnalkovska Dukovska
