Ljubo Sirc's 90th Birthday


Bernard Brscic reports:

" Everything went extremely well. Ljubo was in good form and enjoyed the company of 50 guests. The main event at the Museum of Modern history was the presentation of two books: his memoirs published by Demokracija, and translation of some of his essays Brezpotja published by Slovenska Matica.

On 19th April I published a long essay on Ljubo's life and achievements in the daily newspaper, Finance. I am glad to say it was very well received. Ljubo also gave numerous interviews for the Slovenian media."

CRCE Discussion

In March, the boardroom was packed with a distinguished audience. Tomasz Mickiewicz and Philip Hanson spoke on Russia, Poland, Ukraine and the others - some more general lessons from the current crisis. The topic generated much discussion, and there was a lively buzz at this event.
