The annual International Business Drink 2019 has been successfully organized in Ljubljana by seven bilateral business and trade organizations – Advantage Austria, British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce, German-Slovene Chamber of Commerce and Industry AHK, Italian Trade Agency, French-Slovenian Business Club, the Dutch Embassy – with Serbian Chamber of Commerce joining the international business club for the first time.  This is the eighth consecutive year this prestigious business event is organized to mark the end of the summer season and the beginning of business challenges in the second part of the year.
