Full liability rests with the advertisers. 3 editorial Letter from the editor For nearly a decade SeeNews has been following the corporate sector of Southeast Europe (SEE) as it zigzags through the rough local economic terrain. Weak institutions, poor infrastructure and excessive dependence on foreign markets have remained constant elements of the picture. To these, the past year added political instability and election-related mac- roeconomic weaknesses in some countries, alongside new geopolitical pressures – an intensifying refugee flow, Britain's decision to exit the EU, and strained relations between the bloc and Russia, a traditionally major investor and trading partner for the region. To help the SEE countries tackle these challenges – both external and domestic – international financial institutions such as the IMF and the EBRD, as well as the EU itself, have been pouring cash into the region, while at the same exerting pressure for reforms and improvement of the business climate. All in all, economic activity in SEE picked up and this is eventually starting to show in the companies' bottom lines. The combined revenues and earnings of the entrants in the TOP 100 SEE companies ranking edged up in 2015, following a decline a year earlier. The increase, however, remained below the region's average GDP growth, suggesting that corporate majors have been slow to adapt to the chang- ing environment. From a positive perspective, however, it points to an untapped potential for growth. Expectations that the corporate sector is headed for better times are fur- ther underpinned by projections that economic growth will strengthen in the coming years. Combined with the ongoing EU integration and inflow of EU funds, more efficient judiciary and improved business environment, this will provide a solid base for higher revenues and profitability. The economic pick-up has been a tailwind for one industry in particular and that is retail and wholesale, which comes as little surprise given that household consumption was the main driver of economic growth in the region. The winner of the TOP 100 SEE ranking also is only too logical – a com- pany based in the region's biggest and fastest growing economy, in a sector that has been making the best of Southeast Europe's cheap skilled labour and proximity to global markets. And an illustrative example of what Tomasz Telma, IFC regional director Europe and Central Asia, says in an exclusive interview for this publication: “Some countries can be a little bit more deliberate and persistent in going through the mapping of their economy and trying to figure out how to make themselves attractive to those foreign investors who are making choices.” Siana Mishkova Editor-in-chief 4 TOP 100 companies in millions of euro Total revenue Total revenue Y/Y change in Net profit/ Net profit/ Rank by net 2015 2014 Company name Country Industry 2015 2014 revenue Loss 2015 Loss 2014 profit/loss 1 1 Automobile-Dacia SA Romania Automobiles 4 290 4 247 1.98% 99.0 82.9 14 2 2 OMV Petrom SA Romania Petroleum/Natural Gas 3 554 4 144 -13.43% -139.4 409.9 97 3 6 OMV Petrom Marketing SRL Romania Petroleum/Natural Gas 3 322 3 234 3.68% 73.2 68.0 22 4 4 Petrol d.d.

    PAGE 1 Devin Alexander www.devinalexander.com BBQ-Bacon Meat Loaf From “The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook” Bread crumbs are traditionally used in meat loaf and meatballs to add moisture to the finished dish and, sometimes, even to add bulk to stretch the meat for your dollar. I often use oatmeal instead as it will do the trick to create moist and delicious dishes while adding fiber—it’s not just a bunch of white flour. I don’t add too much because I still want the dishes to be predominantly protein-based, but it’s very important to add some, especially with leaner meat like chicken and turkey breast. With the right recipe, turkey and chicken loaves can taste just as fattening as their beef counterparts! Got leftovers? Use them to make my BBQ-Bacon Meat Loaf Sandwich (page 62). Olive oil spray 1 cup chopped red onion Photo: Mitch Mandel 4 slices extra-lean turkey bacon, chopped 2⁄3 cup old-fashioned oats 1⁄2 cup fat-free milk 1 pound extra-lean ground chicken breast 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten 1 clove fresh garlic, minced 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1⁄8 teaspoon salt 1⁄3 cup barbecue sauce (7 grams carbohydrates or less per 2 tablespoons) Preheat the oven 350°F. Lightly mist a 9" °— 5" °— 3" nonstick loaf pan with the olive oil spray. Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly mist the pan with spray and add the onion and bacon. Cook, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onion is tender and just barely starting to brown and the bacon is crisped.

  • Cross-Border Electricity Trading in Southeast Europe Towards an Internal European Market †
    energies Article Cross-Border Electricity Trading in Southeast Europe Towards an Internal European Market † Despoina I.

Received: 8 December 2020; Accepted: 14 December 2020; Published: 17 December 2020 Abstract: The European Commission’s Target Model’s main objective is to integrate European electricity markets, leading to a single internal energy market and guaranteeing the instantaneous balance between electricity generation and demand. According to the target model for electricity trading, proposed by the European Network Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), within each zone, electricity can be traded freely without taking into consideration network limitations. In contrast, for cross-border trading, the exchanges with other market areas are taken into account. Cross-border trade poses a further burden on the interconnection lines, resulting in increasing network congestion, which in turn restricts electricity trading. Thus, calculating the available capacity for trade has a significant ramification on the market. Today, the Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) mechanism dominates cross-border trading, but this methodology may be replaced by the Flow-Based (FB) approach across Europe.

Tek tijekom zadnjih 10 godina se više pažnje pridaje obiteljskim poduzećima i sve više se danas mladi upoznaju sa samim pojmom i načinom poslovanja obiteljskog poduzeća. Naravno ovakav tip poslovanja zaslužuje više posvećenosti, a da se što manje zanemari. U ovome radu su prikazana obiteljska poduzeća u Hrvatskoj i na koji način su ona postigla uspjeh.

NUM.: 2.801.709 Albania Has there been any research, exploration and/or exploitation activity in the last 10 years? Which companies are active in the upstream activity? Albania has many mineral resources, most notably: copper, iron-nickel and coal, as well as petroleum. There is located one of the largest onshore oil fields in Europe: Patos-Marinza, for which an increasing number of international oil companies today are securing oil prospecting licenses. Over the last decade, the country has awarded drilling licenses to a number of American, Austrian, Canadian, Croatian, Greek, and Swedish companies, and an increasing number of international companies are now seeking prospecting licenses. This has led to a growing workforce and an influx of investment in the oil, mining and gas sectors, which provides optimism for a long term recovery in the extractive industries. In the areas of exploration foreign companies prevail and operate on the basis of PSCs entered into with the Albanian state. In addition to minerals, Albania also holds considerable oil and natural gas, and the government is currently in the process of promoting increased production to international oil and gas firms in the wake of its program of privatization.
