His lecture, The Future of Banking: How to Prepare Today for What’s Coming, attracted great interest from students, including those from the English-language programs in economics and business – Monteb.

The event was opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Prof. Dr. Mijat Jocović, who expressed his gratitude to Mr. Leberle for attending and emphasized that NLB Bank is one of the most important strategic partners of the Faculty. He also highlighted the importance of such lectures for students, stating that the doors of the Faculty of Economics are always open for future meetings and knowledge exchange.
