Nobel Prize winner Jozef Stiglic invited Serbian economists yesterday (December 10, 2008) to join the work of the UN General Assembly's commission for global economic crisis and to make a separate document with the review of the effects of current crisis on Serbia and western Balkans and possible solutions.

At the meeting with Serbia's Deputy Prime Minister of European Integrations, Božidar Đelić, Stiglic, who is former vice president and the leading economist of the World Bank, presented its view of the current economic situation in the world as the Chairman of the UN General Assembly's commission for global economic crisis.

Đelić pointed out at the meeting with Stiglic that Serbia did its best to alleviate the influence of global economic crisis on local economy and he emphasized the necessity of its participation in the work of the UN commission.

The meeting was also attended by eminent Serbian economists Dejan Šoškić, Pavle Petrović, Jurij Bajec, Mihailo Aradarenko and Boško Živković.

Stiglic won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001.
