Ivan Leposavic has announced his resignation as Executive Director of the Belgrade Stock Exchange, less than a year after taking on the role. Leposavic shared his decision on LinkedIn, describing his time at the exchange as “extremely valuable and inspiring”, and expressing pride in the achievements made during his tenure. He began his role on September 1, 2023, and his resignation follows shortly after the decision to launch trading on the exchange.
His predecessor, Siniša Krneta, also announced his retirement in July 2023, after eight years in the position.
Leposavic stated that he is stepping down to pursue new professional challenges and opportunities. He expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and optimism about the future of the Belgrade Stock Exchange, which is poised for further development, especially with the recent launch of a project by the Ministry of Finance and the World Bank aimed at advancing Serbia’s capital market.
The timing of Leposavic’s resignation comes as the Belgrade Stock Exchange prepares for significant developments, including the trading of MREL bank bonds, corporate and IJP bonds, and other financial instruments.
