New Think Tank in the Making

Ljubljana, 13 February - A select group of about 150 held a meeting on Friday in what the initiators have billed as the first step to creating an "act thank", a think tank that will not only think ideas but also act on them. The plan is to get a broad segment of the civil society engaged, though not necessarily politically, according to banker Marko Voljč.
