In Moscow,directing the operations, will be, along with José Jorge Letria, Mitko Chatalbashev, Executive Director of CISAC for Europe and Javier Gutiérrez, Vice-President of CISAC and President of Spain’s VEGAP.
The European Committee will do its best so that Russian collective management entities rights are respected and consolidated and there is a more intense level of dialogue in relations between European societies, without it being felt the tensions that mark the balances between north and south and east and west.
The interventions of José Jorge Letria at international level always highlight this point, especially in the context of the crisis which characterizes the present moment.
