Warsaw Stock Exchange has now become a regional exchange for the whole &#13;&#10;of Eastern Europe. It is very well regulated and offers very good liquidity, &#13;&#10;which we consider to be a very strong point.

Tziamalis reckons getting listed in Warsaw will further &#13;&#10;elevate its business in the Middle East. <EM>&#8216;The company will be strengthening &#13;&#10;its operations across all the regions it operates in, especially the Middle East &#13;&#10;which is an area of great interest for the company.
