October 2013
Editorial

It is with great pleasure that I present to you our October trESS e-Newsletter, which will give you an insight in the latest developments in our project as well as in the most recent developments in the broad field of EU social security coordination.

As to the activities of the project, all but one of the trESS 2013 seminars have taken place. To our great delight, these seminars were all considered a success, with interesting topics on the agenda and lively debates between the participants. I would hereby like to thank everyone who has contributed this year. At the same time, I would like to warmly invite our Croatian (and other) readers to participate in the first Croatian trESS seminar in Opatija on 8 November 2013.
