This positions him as a trusted partner for cross-border cooperation among banks, corporations, and institutional stakeholders.

He is also actively engaged in international networks, chambers of commerce, and institutional cooperation, contributing to the development of stable, transparent, and sustainable frameworks for cross-border collaboration.
Overall, Sirca represents a modern leadership profile with a strong focus on international banking, particularly Trade Finance and Payments, and on connecting markets, institutions, and cultures between Southeast Europe and Western Europe.
