The Austrian government has bestowed one of the highest orders any civilian can receive from that European country’s president to Josef Forstmayr, managing director of the Round Hill Hotel and Villas. The Jamaican naturalised Austrian-born general consul received the Great Medal of Merit of the Austrian Republic via Austria’s newly minted ambassador to Jamaica, Sylvia Meier-Kajbic, at an intimate cocktail reception at the Hanover resort. The event attracted the likes of the new Canadian High Commissioner to Jamaica Emina Tudakovic; British High Commissioner to Jamaica Judith Slater; Marianne Van Steen, ambassador of the European Union to Jamaica, and close friends and associates of Forstmayr. Something Extra brings you the highlights.
