Boris Vukobrat slovi za jednog od najbogatijih ljudi s prostora bivše Jugoslavije. Većinski je vlasnik Copechima, kompanije za trgovinu naftom i derivatima registrirane u Švicarskoj. Boravi uglavnom u Parizu, gdje Copechim ima sjedište u novoj hi-tech četvrti La Defence, na kraju avenije Charles de Gaulle koja se nastavlja na Champs Elysees.

Nakon raspada Jugoslavije, Vukobrat se posvetio lobiranju za suživot na bivšem jugoslavenskom prostoru koji bi omogućio normalno poslovanje. Mnogi su mu zamjerali da posao miješa s politikom, a u Hrvatskoj je najviše kritika dobio 1993. kada je objavio `Prijedloge za novu zajednicu republika bivše Jugoslavije`. (Jutarnji list)

From September 1992 onwards, with the main aim of informing a certain number of people of the views of the Peace and Crises Management Foundation, Letters of the President have been published once a month initially and somewhat less frequently afterwards. They have presented a view of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia and the global problems of former Eastern European countries. There has been no major event that we failed to react to, consistently proposing ways of peaceful settlement of disputes and the integration of the whole area of former Yugoslavia into European and world development trends.

Our ideas have been received with approval by those striving for a constructive resolution of the wartime and post-Dayton situations, often inspiring discussions and plans.

In view of all this, it seemed logical to me that integral version of the Letters should be published now, thus providing an opportunity to review the activities of the Peace and Crises Management Foundation in the most convenient way. Faced with taxing problems, which have often led a considerable number of protagonists of the Yugoslav conflict from one form of extremism to another, the Foundation has striven to maintain a balanced attitude and, through its proposals and initiatives, improve the lot of those who were forcibly placed into a marginal position. We know almost everything about despair, and very little room has been left for hope. This is what our work is based on, and I should think that this book provides clear evidence of that.
