The Horticulture Fair is promotionally significant – many things may be seen, but it is also educational, since many things can be learned, as well, said Stanojević.
The State Secretary connected easily the Fair opened by him, saying they are connected by the people spending a lot of time outdoors, some for work and some for hobby. They all have a mutual task – to protect the environment, since this is the only way for Serbia to be a country of healthy agricultural products, but also a country visited for nautica, hunting and fishing.
