The focus on Postwar is significant for the statistics staff and those following Anniversaries, since the actually first edition of this outstanding event, as it will be shown having global dimensions, happened two decades earlier \u2013 in the prewar 1937.<\/p>\n<p>This is the opportunity to remind of August 23, 1957, when about 9.30 a. m., in the presence of high ranking Governmental officials, Franc Lesko\u0161ek, Member of the Federal Executive Council, cut the ribbon festively in front of the Hall 3. And there was definitely something to see, since all halls were overfull.\u00a0 The observers estimated at least \u2018a day and night\u2019 were necessary to review all exhibits at least at first sight. Unlike, as it seemed, the optimistic expectation anyway the event would be visited by about 500 thousand people, on the Fair closing date, at noon, a million and 115 thousand visitors were \u2018counted\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>On the Hall 1 Gallery was the Businessmen Club, having the task of connecting and contact making. \u00a0According to the first reports, the jobs with the value of more than 118 billion Dinars were concluded just through them and the stands. The goods import with the value of 7.5 million US Dollars was contracted, as well as the export to the amount of 10.5 million US Dollars.<\/p>\n<p>What was omitted, although planned, on August 23, 1957 \u2013 to start broadcasting the television program on the Technical Fair opening date, was corrected a year later. On the first postwar Anniversary of the Fair of Technique and Technical Achievements, i.e. Belgrade Fair itself, as well as the 20<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary of the first Philips TV broadcasting from the studio situated at the Fair \u2013 TV Belgrade broadcasted its first show.<\/p>\n<p>It was Saturday, August 23, 1958 and the experimental program of TV Belgrade was started from the still incomplete studio.\u00a0 It was announced by Olivera \u017divkovi\u0107, \u00a0Radio Belgrade speaker. Olga Na\u0111 informed the spectators of the shows which would be on the program and then announced the the telecast of the opening of the International Fair of Technique and Technical Achievements. The first telecast was directed by Miroslav Dedi\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Belgrade Fair was twice significant also in the creation of the TV Belgrade, having at present also its Anniversary \u2013 in addition to the first studio, located within the Fair ground, a significant part of the program broadcasted on the first day was devoted to the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Fair of Technique and Technical Achievements opening and holding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this date as long ago as in 1957 \u2013 on August 23 six decades ago, the The First Postwar Technical Fair was opened in Belgrade.
