On the occasion of the 80th<\/sup> Anniversary of Belgrade Fair operation beginning, on September 11, 1937, this really global Anniversary was celebrated by the appropriate festivity at the Sava Promenade, with the view to the place on the other bank of the Sava, where the Fair opened its gates for visitors.<\/p>\n

The festivity was attended by public life guests from various branches \u2013 economic, political, cultural, sport, show business, media, etc.<\/p>\n

Welcoming the guests and media representatives and reminding of the 80 years of Belgrade Fair tradition, this company\u2019s CEO Danka Seli\u0107 first recommended the installed exhibition of the Fair history, \u201cwhich is the witness of the successful business years since 1937, when the first event was held, up to the present\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said the location of the festivity was not selected by coincidence: \u201cJust in front of us, exactly across the river Sava, is the old Fair symbol, the venue of the Fair establishing as long ago as in 1937 and on this side, slightly upstream, the present Fair is located, established in 1957\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Eighty years of Belgrade Fair, established just on this date, is a great Anniversary; the successful tradition we are proud of, but which obliges us, as well; positive and encouraging results behind us \u2013 all this is what makes us the most respected exhibition institution in this part of Europe. Belgrade Fair is modernized continuously, we work hard to keep the continuity, we create new events and expand the existing ones. In 2016, we held 40 events in total, in 2017 the Fair calendar plans 48 events to be held, i.e. eight more than in the previous year. Only in the first half of this year\u2019s calendar we have already held 23 of them\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Belgrade Fair pays considerable attention to the Fairground maintenance, but also the whole infrastructure, which is permanent and very serious job, with the effects noticed by all those using our services. There is a new look of the pedestrian entrance into Belgrade Fair, purchase of the new car totems, as well as the decision of the halls 7, 8 and 9 reconstruction and their return to the original purpose. All this with the important note Belgrade Fair does not use the public budget funds and we finance all investments, even the capital ones, only from the income we accomplish at this competitive market\u201d, said Danka Seli\u0107.<\/p>\n
