Belgrade Berry Festival to Be Held from June 29 to July 2

The first fair of berry fruits will be held in Belgrade between June 29 and July 2, the Chamber of Commerce of Serbia (CCIS) announced today.

– The idea of the Belgrade Berry Festival is to present what Serbia is known for in the world, which are berries, that is, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. These are all things that we export in great quantities and something that has positioned our country as a major force in that field – Veljko Jovanovic, a representative of the CCIS, stated at a press conference.

The festival is backed by the CCIS and the German Development Cooperation in Serbia (GIZ), and the festival’s partners are the Tourism Organization of Serbia (TOS) and the Ministry of Agriculture.

A representative of GIZ, Zagorka Markovic, said that organic agriculture had been the focus of their project for over 15 years.

– We have done plenty of different activities with the CCIS, whereby our focus is moving from organic to exclusively sustainable agriculture. In that sense, we are very happy to support an innovative concept – she said.

She emphasized that the festival would also focus on green transformation, as well as educating citizens about sustainable agriculture.
