Serbia to Host Specialized EXPO 2027

Serbia has been chosen to host the renowned world’s fair Expo 2027, winning all four rounds of voting at the General Assembly of the International Bureau of Expositions (BIE) in Paris.

Serbia received the largest number of votes in all four rounds, and in the last round Serbia’s only opponent was Spain.

Our country was one of the five candidates for the organization of this fair, along the United States of America, Thailand, Spain and Argentina, and during the vote representatives of China supported the delegation of Serbia, with whom they cheered together, according to the website of the Government of Serbia.

The member states of BIE chose Serbia with 81 votes, compared to the 70 that Spain got, according to the official Twitter profile of BIE.

Let us remind that, while presenting Serbia’s candidacy to the delegates of BIE in Paris in April this year, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (CCIS), Marko Cadez said that the net value of the investment in EXPO 2027 was a total of EUR 300 million.

The EXPO 2027 complex, which includes the construction of the National Stadium and the accompanying accommodation, commercial capacities and exhibitions space, will spread on around 167 ha, according to the Decision on Determining the Spatial Plan of the Special-Purpose Area of the National Football Stadium from February 2023.

For the construction of the EXPO 2027 complex, 113 ha is planned, for the exhibitions space, 83.1 ha, for the side accommodation capacities, 6.9 ha, whereas the accompanying commercial features will spread on 22.9 ha. This comprises nearly 70% of the planned 167 ha. The rest consists of traffic areas, water, green and infrastructure surfaces.
