Belgrade Fair: Economic Event Initiator

The tradition longer than eight decades, the modern time spirit and the orientation to be always in the focus of corporate events, made Belgrade Fair the largest and most successful trade fair institution in Serbia and the Southeast Europe. Through its events, Belgrade Fair “brought” to Belgrade and Serbia countless worldwide manufacturers in various fields and economic branches, featured many latest top quality technologies and products and the world premieres are not rare, either.

The highest level method of event organizing and the level of the services provided by it enabled numerous events to be received into various renowned worldwide organizations and associations. The sign of the International Fair Union – UFI is carried by six large events – the Building, Technical, Furniture, Book, Tourism and Energy Fairs. The Motor Show is a member of the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers – OICA.

Belgrade Fair is a member of the Central European Fair Alliance (CEFA).

Let’s not forget either that in the last few years, Belgrade Fair modernized most of its halls and the entire outdoor space was completely rearranged and turned into a contemporary and pleasant “Meeting Point”, which is the motto of this company, as well.

A very important Belgrade Fair’s “investment” is creation and fostering of partnership relations to the exhibitors and visitors. This is a permanent orientation, since the attitude of all employees is that a successful business is the person creating it, which means that cooperation and trust are the basis of any good business.

The Belgrade Fair is a large complex of three large domes and a dozen of smaller halls which is the location of the major trade fairs in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia. It is located in the municipality of Savski Venac, on the right bank of the Sava river. One of the most recognizable landmarks of Belgrade, it is colloquially referred to only as Sajam.

Sajam is located on the Sava’s right bank, in the western foothills of the Topčidersko Brdo and the neighborhood of Senjak, built on it. The Topčiderka river flows into the Sava, in the Bay of Čukarica, just south of the fair complex, while Novi Beograd and the peninsula of Mala Ciganlija are just across the Sava, which is at this point the narrowest (200 m (660 ft)).

Origin:

Originally, complex was built as the modern neighborhood of Sajmište in Novi Beograd, across the Sava, and opened on 11 November 1937. As it was turned into the Sajmište concentration camp during the World War II, it was not reconstructed after 1945. City government selected three possible locations for the new fair and in 1953 the location of Šest Topola (“Six Poplars”), a former beach on the right Sava bank was chosen, in the westernmost extension of the neighborhood of Bara Venecija. This was confirmed by the city administration’s decision on 13 May 1953.
