Within the framework of a visit to Belgrade, Serbia, Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili, explored the Belgrade Exhibition Centre, where she attended a multimedia presentation of the upcoming international exhibition – Expo 2027.

The Western Balkans region will host such a high-level international exhibition for the first time from April 15 to August 15, 2027. The theme of the exhibition is “Play for Humanity: Sport and Music for All”.

Georgia will be among the countries to participate in Expo 2027, showcasing its accomplishments in culture and sports to the international audience.

According to Mariam Kvrivishvili, Georgia’s participation in the exhibition will help increase the country’s popularity in Serbia and the Balkans, as organisers expect over 4 million visitors to attend the fair during its 93-day run.

“Direct flights with Belgrade contributed to cooperation between Georgia and Serbia in the tourism sector. During Expo 2027, hundreds of thousands of visitors will obtain information about Georgia’s culture and historical heritage and will become interested in Georgia. The opportunities that Serbia offers to Expo 2027 participants are impressive,” she said.

The international specialised fair Expo will be held under the auspices of the International Bureau of Exhibitions. More than 120 countries will participate in the exhibition.
