ATHENS, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greek and Serbian business and tourism representatives gathered today for a B2B networking event ahead of EXPO 2027 Belgrade, the first Specialised Expo in the Western Balkans.
Igor Kovačević, EXPO 2027 Belgrade’s Chief Operating Officer, presented the exhibition. A press conference featured Greece’s Section Commissioner General Dimitrios Skalkos, followed by a panel discussion with Marinos Giannopoulos.
“I am confident that EXPO 2027 Belgrade is on track to deliver a successful event. Over 93 days, we bring together a rich and diverse programme of events, connecting countries, businesses and people from around the world. In today’s interconnected world, EXPO 2027 serves as a platform for collaboration, shared experiences and lasting impact,” said Kovačević.

For the travel sector, discussions centered on building comprehensive, bookable itineraries that combine EXPO attendance with cultural events, city stays, and broader travel across Serbia.
By connecting business and tourism leaders, the event set the stage for sustainable commercial offerings and extended travel experiences built around one of the region’s largest international gatherings.
