The event called “Grad Evrope”, which is a part of the celebration of Europe Day in Serbia, was held at the Nikola Pasic Square in Belgrade. A large number of citizens used the opportunity to spend a sunny Saturday by becoming familiar with the culture, history, and tradition of the countries of the European Union, playing basketball, and enjoying many other activities. The event, part of the campaign #EUzaTebe, was officially opened by the Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia, Ambassador Sem Fabrizi, Romanian Ambassador Oana Cristina Popa, Mayor of Belgrade Zoran Radojičić, as well as former basketball players Nataša Kovačević and Dejan Tomašević. Ambassador Fabrizi said that the cultural diversity that visitors have had the opportunity to see is an essential European value. He pointed out that the European Union is not with Serbia only on the Day of Europe, on May 9th, but every day. “I sincerely hope that the citizens of Belgrade today feel closer to the European Union because we want to be closer to you and to tell you our stories, which are also yours. Tales of unity in Europe, peace, and harmony and looking to a better future”, the ambassador said.
