We believe that the values of Vojvodina and Serbia, not only when it comes to tourism, but when it comes to many things, we will not save either effort, time, or money, to promote them. It was not difficult for us to start the Blue train, bring our friends from embassies from many countries here, the media… Some of the most beautiful parts of Europe are in Vojvodina, Serbia. I think that our mission is ahead of you, our friends from abroad, the media, and in front of ourselves, we promote our country and say that these are places where something nice can be seen, where you can rest and in which you will find friends. ”
