3rd Delta Generali BG Car Show and 5th International Fair of Motorcycles and Bicycles have been opened on Monday, 8th March, at noon. Under the slogan "Reveal Your Wishes" and with the participation of 370 exhibitors from the country and abroad, these two shows will last until Sunday, 14th March.

"It is my privilege to open this Fair in Belgrade despite the World economic crisis", said Slobodan Milosavljevic, Minister of Trade, Tourism and Services in the Serbian Government, at the Opening Ceremony.

“It has been a great success at this moment to have provided the budget, bring the premiers and show them not only to Belgrade, but also to the whole of the region. I do believe that this year will be the turning point for the car industry, mentioning as well a brave decision to organise the 2010 Car Show together with signing a contract between Zastava and FIAT, which will put Serbia on this map permanently”.

With the remark that these Fairs are also the events of entertainment and pleasure, Milosavljevic said he expected the Serbian economy and trade were on their way of recovery and that banks and leasing companies would enable the citizens to purchase the new cars with affordable conditions.

On behalf of Delta Generali, the title sponsor of this year’s CAR SHOW, Nebojsa Divljan, General Manager, said:

"We have actively supported the holding of this event and are proud that we are the sponsors for the third time.

The car industry cannot be destroyed and I do believe that next year the period of crisis will only remain in our memory. I congratulate Belgrade Fair and all the exhibitors who have not given up the CAR SHOW and I sincerely hope it will bring full commercial success".
