EXPO 2027 Belgrade Highlights Tourism in Slovakia

On September 17, 2026, Serbia will engage Slovakia's travel industry during the "Visit Serbia B2B Networking" event held in Bratislava. This important meeting comes as part of Serbia's international promotional activities leading up to the much-anticipated EXPO 2027 Belgrade, the first Specialized Expo to be hosted in the Serbian capital. Scheduled to run from May 15 to August 15 in 2027, the event aims to present Serbia not only as a vibrant tourist destination but also as a hotspot for business investments.

A Platform for Partnership

The event in Bratislava is designed to explore potential cross-border cooperation between Serbia and Slovakia. Attendees will include prominent figures from both the tourism and business sectors, notably Igor Kovačević, Executive Director of EXPO 2027 Belgrade, and Lukáš Parízek, the Commissioner General for Slovakia at EXPO 2027. Their goal is to share insights about the burgeoning business landscape in Serbia and highlight how Slovakia could benefit from enhanced collaboration during and after the expo.

This meeting will afford stakeholders the chance to engage in targeted B2B meetings, encouraging partnerships that transcend borders. A digital platform will aid in connecting businesses, allowing for seamless communication and arrangements for future collaborations. Participants will also gain an in-depth understanding of the many investment opportunities available in Serbia.

Strengthening Economic Ties

Recent statistics underline the strengthening economic bond between Serbia and Slovakia, with bilateral trade reaching approximately EUR 1.3 billion in 2025, marking a notable increase of 15% compared to the previous year. This growth has established Serbia as Slovakia's top trading partner in the Western Balkans.

Furthermore, Slovakia was the first nation to sign a Participation Contract for EXPO 2027 Belgrade, demonstrating their commitment to playing an active role in this international event. The positive trajectory of economic relations suggests that both countries are poised for greater collaboration, especially in the tourism sector.
