HRH Crown Prince Alexander: The time has come for us to work hard and focus on the fundamentals. We must double the efforts we are making in order to improve our legal and financial infrastructure. We have to introduce novel concepts and use our intellectual capacity wisely. We must invest in the future and improve our system of education. We have to give publicity to our business opportunities and present them to foreign investors. Cooperation with foreign investors will enable us to see the projects through by introducing fresh forces and responsibilities. This is why BelRE plays such an important role. The previous fairs aided in the realisation of various business endeavours, and I am certain that this year's fair will bear just as many fruits for both the foreign investors and our local businesses. (BelRE 2008)

Srđan Vujčić, Director of King Sturge, This is the Third BelRE Fair and we sincerely support every intent to present investments in the Serbian real estate market in the best possible light. BelRE shares its concept with all other international fairs. I hope that we will see some more foreign investors next year and I hope that, despite the hard times ahead, we will also have the opportunity to offer exclusive investments in the Serbian real estate market. (BelRE 2008)

Milan Marinković, Director, FIMA invest, These fairs are a fantastic way to develop business relations between all participants in the financial market - both the investors and those interested in securing the funding for realisation of their projects. There are many truly interesting projects showcased at the BelRE, both for those who have extra capital they are ready to invest for profit, and for the financial consumers who wish to enjoy fine real estate and real estate projects for business or private purposes. This type of networking connects business people and these fairs often serve as a source for my many business contacts and interesting business relationships in the following year. (BelRE 2008)

Bojan Stanojeviæ, director Boyden doo, (City Manager 2004-2008): This is the second year that this Fair is being organized, and the City of Belgrade is providing the Fair with all necessary institutional support. We believe that the real-estate boom which has happened in Belgrade, in the field of both business and residential space, will continue, and a place such as BelRE is really needed in order to provide an annual meeting point for supply, demand, and all other aspects of commerce which are offering additional services, loans for citizens, and project financing. The fact that this year's Real Estate and Investment Fair has doubled the number of its exhibitors makes it clear that Belgrade has experienced a construction boom. My wish is for the investments to be spread equally over all of Serbia's municipalities instead of being retained in Belgrade only. (BelRE 2007)

Aleksandar Vlahović, Eki Investment, former Minister for Privatisation : I am certain that this part of Europe shows promise and that large investors are watching this part of the Balkans with great care. (BelRE 2007)

Slobodan Mihajlović, Director Blok 67 Associates, speaks his mind on the subject of BelRE: Fairs are very important for the real estate sector, because they allow us to follow the trends in this field. I believe that events of this type are necessary. BelRE is definitely a place to exchange experiences and meet partners. I hope that we will have so many exhibitors next year that we will have to move into the Fair's largest hall. BelRE has a regional perspective and is the right place for foreign investors who can obtain high-quality information in one spot, because all participants in this industry are gathered in one place. (BelRE 2008)

Vesna Perić, director of the Serbian Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SIEPA): Certainly, Belgrade and Serbia need a project such as BelRE, considering the expansion of investments in the field of real estate. A fair is always an excellent opportunity to present the current trends in an area, as well as to conduct business. I hope that in the coming years, as we continue our development, BelRE will grow into a true international fair with a regional importance, and the SIEPA will, on its part, continue to offer its full support. At the end of the day, Belgrade is the natural centre of this region, and it can thus be expected for BelRE to soon become the chief regional real estate fair. (BelRE 2007)

Milan Parivodić, one of the partners in Wolf Theiss and the Prime Minister's Advisor for Economic Issues said that it is important for the State to carry out certain reforms, privatisation, to return the city building land to its original owners in order to accelerate the development process. (BelRE 2007)

Djordje Bobić, architect in the Slavija Biro company (Chief Architect of the City of Belgrade 2004-2008) has shown his support for BelRE in the past two years: This Fair holds great importance for Belgrade and our country. The goal of this fair is to establish communication. When you take your projects and your proposals to a fair abroad, you are on the margin, one of many such exhibitors. It is a completely different matter when those foreigners come to Belgrade, have a chance to feel the atmosphere, and see it with their very own eyes. This is why this Fair is so important.

Dr. Herbert Preclik, The Austrian Commercial Counsellor
BelRE will provide the foreign investors with an opportunity to gain new information and a more clear picture of Serbia's emerging real estate sector which is experiencing explosive growth. (BelRE 2007)
