Welcome to the 171st meeting of the COST CSO in Belgrade, one of Europe's oldest cities and the fourth largest city in Southeastern Europe. Some of the well-known city centre streets were traced out more than ten centuries ago. To walk through the city centre is to walk through history, which in many places can be breathed and touched.

Find your own favourite corner of Belgrade. There are places in Belgrade which you absolutely must see and experience for yourself: streets, squares, monuments, parks, fountains, archaeological sites and other interesting places worthy of recommendation. Many of these have been designated as cultural treasures.

Belgrade - City of the Future in Southern Europe

In March 2006, Belgrade was named the "City of the Future" in Southern Europe by Financial Times. The award also serves as a recommendation, from the most well-known financial newspaper in the world, of the best locations to invest in. The categories and the criteria on which the expert jury based their decision were economic potential, cost of doing business, human resources, transport, information technology and telecommunications, quality of life for foreign investors and the best promotional campaign to attract direct foreign investment.

Looking forward to welcome you in Belgrade,

Serbian delegation
