Wine Fair “Wine Vision by Open Balkans” Opens – 467 Small Wineries in Serbia Drivers of Development of Wine Industry

The second international wine fair "Wine Vision by Open Balkans", under the auspices of the governments of the Republic of Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania, was opened yesterday within the "Open Balkans" initiative.

On this occasion, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic pointed out that small wineries were the drivers of Serbia’s wine industry development, and stated that Serbia now had 467 small wineries, and that their number had increased tenfold compared to five years before.

According to him, some of those small wineries have contributed to enriching the poorer parts of Serbia in an extraordinary way, as said on the website of the Government of Serbia.

During the four days of the “Wine Vision” fair, Belgrade will gather more than 600 exhibitors from numerous wineries, distilleries, gastronomic companies from more than 28 countries, which is twice as many exhibitors as last year.

Half of the exhibitors will be from member countries of the "Open Balkans", namely 260 from Serbia, 74 from North Macedonia and 21 from Albania. In addition, this year’s fair has been joined by wine makers from all over the world.
