On 19/06/2009, Privatization Agency tender commission opened
the only bid that arrived for purchase of Belgrade Fair of Consortium, Fair in Rimini
and "Verano Group'. In the next seven days, privatization consultant
'Cesmecon' will establish whether all necessary documentation has been
submitted, and during the next week the offered price will be known.
Privatization procedure implies that after the price is
being made known and obligatory investments are being accepted, negotiations on
social program should follow, and at the end of August, Belgrade Fair could
have a new owner. The consortium is not willing to talk about the price offered
for facilities of 106,241 square meters, including six fair halls with
exhibition space of 53,221 square meters.
- If Fair in Rimini and 'Verano Group' become owners of
Belgrade Fair, the first step will be reconstruction and enlargement of exhibition
space. We haven't yet studied a detailed urban plan and we are analyzing which
parts of the land that are included in the plan could really be used. We are
planning a meeting with Dragan Đilas, Belgrade Mayor, but our intention is to
stick to the detailed urban plans - Lorenzo Cagnoni, the President of Rimini
Fair Board of Directors says.
