Novi Sad is a city in which large foreign tech companies, research and development centers are flourishing, but also a city of extraordinary domestic smart companies, our people who are world leaders when it comes to innovations – she said.

As part of the multimedia program within the ceremony, the tradition of Novi Sad and Vojvodina was presented in the light of European values, the thread which runs through the entire program of Novi Sad as the European Capital of Culture through a total of eight thematically oriented program arcs.

The music and dance spectacle at the Serbian National Theater features eminent representatives of the cultural scene of Novi Sad and Vojvodina. The event was directed by Aleksandar Nikolic, the music was composed by the Novi Sad-based instrumentalist and musician Boris Kovac, and the program was hosted by actors from the Serbian National Theater, Jovana Balasevic and Vasa Stajkic.
