Jagoda Lazarević, Minister of Internal and Foreign Trade and Commissioner General for Expo 2027 Belgrade, Danilo Jerinić, CEO of EXPO 2027 d.o.o. Beograd, and Sachiko Yoshimura, Commissioner of the Japanese Section, signed the Participation Contract for Japan’s participation in the Specialised Exhibition Expo 2027 Belgrade. The signing of the contract represents another important step in preparations for the exhibition and confirms the strong international interest in participating in the largest international event Serbia has ever organised.
The participants emphasised that Japan’s participation will further contribute to the international character of Expo 2027 and to strengthening cooperation between the two countries. It was also noted that the experience gained during Expo 2025 Osaka will be highly valuable for the organisation of the exhibition in Belgrade, and that there is significant interest among Japanese volunteers in taking part in the Expo 2027 programme.
“During Expo 2025 Osaka, we had the opportunity to gain valuable experience and to better understand all aspects involved in organising an event of this scale, from logistics and security to visitor management. We are already applying many of these lessons in our preparations for Expo 2027 Belgrade. I am particularly pleased by the strong interest shown by volunteers from Japan in becoming part of our project, which is further confirmation of the close relations between our two countries and of the international significance of Expo 2027,” said Danilo Jerinić, CEO of EXPO 2027 d.o.o. Beograd.
