This year, according the information from tourism fairs across the Europe, where Tourist Organization of Belgrade and National Tourism Organization of Serbia promote the festival, we are expecting a record number of foreign visitors and visitors in general, and we hope that in five hot August nights a million fans of great fun will visit Beer Festival in Belgrade!
