BELGRADE - Belgrade's tourism revenue rose by about 100 mln euros in the first six months of this year compared to the same period of 2016, with about a million overnight stays registered, which is a record result, Tourist Organisation of Belgrade Director Miodrag Popovic said on Monday.

PRAGUE - The number of Czech tourists who have visited Belgrade rose only 3 to 4 pct in eight months, which is why the Tourism Organization of Belgrade presented the potential of the Serbian capital to this market for the first time in ten years.

As of February, BIRN's English language newspaper, Belgrade Insight, will no longer be distributed at one of the paper's biggest distribution points - Tourist Organisation of Belgrade centres.

While distribution of the free newspaper has also halted at Dufry outlets at Nikola Tesla Airport, negotiations with this company remain ongoing.

BELGRADE - The festival of the Russian-Serbian culture has opened at Belgrade gallery Progres, and the visitors will have an opportunity to see and buy Russian crafts products.

The festival was opened on Tuesday by Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Chepurin, who expressed hope that one day Serbian crafts products will be presented in Russia.

More and more Bulgarian tourists choose the Serbian capital Belgrade for short holidays or the so-called city breaks.

For the first five months of 2014 the number of Bulgarians, who have traveled to the Serbian capital, increased by 60 percent on an annual basis, said Miodrag Popovic, Director of the Tourist Organization of Belgrade, as quoted by Dnevnik.
