MIĆIN AND BONDY DISCUSS STRONGER TIES BETWEEN NOVI SAD AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The Mayor of Novi Sad, Žarko Mićin, welcomed the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Republic of Serbia, H.E. Jan Bondy, at the City Hall. This was Ambassador Bondy’s first official visit to Novi Sad.

During the meeting, Mayor Mićin emphasized that Novi Sad is the IT hub of the region and, as the European Youth Capital in 2019 and the European Capital of Culture in 2022, and a candidate for European City of Sport in 2026, it represents a city with exceptional potential for cooperation with cities from the Czech Republic.

The discussion covered opportunities to enhance collaboration in the field of education and to strengthen economic ties through trade, investment, agriculture, culture, sports, and education.

Mićin and Bondy agreed that cooperation enables mutual growth, resource optimization, the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and technological solutions, and increases the competitiveness of cities. This, in turn, allows them to attract more investment, achieve accelerated economic development, and ensure a continuous rise in citizens’ living standards.
