Professor Ilija Srdanovic, the first candidate on the electoral list "Student List" spoke about the plans this group that on Sunday won the parliamentary election in Serbia has for EXPO 2027, the beginning of which has been announced for May 15, 2027 in Belgrade.

In an interview with the BBC, he said that it was an international project and that "there are certain guarantees that Serbia has given as a country".

"We will coordinate everything that is necessary in accordance with the international obligations we have undertaken. But what is much more important in Serbia is what is left for the Serbian citizen from EXPO? Where will he see his interest in EXPO? Can we secure benefits for the citizens of Serbia through this project? It is not a part of our student plan. It only relates to the part of creating institutions that function and can, in a high-quality manner, transparently check the flow of money for all public investments," said Srdanovic.

The EXPO 2027 complex in Surcin, Beglrade, represents one of the most extensive investment projects in the recent history of Serbia, which includes a new fairground, the National Stadium, the accompanying railway and road infrastructure, as well as thousands of new housing units.

The residential complex alone will have 160,000 square meters, or 1,500 apartments.

The Aquatics Center is also planned, which, as announced, will be a modern complex dedicated to water sports, along with accompanying infrastructure.
