“I am especially glad that tolerance will be in our focus, as it is best learned through sport and positive role models”, the principle of Jovan Ristic Primary School Mileta Djordjevic said.
“When I was a coach of Panathinaikos, we spoke 7 different languages in the locker rooms. However, that didn’t stop us from being brothers”, President of the Olympic Committee of Serbia and former basketball coach Bozidar Maljkovic said.
Under the slogan #BeActive, the European Week of Sport takes place between 23 and 30 September all over Serbia with the aim of raising awareness of a healthy lifestyle and the importance of sport and physical activities.
