Aleksandar Vucic, the president of the Republic of Serbia, will receive the representatives of "Aleksandrov" on Friday.

- After last year's airline tragedy, the reconstructed "Aleksandrov" ensemble will perform in Belgrade and Serbia on Friday evening at the Sava Center, Deputy Mayor Andreja Mladenovic said at a press conference in the Old Palace.

On that occasion, he thanked the Minister of Culture Vladan Vukosavljevic on the initiative to name the park without a formal name after Russian Army Ensemble, which the Commission for the Appointment of Squares and Streets of the City of Belgrade was pleased to accept.

City Culture Secretary Ivona Jevtic said that each of the performances of the ensemble "Aleksandrov" in the Serbian capital was a special experience for the local audience, with the remark that one of the performances was during the time of the sanctions, and the second immediately after the bombing of Serbia in 1999.

THE IDEA EXISTED FOR A LONG TIME 

Representatives of the Russian Embassy and the Russian House in Belgrade thanked for this initiative and pointed out that the naming of a park after the Russian Army Ensemble "Aleksandrov" reflects the very good relations between the two nations. 

The event was also attended by the President of the Commission for the Appointment of Squares and the Streets of City of Belgrade Jasmina Mitrovic Maric, who pointed out that the idea of naming the park after the "Aleksandrov" ensemble in our capital existed even earlier, but last year's tragedy accelerated the process.
