He expressed confidence that the event in Belgrade will be an exceptional occasion with significant impacts on Serbia, the region, and humankind as a whole.
Kerkentzes highlighted that, during the selection of the host for the Specialized Exhibition EXPO 2027, BIE member states carefully considered proposals from the U.S., Spain, Argentina, Thailand, and Serbia. He noted that everyone in Serbia should take pride in convincing the world of its readiness to host the exhibition and garnering attention with its original theme, "Play for Humanity – Sports and Music for All."
"Given that no EXPO has ever been held in the Western Balkans, this success is even more significant for the entire region," he emphasized.
The Director of the company "Expo 2027," Dusan Borovcanin, handed over the flag of the specialized exhibition Expo to the Prime Minister of Serbia and the envoy of the President of the Republic, Miloš Vucevic.

AutorSpeaking about the criteria for host selection, Kerkentzes explained that member states base their decisions on investigative mission reports, the attractiveness and relevance of the proposed theme, and bilateral relations with candidate countries.
He stated that, before voting, all projects were thoroughly reviewed to ensure feasibility, compliance with EXPO regulations, and the theme’s relevance as a global inspiration for humankind.
"The theme presented by Serbia, centered on play, emphasizes creativity and problem-solving, which are universally important. Along with the theme, Serbia’s project was supported because it invites countries to participate in an international exhibition in a region that has not previously hosted one. This was undoubtedly a key factor for many BIE member states, as it represents an opportunity for broader regional cooperation," Kerkentzes said.
He described the theme of EXPO 2027 as highly original and creative, offering participants a significant opportunity to reflect on what play means to them.
Kerkentzes added that the number of international participants at such exhibitions has varied over time, depending on interest in the theme and broader geopolitical contexts. He assessed that strong international support for Serbia’s project, both for the theme and for hosting the first EXPO in this part of Europe, is very promising.
"I am confident that the goal of attracting 100 participating countries will be far exceeded. However, I always like to remind EXPO organizers that the most important aspect is not the number of participants but the quality of the content. With an original theme that has sparked significant global interest, the potential for beautiful, impressive, and inspiring exhibits is very high," he noted.
