🇨🇦✈️ A Historic Moment for Canada–Serbia Relations!

Embassy of Canada to Serbia hosted an inspiring reception celebrating the new Belgrade–Toronto direct flight — a milestone that strengthens business, economic, cultural, and diaspora connections.

💬 Ambassador Michelle Cameron:
“Direct flights are much more than a fantastic convenience. Someone can sit in their office in downtown Belgrade on Wednesday morning, enjoy a cup of domestic coffee while preparing for meetings, and already the next day hold important and successful business discussions in Toronto’s financial district — followed by a walk near Niagara Falls and a selfie next to the Canadian monument to Nikola Tesla.”

💬 Key messages from our speakers:

✈️ Mr. Jiri Marek, CEO Air Serbia:
The third North American destination after 34 years brings major benefits for business, the diaspora, and travelers across the region.

🤝 Ms. Nevena Jovanović, State Secretary, MFA Serbia:
This route is a remarkable achievement that deepens the long-standing friendship between Serbia and Canada.

🌐 Ms. Mirjana Dončić-Beaton, Managing Director, CANSEE:
Proud of 10 years of partnership with PKS and the Canadian Leader Project with Ivey Business School — now even more connected with direct flights from Toronto to Belgrade.

📈 Mr. Mihajlo Vesović, Deputy Director, PKS:
A new opportunity for stronger economic cooperation between our countries.

🎉 After the formal program, guests enjoyed a festive Business Networking Reception, co-hosted with CANSEE.

🙏 Thank you to all our partners, friends, and members for a challenging and successful 2025.
✨ Happy Holidays & all the best!
