The opening was also attended by Mrs Savka Gojkovic, mother of the Speaker of the Parliament, members of diplomatic corps and many other distinguished guests.
Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Katherine pointed out in her speech: “All the proceeds are intended for these brave women and their families. Please invite your friends to visit this remarkable event”.
On behalf of the Government of Serbia, the gathering was addressed by Mr. Vladimir Cucic, the Commissioner for Refugees, who thanked the Foundation of HRH Crown Princess Katherine and all those who have contributed to the success of the Charity Bazaar.
