In addition to planting, we also greened 17 cities across Serbia, and this phase was also marked by numerous activities, primarily for the youngest. In this season, education was conducted in 5 kindergartens, and the children had the opportunity to plant lavender, immortelle and rosemary, made hotels for insects and listened to education about bees. In addition, all elementary schools in Serbia received two pine seedlings to plant in their yards, and the yard of the Medical School in Zemun was also greened.

So far, we have planted 600,000 seedlings, and in addition, thanks to the media power of our company Adria Media Group and various educational activities within the project, we managed to raise public awareness of the importance of the environment and inspired others to initiate numerous similar actions. We are especially proud that we have awakened unity in people and, with the support of our employees, institutional partners, numerous volunteers and public figures, enabled everyone who wants to contribute to making our country greener and healthier to live in. We continue with the same enthusiasm and new goals, because this is our way of showing our responsibility towards the community in which we live and work,” said Ana Aleksić.
