The “DDOR BG CAR SHOW 09” automobile fair and the 18th International Motorcycle Fair “Motopassion 2026” were officially opened today in Belgrade, marking one of the most significant regional events dedicated to mobility and the automotive industry. The fair was ceremonially opened by Mr. Fabrizio Giugiaro, one of the world’s most renowned automotive designers.

This year’s event is being held in a milestone year, as the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers celebrates 30 years of existence, as well as three decades of partnership with the Belgrade Fair.

Aleksandra Đurđević, President of the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers, emphasized that this year’s fair confirms both the strong transformation of the industry and the growth of the domestic market. She highlighted that a significant wave of new manufacturers has entered the market over the past two years—this year’s fair features 20 more car brands than in 2025, as well as 30 new motorcycle brands. This clearly reflects the increasing attractiveness of the Serbian market, as well as the ongoing transformation of the industry.

This year’s edition is one of the largest to date, with a total of 216 exhibitors in the automotive segment, representing 50 brands—42 of which are presenting 73 premieres—as well as 82 exhibitors in the motorcycle segment, featuring 46 brands and 32 premieres.
Electrification continues to play a key role, with more than 70 electric models across different categories on display, confirming the direction of the industry’s future development.

“This year’s DDOR BG Car Show and Motopassion are being held in a year when we celebrate 30 years of the Association’s existence and three decades of cooperation with the Belgrade Fair, which gives this event additional symbolic value and confirms the continuity of automotive industry development in Serbia,” Đurđević stated.
