Leskovac – future capital of culture, development of southern Serbia
Leskovac,
20 October 2025
As stated, the integrated development of Serbia unites tourism, culture, innovation and sustainability, with the goal of bringing visitors to Expo 2027 not only to Belgrade but also to sites a few hours away from the capital through the revitalisation of cultural-historical and natural heritage sites throughout Serbia.
Expo 2027 will provide an opportunity for Belgrade to become the central point of international meetings and partnerships, but also for the whole of Serbia to showcase its cultural, economic and tourism potential.
A new cycle of development projects is planned for next year, aimed at further improving infrastructure, tourism and the economy of southern Serbia.
Planned projects include the second phase of the Hisar Hill revitalisation, construction of a fruit and vegetable storage and distribution centre in the Green Zone industrial zone in Leskovac, reconstruction of the square and the Theodora Bridge in Lebane, construction of the road across Mount Radan leading to Caričin Grad (Empress’ Town), reconstruction and extension of Sijarinska Spa and the Gejzer Special Hospital, as well as the adaptation of the Theodora Visitor Centre into a hotel, among many others.
In the coming period, integrated development activities will also focus on the eastern part of Serbia – the areas of Knjaževac, Pirot, Stara Planina (Old Mountain) and the Danube basin – whose natural, cultural and human potential represents an important resource for more balanced regional development and improving the quality of life across the country.
Many of these projects in southern and eastern Serbia are being implemented with the financial support of the European Union, representing an example of successful partnership between domestic institutions and international partners in carrying out initiatives of importance for local communities.
