We greatly enjoyed our Capacity building in Srebrno Lake on importance of organizing Manifestation events for rural areas.

Srebrno Lake (Srebrno Jezero), located in eastern Serbia, is a popular tourist destination. The lake is an oxbow lake formed by the Danube River and is situated near the town of Veliko Gradište, around 110 km from Belgrade.

Its name, “Srebrno,” translates to “Silver,” referring to the silvery appearance of the water under sunlight. 🌅
