participants from 18 European countries who entered the competition this
year.
The opening ceremony was organized at the Congress Hall of the “Konak”
hotel at Kopaonik. At the beginning, the guests were greeted by the songs
and dances of the Cultural Artistic Society “Krsmanac”, and then the present
were addressed by HRH Crown Prince Alexander II.
He expressed his pleasure for this traditional competition has been
organized at the beautiful mountain of Kopaonik, and for it has provided an
opportunity for the participants to spend time together in the snow and in
the wonderful nature of Kopaonik.
“You who control the sky, know how unnecessary the borders on the ground
are. This country was closed behind her borders for a long time. That was a
great shame for our people, as well as for our guests who were deprived of
this lovely nature and enjoying in it. That is why I am happy to see the
flight controllers from abroad here today, as an advance party to all who
are going to discover this mountain.
I also hope that you will be successful on skies today, like you are
successful in the sky, and that there will be no forced landings” –
emphasized the Crown Prince in his speech and proclaimed the competition
opened.
