The 5th meeting of WLAS in Belgrade finished and all participants returned home. It was wonderful to meet with so many members of the society from different countries personally and to find new friendships. We spent a wonderful time in a wonderful city with many kind people. 

We visited the most important parts of Belgrade, met kind people and now we know and understand better the people from Belgrade and also from Serbia. 

The meeting confirmed we have nice cooperation and positive relationship. We can say our hobby joins the nations together and we can better understand eachother.  We were looking for new ideas of the group and for the ways how to find new members from various corners of the world to realize the international cooperation among more nations.

The part of the meeting was also the exchanging of autographs, experiences, ideas and opinions. The participants brought from Belgrade new signatures, new experiences, some souvenirs and many photos. We all will look back for a long time.

You can find more about the meeting in the section Our meetings - Belgrade 2017. We decided to have the next meeting in the capital of Belarus. 

We wish to all people from Serbia good luck and a lot of success.
