BIJELJINA TO HOST "BELGRADE-BANJA LUKA" BICYCLE RACE

Bijeljina will host the "Belgrade-Banja Luka" bicycle race for the 16th time, contributing to the organization of one of the largest and longest-standing international sports events in the region, as announced by the City Administration.

Vladimir Kuvalja, the race director, stated during today's contract signing with representatives of the City Administration that Bijeljina is the heartbeat of this race.

Without Bijeljina, this race would not have survived in its current form and would not have sent a message of unity between Serbia and the Republika Srpska, emphasized Kuvalja.

He mentioned that the 140-kilometer stage will take place on April 18th, with cyclists crossing the Drina River without stopping at border crossings and arriving in Bijeljina in the afternoon.

We, as the race organizers, are proud to partner with the city of Bijeljina, and this is an opportunity every time to showcase Bijeljina to the whole world, Kuvalja stated.

He emphasized that Semberija has much to offer in terms of tourism and added that he is confident that the race participants will be satisfied.

Kuvalja announced that a cycling event for children will also be held in Bijeljina, with prizes for the best participants.
