IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All details regarding exhibition conditions at the fair are available on the SPOS website https://spos.info/konacni-program-xvii-drzavnog-pcelarskog-sajma and in the Srpski pčelar magazine, October 2025 issue, pp. 529-534.
Due to numerous abuses of SPOS ID cards (members giving cards to non-members, or one member distributing multiple cards), SPOS has upgraded the entrance control system. This will no longer be possible.
You will now have to scan your ID card when exiting the fair, exactly as you do upon entry.
If you do not scan your ID card when leaving, neither you nor anyone else will be able to use it to re-enter the fair.
DO NOT FORGET YOUR SPOS IDENTIFICATION CARD
With it, you have free entry to the 17th National Beekeeping Fair.
For all others, the ticket price is 500 RSD per entry.
