Mr Zoran Gajić, Minister of Sport in the Government of the Republic of Serbia, members of the Managing and Executive Boards of Postal Savings Bank, and a delegation of the Volleyball Association of Serbia were present at the ceremonial signing of the agreement.

Expressing his satisfaction that the Bank continues its successful cooperation with the Volleyball Association of Serbia, that was started four years ago, Mr Bojan Kekić pointed out the following: "Sponsorship is pledging your name and reputation into someone’s potential, their possible success. Usually, these decisions are not easy to make unless you come across champions, what happened to us, not only by the result, but also by the method of work, faith, focus, principle and dedication. Without volleyball players, both women and men, though the bank, we would be poorer. With us, your successes gain a completely new, clear and tangible value. Together, we represent to this country a platform for a rich, great future and success.That is why we are still together today and we are continuing even stronger."

Mr Đula Mešter is convinced that with this agreement they are opening new possibilities for successful results and creating new champions, and that the Association will "return" by bringing new medals to our country.

The minister, Mr Zoran Gajić, estimated that the cooperation between Postal Savings Bank and the Volleyball Association of Serbia is a real example of connecting economy and sport, and invited businessmen to promote themselves through sport. "We have a lot of sports, both individual and collective ones, that deserve to have such good sponsors", said minister Gajić.

From 2018, Postal Savings Bank has been a general sponsor of the Volleyball Association of Serbia, i.e. of volleyball national teams, all club competitions and development of volleyball in Serbia.

The contemporary fine art scene is our pledge for the future. Therefore, it is necessary to support and monitor its development. For the fifth year in a row, Art Salon is doing exactly that. The goal of their, already traditional, event "Fine Arts Salon" is to nurture aesthetic and fine art culture. A special emphasis on artists with disabilities encourages the sensitization of the environment for diversity. This year, at least 12 prominent painters and sculptors will participate in the Art Salon, and the education of children and young people is also planned as part of specially organized workshops. Postal Savings Bank joined other donors and supported this initiative with a donation in the amount of RSD 800,000.00.
In the promotion of contemporary art within the Art Salon, guests will have plenty to enjoy from September 23 to October 13, 2013.

21. All for art, art for all!

Humans have always sought to express themselves creatively and thus analyze and accept the world. The modern world and its speed need art more than ever. That is why the Bank strives to support initiatives that nurture and develop the artistic tendencies of individuals. "YOUTH COUNCIL OF THE KOVAČICA MUNICIPALITY" is a non-governmental organization that deals with informal education of young people. One of the Council's projects is the International Art Colony "Kovačica Art 2013", which is organized with the aim of promoting art, creativity and multiculturalism. A nice idea, created a few years ago, has grown into a tradition that helps develop friendship between different nations and cultures. This year, 12 academic and naïve painters are participating in the art colony, who will selflessly share their vast knowledge and experience with over 60 young artists up to 30 years of age during one week in May. Postal Savings Bank supported this creative event with a donation in the amount of RSD 90,000.00.
For a more beautiful life and art!
