CARLSBERG COMPANY AWARDS GRANTS

Novi Sad Mayor Miloš Vučević attended the grant awarding of the brand "Lav" and the Carlsberg Company in Serbia to the PUC “Animal Hygiene and Veterinary Novi Sad", which was selected by the citizens of Novi Sad within the "Lavovski poduhvat" campaing.

The campaign "Lavovski poduhvat " lasted from 1st September to 1st October 2014 when the citizens of Novi Sad had the opportunity to vote for one of three projects that were considered as the most important for their City. The citizens of Novi Sad chose to help the Animal Shelter, and Carlsberg donated specialized vehicle for transportation of animals as well as plants for landscaping of the surface provided for shelter dog running.

- It is my great pleasure to have the opportunity to participate in the “Lavovski poduhvat” campaign as the citizens of Novi Sad, with their votes last September, with over 15.000 votes chose for the Carlsberg’s aid to be directed to Animal Shelter. On this occasion, I am also expressing my gratitude to the Carlsberg Company’s investment in the community where it operates and because it recognizes the importance of the social responsibility. By demonstrating the corporate social responsibility they have also shown that they care about improving the quality of life of our fellow citizens – the Mayor said, adding that he hopes that other companies will follow the example of Carlsberg, as well.

The event was attended by the Marketing Manager of Carlsberg Serbia Mr. Srđan Popović who, on this occasion, said that the main goal of the campaign was to help local communities of Vojvodina by providing grants for the realization of projects that are of importance to the citizens. In addition to Novi Sad, the "Lavovski poduhvat" campaign took part in the cities of Zrenjanin and Bačka Palanka.
