NEWS FLASH
The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, has announced that he has requested for the country’s state-owned flag carrier Uganda Airlines to seek partnership and cooperation with Air Serbia in order for the two states to fast-track business, tourism, and personal exchanges. The remarks were made by the President while meeting a group of officials from his Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development. Uganda Airlines has a fleet of six aircraft, including two Airbus A330-800s and four CRJ900s. Earlier this month, Uganda announced it had selected Serbia as its main partner in Southeast Europe. President Museveni is set to open the country’s Uganda Connect office, as well as a Uganda Hub shop in Belgrade’s Waterfront neighbourhood in the coming weeks. Uganda was the third-largest foreign market for the Serbian construction industry last year.
Now watch Uganda Airlines announce Belgrade as its first European destination in a few months :D
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing, because Uganda Airlines have flights to Zanzibar which is becoming more and more popular destination in Africa. :D
ReplyDeleteThere is a "Uganda Connect" office currently being fitted out in Belgrade Waterfront. Somewhat bizzare.
ReplyDeleteEleborate why is that bizarre?
DeleteFrom my point of view, we have nothing to connect to in Uganda. But hey, live long and prosper.
DeleteFrom my point of view, we have everything to connect to in Uganda. So live long and prosper.
DeleteLong live SerboUgandan brotherhood!
DeletePoorly executed attempt to be funny.
DeleteCalm down Karen!
DeleteLove how Serbian market is becoming multifaceted. Makes things interesting and breaks the monotony.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteWe may laugh, but this is the way "shit happens".
ReplyDeleteWho knows.
Fascinating. Uganda? Who would of thought?
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought that in this day and age people still think that it's pronounced "would of"
DeleteRelax. This is not a test in either English grammar or pronunciation. Even Barack Obama used to begin his sentences with " come to find out..."
DeleteBelgrade is getting Uganda flights whilst Ljubljana's getting Rwanda ones lol!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.exyuaviation.com/2023/03/slovenia-seeks-rwanda-air-deal.html
Yes of course. And soon Croatia will get Leshoto flight and Bosnia flights to Zambia.
DeleteTime for ex yu to colonize Africa!
DeleteSerbia is growing! JU should have more cooperation with African countries
ReplyDeleteAfrican nations are slowly but surely getting developed (well, most of them), so being there early can have significant long term benefits, no matter how funny it may seem today
Deleteand nobody talks about Lagos.... :)
DeleteI wonder what they will be selling in the Uganda Hub...
ReplyDeleteThey said coffee, vanilla. Mangos, bananas...
DeleteThey said coffee, vanilla. Mangos, bananas...
DeleteCan you actually buy fresh Mangoes in Serbia/EX Yu?
DeleteAnd where (supermarket/open stands?)
Yes, you can - in supermarkets, in open markets etc. Quality is not quite good but now we have new friends from Uganda :)
DeleteMaxi has coconuts,papayas, mangos and pineapples. Lol its not the 90s
DeleteЏизус! I didn't see this coming!
ReplyDeleteDo you follow business news from Uganda?
DeleteI follow them daily. You?
DeleteZambia Airways used to fly to BEG back in 70s, so why not Uganda? Let's go
ReplyDeleteYugoslavia built a very large amount of infrastructure in Lusaka, those flights were transporting workers back and forth, Serbia and Uganda don't even have a facilitated visa regime
Delete"Uganda was the third-largest foreign market for the Serbian construction industry last year."
DeleteAs if that's remotely comparable to Yugoslavia building a 25-story building, a conference center and a hydroelectric power plant
DeleteWell, everything have it beginnings.
DeleteNice parks with Gorillas, but 'bit expensive.
ReplyDeleteCoffee, i have a pack at home, using for special occasions.
Nice place to discover.
Someone mentioned Rwanda, they are getting back in prosperious way with their President.
Some people are not really into Africa situation, so you can notice reading comments.
Sad se smejete ugandi, smejali ste se kubi kad se najavljivalo. Takodje ni Baku vecini nije valjao, onda svi znaju da ce propasti linije za jerevan i tbilisi ako se otvore. Samo fensi destinacije zadovoljavaju istancani ukus citalaca ovog sajta. A 90% nije uslo u avion vrv nikad...
ReplyDelete+100000000
DeleteNek' si nam reKo.
DeleteUganda has 40 million inhabitants thats a massive population and growing.
ReplyDeleteEntebbe airport is the name of its biggest airport.
You just have to read the entry on Entebbe on Wikipedia to see that Uganda already gets many flights especially to the Gulf coutries and Turkey.
So we here in Serbia should never underestimate this kind of countries.
I'm remember last coolaboration with Uganda, approx 30 years ago...it was not so good. Remember Kikash? :-)
ReplyDeleteIn 1988 an Uganda Airlines B707 was landed in Zagreb:

To compare the Uganda from thirty years ago is the same as comparing todays Serbia with of the one of Milosevic and Arkan.
DeletePeople move on..
Actually not that different politically speaking. Just change the names of the politicians.
DeleteYou mean Plenki and Zoki?
DeleteLagos, Lagos and Lagos is waiting for JU
ReplyDeleteI get the strange feeling that you are trying to tell us something.
DeleteBravo Air Serbia....samo napred.
