On Saturday November 26th, in Hyatt Regency Belgrade, BELhospice organised 7th BELhospice Charity Ball „Magic is in your hands“. With support of the Belgium, British, Canadian, American, German, Norwegian, Australian, Swiss, Turkish, Brasilian ambassadors, as well as the Head of the Council of Europe Mission to Serbia and Irish Honorary Consul, and numerous other guests, 117,000 EUR was raised for BELhospice work and building the first inpatient hospice in Serbia.
During the evening, guests had the opportunity to enjoy magician tricks of Emir Samardžić, funny stand up fortune telling of Nenad Stefanovski, musical magical moments brought by Viva Vox choir conducted by Jasmina Lorin and magic of movement and dance by Una Saga Serbica, while hosts of the night Ana Sofrenovic and Vojislav Nedeljkovic made the entire evening unforgettable for both performers and guests.
