A ceremonial event in support of the City of Belgrade's reforestation plan took place in the park on Friday, attended by Goran Vesic, Deputy Mayor of Belgrade, and Abigail Martin, Euroleague Basketball's Director of Sustainability and Development Projects.
Vesic said: "Now we have more trees in our park, and these trees will be the monument of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Belgrade."
Martin added: "Euroleague Basketball is happy to support the City of Belgrade's reforestation efforts with the act of donating these trees, which also serves to represent the friendship between Euroleague Basketball and the City of Belgrade."
The donation in Belgrade is part of Euroleague Basketball's wider strategy on sustainability, which has also seen the renewal of a partnership with global reforestation charity One Tree Planted and its reforestation project in the Amazon Rainforest in San Martin, Peru as part of its support of the #GenerationRestoration campaign.
Euroleague Basketball and title sponsor Turkish Airlines have established a goal of planting at least 3,000 more trees in the Amazon by the International Day of Environment on June 5, 2022. The campaign can be supported at euroleague.raisely.com
