"Belgrade Fair organises more than 40 events annually, but it is always a pleasure when something is done for the first time, as is the case with MOTOPASSION which has been staged for the first time as a separate show", said the Fair's Manager. "More than a hundred of exhibitors with more than 500 models as well as all of you who have come here, prove that we were right when we brought this decision four years ago. I am very glad that we have the most successful representatives of this sport with us , or let me put it this way, passion and devotion."

Let us not forget that there's no fear on the track and that competitors always give their best, said Milos Milovanovic, the most successful Serbian motorcyclist in round races, and that he is looking forward to the forthcoming championships, especially competing with Michael Schumacher.

Gabor Saghmeister, the competitor who has "conquered" Argentina and finished the Dakar Rally, the national team member for 16 years, said at the Opening Ceremony:

"I am 38 years old, reaching the end of my career, and it is very important for me being one of the 113 competitors who have finished this rally. I have won the 89th place and after 12 days already, I knew I would finish the race. The next Dakar Rally will be held in Chile and I hope I shall repeat this year's  result, said Gabor Saghmeister, announcing the 4th MOTOPASSION opened.
