Dear colleagues - participants of COST734 MC Meeting in Novi Sad (2830.10.2009)!
It is our pleasure to host you in our beautiful city and provide some useful
information about its location and hotels.
I About the city
Novi Sad (Нови Сад/Novi Sad in Serbian) is the capital of Vojvodina, the northern region of
Serbia. Situated on the Danube River between Budapest and Belgrade, it is a treasured
regional and cultural centre. Novi Sad has the population of 400,000 and it's home to EXIT, a
large 4 day music festival which takes place each July at Petrovaradin fortress.

position. It is located about 80 km to the northwest of Belgrade, about 300km from Budapest,
