Expo 2027 in Belgrade launches EXPO MYTH CHECK portal amid transparency concerns
Expo 2027 is a specialized international exhibition scheduled for 2027 in Belgrade, Serbia, organized by the International Bureau of Exhibitions (BIE). The theme of the event is “Games for humanity: sport and music for all”, and organizers expect participation from more than 130 countries and millions of visitors.
The company behind Expo 2027 has created an online fact‑checking portal called EXPO MYTH CHECK (also titled “Mitovi i činjenice”). The portal’s purpose is to verify the most common myths and claims about the expo using official documents and reliable data, providing a single source for citizens, media and interested parties. It aims to improve public dialogue and ensure that information about the project is based on facts rather than speculation.
Serbian officials present the expo as a driver for modernization, international visibility and economic growth, but critics and activist networks such as EXPOsed raise concerns over transparency, public costs, corruption risks and the social and ecological impacts of the extensive construction works. The portal is intended to address those concerns by offering clear answers to questions about costs, benefits, environmental effects and the overall concept of the specialised exhibition.
