Mr. Hodžić told for Kongres Magazine that the decision for the GR as a venue of the Summit was taken mainly due to its location: “GR was in the vicinity of our hotels, restaurants, and the city centre.” As an event planning advantages of the GR, the CEO of the organising board pointed out, firstly, its professional service: “Their staff did their part excellently, providing us with everything we needed,” and, secondly, a huge parking adjacent to the rear entrance: “We used it for car parking and it came really handy for the equipment import.”

But not only the organiser, also the participants were amazed by the venue. Particularly with the GR’s space: “Its functionality and the ceiling height were the things they mentioned mostly,” noted Mr. Hodžić. And some of the attendees mentioned the GR’s cleanliness and parking: “This place is so spick and span, one of the participants said.”
