Although Serbia is not yet an EU member state, that doesn't stop Novi Sad from celebrating Europe Day on 9 May (which commemorates the signing of the Schuman Declaration in 1950 and the symbolic founding of the European community). This year's event has an varied programme, which includes an open-air exhibition of posters and photographs on the theme of Borders Within Us, some classical music and a large concert on Trg Slobode with bands from all over Europe.
