The Belgrade Open also served as a platform for creating significant and lasting changes in society, and it was accompanied by various humanitarian and environmental initiatives. Firstly, all proceeds from ticket sales for the Grandstand Court will be donated to children without parental care. Additionally, the tournament featured an important environmental aspect, with all participants directly contributing to it.
