Public Information of the ATIBOX / Informationsschrift der ATIBOX ATIBOX WORLD WINNER EXHIBITION 2./3.06.2007 The big ATIBOX family met on this weekend not only to the world exhibition, but also for general meeting along elections in Novi Sad. The Serbian university city of Novi Sad is the capital of the autonomous province Vojvodine. Situated on the Danube, this town has over 300 000 inhabitants and is thus second after Belgrade. Founded in 1694, after the Hapsbourg conquest of the country, the center of Novi Sad has been built in baroque style. On the opposite Danube bank is situated the fortress Petrovaradin that has been an important defence of the city during several centuries. The university, founded in 1960, has now nearly 40 000 students. During the Kosovo war in 1999, the town became a target of NATO airraids that destroyed also all bridges over the Danube, and during the following 6 years the traffic passed over a pontoon bridge. In 2005, the Liberty Bridge has been opened, which again allows a normal road and ship traffic. The big ATIBOX family came not only together for the annual ATIBOX dogshow, but also held , on June 1st, the General Assembly , with elections. The Assembly decided to modify the Convention in order to enable the enlargement of the Committee by two assessors. - by Ginette Hufschmid - The New ATIBOX Committee Honorary President Knut Brodal (N) President Dr. Milos Lucic (RS) 1st Vice President Bernard Kafka (F) 2nd Vice President Dr. Iwona Madziarska (PL) General Secretary Torsten Lemmer (D) Technical Responsible Robert Fagos [C] Treasurer Ginette Hufschmid (CH) Assessor for a period of 3 yrs Andrea Cucnik (SLO) Assessor for a period of 3 yrs Arne Haugen (N) Detailed minutes of the General Assembly will be sent to the member countries.The Show took place in the vicinity of a stud that offered, in former farm buildings and stables, guestrooms in a very romantic environment.
