• OMV Serbia becomes a partner of the “Golden Heart” Club of SOS Children's Village Foundation
• OMV representatives shared the holiday spirit with the children
• Socializing and playing along with gifts

In the spirit of its strategic commitment and corporate culture, which includes responsibility to the wider community, OMV Serbia has become a partner of the “Golden Heart” Club, of SOS Children's Village Serbia. Wishing to bring the holiday spirit closer to the children, the employees of OMV Serbia spent time socializing with them. With a nice interactive play featuring children as well to the actors, OMV representatives presented New Year's gifts to the children and had a nice day with them at SOS Children's Village in Kraljevo.

As the first and most important program of the SOS Children's Village Serbia, this organization provides long-term, ongoing support for children without parental care until their independence, and OMV has become part of a team that helps change the lives of hundreds of children across Serbia and give them the opportunity for a better future.

“The spirit of joy and presenting gifts during the holidays is an ideal opportunity to express care for sensitive categories of society, and children have always been the focus of our attention. The organization SOS Children's Village Serbia has been helping children in Serbia since 2004, and we are therefore pleased for the opportunity to support the noble goals of their “Golden Heart” Club,” says OMV Serbia Retail Manager Nikola Bozalo.
