King Cross brought you once again a weekend your pets love – the Vau Weekend! In the two days of this traditionally cheerful gathering, all visitors could attend a wealth of educational, informative, and entertaining content. With prior registration, everyone could also participate with their pet. There were plenty of registrations.

The program was hosted by well-known TV faces: Antun Ponoš, Jelena Glišić, and Monica Jakšić.

The highlight of the fun gathering was the “Dog Show” and the “Dog Talent Show”, to which all visitors could register their pets. At the “Dog Show”, the 3 most beautiful pets were chosen, and at the “Dog Talent Show”, the 3 pets with the best trick performances were chosen.

To participate, all you had to do was fill out a registration form at the Vau Weekend info desk in King Cross. Everyone who registered to participate received a souvenir, and the winners won cups, medals, and many valuable gifts.
