The NOC of Serbia has partnered with the Japanese Embassy, the City of Belgrade and the Japanese Business Alliance in Serbia (JBAS), planting 67 trees, symbolising Olympic rings with the aim to promote a healthier and better environment, at the same time sending a strong message of friendship and solidarity between the two nations and leaving a legacy for future generations.

The Sakura Olympic tree line was planted in the centre of Belgrade at the Sava river boardwalk, a popular recreational, sport and leisure area of the city.
