Spanish-Montenegrin basketball player INVESTS in rural DEVELOPMENT of Pirot
Barcelona’s basketball player Nikola Mirotic wants to contribute to the development of the town of Pirot by investing in rural tourism.
He also announced the construction of a basketball arena, a ski track and a hotel complex, during a visit to the event „Weaving Colony“, recently held on Stara Planina.
Mirotic, together with his wife Nina, visited the traditional weaving event in order to support activities for the preservation of traditional techniques and skills of making handicrafts, but also the economic empowerment of women in rural areas.
The former basketball player of Chicago Bulls bought an elegant fabric for his wife, and a ball made of felted wool for himself, as a symbol of the success that Serbia has in sports.
The basketball player invests in the Pirot area in the development of animal husbandry and tourism, and this is the area that Nina comes from and where they spend part of the summer break every year.
The first weaving colony was organized in their hotel „StarA“, and in addition, the basketball player built a sheep farm „Eva“, which will supply meat and cheese to the new hotel, which will be inspired by the patterns of the Pirot carpet.
Furthermore, within the complex there will be a basketball arena, a ski track and additional facilities for accommodation in the form of special tree houses, the completion of which is planned for next year.
