Why the Sparrow, it is the most frequent question we are asked.
Because he also chose Belgrade to be his place, and because you can find sparrows everywhere in our country. Fast, dynamic, skillful…

Sparrow – he is using his wings to proudly invite us all to be the part of this Universiade, and Belgrade to be the center of the world!
He is authentic, charming, dandy - genuine citizen of Belgrade that we can now see in sports clothes (modern look – a hat, a T-shirt), as a champion dressed in colors of the national team. That is how we chose the Sparrow to be the mascot of Belgrade
(a question remains: do the sparrows agree with this?).
