At Wine Vision by Open Balkan 2025, officially opened by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Dunav Insurance Company introduced a new insurance package designed specifically for distilleries and wineries. The fair is one of the region’s most anticipated gatherings, bringing together producers, experts, and enthusiasts from across the world.
The new package offers unified protection for the entire production cycle. It covers primary production and yields, stocks, and all property and equipment used in creating brandy and wine. According to Milo Marković, a member of Dunav Insurance Company’s Executive Board, the goal is simple: to offer complete coverage in one place.
Early reactions from producers have been extremely positive. Marković emphasized that, with climate patterns becoming increasingly unpredictable, timely and comprehensive protection is essential. “The best wine matures in silence,” he said. “And silence requires peace and security.” Dunav Insurance aims to provide exactly that.
The company’s strong presence in the fruit-growing insurance sector demonstrates the need. Dunav holds more than 50% of the total premium share in this segment. Over the past five years, it has paid out more than three billion dinars in damages for hail, frost, and storms. Yet only 15% of agricultural acreage in Serbia is insured—proof that many growers remain exposed to risk.
One producer who understands the importance of stability is MVP Distillery from Lešnica. After years of cooperation with Dunav Insurance, they expanded their policy this year to include the new package. Their orchards, equipment, property, and production process are now fully protected. For owner Marko Petrović, the decision offers peace of mind. Climatic challenges, he says, arrive every season, and expanded insurance allows for steady growth of the “Ornament” brand.
This example shows how comprehensive protection supports continuity. When producers can rely on secure conditions, they can focus on quality—and on bringing exceptional domestic brandies and wines to market.
This year’s fair gathered around 600 exhibitors from 34 countries. In that setting, Dunav Insurance once again demonstrated its role as a reliable partner for distillers and winemakers. The message is clear: the finest fruits mature only when the environment around them is protected.
