Aleksandar Stojanovski coordinated the virtual bike tour in Serbia.  Vladimir Sremčević helped very much in the organization and coordination and has served as co-coordinator.  Team Sarcoma/Serbia has constructed a web site focusing on sarcoma and their efforts; see http://rti7020.etf.bg.ac.yu/www/sarkomtura/.
