Humanity, education and sport, an important synergy of the local community
Makarska Mayor Zoran Paunović praised the initiative of the WTA Makarska Open hosted by Valamar team, and emphasized the importance of investing in sports, children and educational institutions:

WTA Makarska Open Director Feliks Lukas said that supporting the local community is an important part of the tournament's mission.
"The Makarska tournament is not just a sporting event, it is a platform that brings together athletes, businessmen, cultural figures and all people of good will and encourages positive change. This year we decided to support the Father Petar Perica Elementary School and provide students with a space where they will feel encouraged, included and safe. We are happy when we can help others and show one of the most important roles of sport – doing good."
