- 2. 2 THE “GEREJE” PHILOSOPHY The GEREJE, first diplomatic passport, ensuring safe and secure cross border transactions, is a powerful symbol matching perfectly our mission and goals In the 13th century, Marco Polo was one of the first European to travel across Asia by the Silk Road on horseback. His journey lasted 24 years, including several years at the court of Kublai Khan. The Emperor awarded Marco Polo a gold tablet having the form of a long piece of currency named GEREJE which ensured many privileges to whoever had it. With this “golden passport” Marco Polo obtained all the necessary protections, supplies and assistance such as horses, food or equipment and returned safely to Venice with his immense fortune. GEREJE team members share a common passion in dealing with cross border transactions and are united around the GEREJE symbol reflecting our mind set as well as our working philosophy.
