Academician Vladimir Kostić, President of SASA, presented the plan of SASA activities for the upcoming four year term (2019-2013), emphasizing that it deliberately started by repetition of the statement the previous plan had commenced with: “Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts has largely been predisposed by its definition “the highest scientific and artistic institution in the Republic of Serbia”, which it managed to justify by the work of its members in the period behind us”. He maintained that the Academy should continue its work on various identity projects with the unrestricted intensity, stating further that its activities would still include long-term work on key national projects as well as critical monitoring of the current situation, primarily in education, science and arts. The existing international cooperation with international and domestic institutions will be specially addressed and intensified as well as the dialogue with younger generations.
