On this occasion, Brnabic pointed out that the plaques were awarded to 1,407 best secondary school students, and emphasised that on a day like this she is most proud to be the Serbian Prime Minister.
She reminded that the two main priorities of the government are education and digitisation, noting that without young people Serbia cannot be successful and cannot have a sustainable long-term development in the long run.
The Prime Minister reiterated that knowledge is certainly the most important value in the 21st century, and expressed gratitude to the participants for their efforts, persistence and courage to achieve these results.
She congratulated the winners of the plaque, their parents and teachers, reiterating that the government will do everything in its power to create the conditions for them to stay in the country.
The Prime Minister pointed out that there are many examples that say that Serbia is the right country to work in, citing positive examples, such as the "Biosens Institute" in Novi Sad, the companies "Nordeus", "Seven Bridges", "Infostud" and others.
It is important to constantly repeat these examples, because we often do not know and cannot appreciate what we have, Brnabic said and announced that a student creative start-up centre at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Nis will be opened next week.
Brnabic announced that in the next four years the state plans to allocate more than €50 million only for the infrastructure for entrepreneurship, the start-up innovations, and for people like the winners of the plaque, to stay here and to take full advantage of all of their potential.
Udovicic said that the winners of the plaque, their parents and teachers know very well how difficult it is to achieve this result and how much effort is needed to make it happen.
