After talks with several top foreign scientists at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Djelic said to the press that despite difficulties Serbia cannot afford to give up investments in science and the budget revision should not result in reduced funds for science.
He said that Nobel Award winner physicist Martin Perl is among the scientists attending the Rectors Conference in Belgrade, adding that Serbia is beginning to regain its former stature in the field of science.
Martin Perl is the third Nobel Award winner who has visited Serbia during the past five months which could be a small sign that Serbia is becoming an important centre of science, said Djelic.
He said that in his talks with scientists from the US, Japan, China, Spain and other countries he tried to find out what Serbia should do in order to be more successful in the field of science and technology.
We also talked about adapting the Serbian education system to make it suitable for preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century, said the Minister.
Rector of the University of Belgrade Branko Kovacevic said that despite all difficulties Serbia is a country with a future.
He said that according to tradition the Rectors Conference is being held in Belgrade prior to the Universiade. Nearly 400 scientists from 120 universities in 56 countries are attending the conference.
