We proudly received the news of your winning the gold medal in Rome. Just 20 days ago we successfully organised the Universiade thus defending the honour of our country. Not only did you achieve the highest success ever when it comes to women’s swimming in Serbia, but women’s sports in general. I wish to congratulate you on behalf of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and on my own behalf on your success, reads the Minister’s letter.
