MEMBERS OF
ACADEMIES AT RECEPTION AT THE ROYAL PALACE
Their Royal
Highness Crown Prince Aleksandar II, Princess Katarina and Prince Philip
hosted a reception last night at the Royal Palace in Belgrade for more that
hundred full and corresponding members of the Academies of sciences and arts
of Serbia, Montenegro and the Republic of Srpska.
H.R.H. Crown
Prince Aleksandar II welcomed all those present and expressed his pleasure
for gathering of “so many knowledge, gifts and skills at one place”.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, you were
elected by your peers to be part of the history of your Nation and pride of
your people. Today, perhaps more than ever before, your knowledge and your
work represent both hope and support. First, because those elected to be
immortal do not aspire for ephemeral
aims, second – because knowledge is a fundament of every right decision and
a landmark in the infinite search for the truth.”
In the name of those present,
academician Nikola Hajdin expressed his gratitude to Their Royal Highnesses.
Visibly moved he said it was great honour for all those present to be
at the Royal Palace and expressed his pleasure that academicians from all
around our country gathered here.
