Conference

The Great War in Serbia: historical lessons, foreign humanitarian missions and the culture of remembrance

The Endowment’s second international scientific conference took place on 9 and 10 October 2026 in Sjenica, at the Cultural Centre. Twenty-five papers brought together researchers from Serbia, Russia and Europe around one question: who helped Serbia during the Great War, and how is that memory passed on to new generations.
