IIE-SRF Scholar Achievement

In remembrance of World War I, which began 100 years ago in August 1914, 23 authors from 23 cities in Europe participated in a project led by Literaturhäuse in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to publish a compilation of stories inspired by events in their hometowns as reported by local newspapers in July and August 1914. Among the authors was IIE-SRF scholar Sreten Ugričić from Serbia. A prominent writer and philosopher and the former director of the National Library of Serbia, Mr. Ugričić is recognized for leading the preservation of Serbia’s cultural identity. Also this summer, a translation of his latest novel was published in Macedonia and a new collection of stories was published in Montenegro. He is currently a visiting scholar at Stanford University.
