Thus, interesting programs are taking place these months right there on the famous Manhattan, in the heart of the largest American city.
The Student Summit was held these days on the premises of the Consulate General in New York, bringing together numerous American and Serbian students from New York universities such as Fordham, Columbia, Cornell, and others.
The event was dedicated to mutual acquaintance and the advancement of understanding and cooperation, building new friendships, and presenting Serbia and its cultural and historical heritage.
The gathering was officially opened by Consul General Dr. Vladimir Božović, who greeted the participants and highlighted the importance of initiatives that encourage academic, cultural, and mutual cooperation among young people.
The attending students were also greeted by Lazar Paroški, President of OSSI in the USA, Nikola Batoćanin, a student at Fordham University, as well as Mohamed Ali and Boris Gurov, students at Columbia University. The event provided an opportunity for students to exchange experiences, ideas, and establish new contacts.

This presented authentic elements of Serbian musical tradition. After the official part of the program, the participants continued socializing with music, enjoying Serbian cuisine specialties, in a pleasant atmosphere that encouraged introductions and the exchange of experiences.
