A panel discussion on the current socio-political developments in Serbia, titled “Serbia at a Crossroads,” will be held on Friday, April 25th, at the prestigious Harvard University in Massachusetts.

As announced, the panel discussion will include Vladimir Kostić, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade, director of the Institute of Neurology and former president of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU), Srđan Verbić, a professor at Metropolitan University – FEFA, former Minister of Education and Science, and co-founder of the Observatory of Social Innovations, and Katarina Beširović, a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Belgrade and a researcher of current student protests.

“During 2025, Serbia witnessed the largest mass protests in its history. These protests, fueled by accusations of corruption and the strengthening of authoritarianism, reflect deep citizen dissatisfaction with the deterioration of democratic institutions,” reads the description of the announced panel discussion on the Harvard University website, as reported by Nedeljnik.
