Education

People from Serbia are recognized for their strong character, integrity, and pride, and we are welcomed with great respect. I do my best to represent my country in the best possible way wherever I go, and I firmly believe that art is one of the most beautiful ways to connect people across cultures.

I dial an unfamiliar number from my contacts, and to my great surprise, a youthful and energetic voice answers. For a moment, I think I’ve called the wrong number and ask if I am speaking with Professor Simić, who is now eighty-nine years old. His response confirms it, and a wave of positive, vibrant energy begins to flow through the words of a man also known as the “Legend of Kopaonik.”
