‘I submit to you a proposal to establish a Serbian cultural center in Vienna, in order to develop Serbian educational, cultural, spiritual and national identity, which would enable us to present to our hosts, the Austrians the rich Serbian cultural heritage in Vienna and other cities’, reads the letter addressed to Aleksandar Vučić, Serbian President.

Matić wrote that the Cultural Center had existed in Vienna during the SFRY and that it should be revived again, for the benefit of the Serbian and Austrian people.
