99 works from all over our republic were sent in for literary contest on the topic Srpska in the Heart organized on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Republic of Srpska.

Eligible participants were students of secondary schools and 8th and 9th grades of elementary schools from the Republic of Srpska.

Best works will be selected by Serbian language professor Biljana Turanjanin Nikolopoulos, PhD, author msr Jelena Kalajdžija, BiH Ambassador to Greece Milica Ristović Krstić, and Head of the Representation Jelena Jovanović.

The author of the best literary work will be announced on 2 May 2022, while the award for the best work is a five-day trip to Thessaloniki for the author and his or her family.

Due to the large number of received works, the Republic of Srpska Representation in Greece decided to publish a book entitled Srpska u Srcu (Srpska in the Heart) which will include the works of all students and symbolically perpetuate all the love and patriotic feeling of our youth towards the Republic of Srpska.

All students who participated in the contest will also receive certificates of appreciation.

Thank you to all the students for participating! It is a great honor for us to read your works that abound in love for the fatherland! Your parents, guardians, professors and teachers can be proud of you!
