The Minister of Scientific and Technological Development and Higher Education of the Republic of Srpska, Prof. Sini\u0161a Karan, PhD, said in Belgrade that he was proud of the Republic of Srpska\u2019s appearance at the 68th International Book Fair, and that Srpska\u2019s publishing industry was growing.<\/p>\n
\u2018This is a major international fair of the written word, a manifestation of our culture, knowledge and science, and this should be emphasized in particular for several reasons,\u2019 said Minister Karan after visiting the stands of publishers from the Republic of Srpska.<\/p>\n
He stated that the publishing industry of the Republic of Srpska was on the rise, growing, and manifesting the progress and quality that cooperation with Serbia has given Srpska, allowing it to achieve great goals in this domain.<\/p>\n
\u2018In any case, this is the promotion of our common identity of the Serbian people wherever they live, which is strongly manifested through the written word, culture, science and other things,\u2019 said Minister Karan.<\/p>\n
He noted that cooperation between the Republic of Srpska and Serbia had been intensive since 2006, when special and parallel ties were established, the backbone of which had been and remained culture, science and knowledge.<\/p>\n
Minister Karan also pointed out the importance of the period after adoption of the Declaration on the Protection of National and Political Rights and the Common Future of the Serbian People at the All-Serbian Assembly.<\/p>\n
\u2018I emphasize this in particular because it was precisely there that we recognized that our greatest bond, the recognizability of the Serbian people and Serbian identity, wherever Serbs live, and especially here, conditionally speaking, on both banks of the Drina, is precisely culture, the written word, knowledge, science, scientific thought,\u2019 Karan said.<\/p>\n
He stated that he wanted to articulate and affirm this political and national entity finally, to the point that Serbian identity would be fully recognized precisely through the written word.<\/p>\n
\u2018We will do many good things in this way. First of all, we will raise the quality of our overall education, primary, secondary and higher,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
He added that one of these tangible manifestations of Serbian science, knowledge, culture, and identity could be seen on that day at the Belgrade Book Fair.<\/p>\n
The Minister added that he had visited several exhibitors from the Republic of Srpska at the Fair, including stands of the Republic of Srpska, the Institute for Textbooks and Teaching Aids, the Andri\u0107 Institute, the Universities of Isto\u010dno Sarajevo and Banja Luka, the Center for Socio-Political Research of the Republic of Srpska, etc.<\/p>\n
He thanked the Head of the Republic of Srpska Representative Office in Serbia, Mla\u0111en Cicovi\u0107, and the Director of the Center for Socio-Political Research, Du\u0161an Pavlovi\u0107, for everything they had organized all these years.<\/p>\n
