Stronger Scientific Cooperation between Serbia and Israel Agreed
„Serbia has a very good potential to become a leading country in Europe in science, “said the Israeli Minister of Science and Technology, Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz, after a meeting with his Serbian colleague, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and Technological Development Mr. Bozidar Djelic.
The Israeli minister invited Mr. Djelic to visit Israel this year, adding that he had a chance to look at the strategic plan for the development of science in Serbia which is “very impressive and in several aspects similar to the Israeli one.” He added that there is a lot of room for cooperation and that Israel will be happy to assist Serbia in promoting its position in the fields of science and technology.
Minister Djelic emphasized that it was a great honor to talk with the Israeli minister, since “Israel is the world champion when it comes to investments in science and technology.” He mentioned that Israel allocates almost five percent of its GDP for these two fields.
The two ministers agreed to strengthen the cooperation already existing between the Institute of Physics and Institute “Mihailo Pupin” with partners in Israel. Mr. Djelic added that “the Israeli experts should become consultants of Serbia in developing our scientific infrastructure.” He also said that the Israeli model of cooperation between scientific institutions and the business sector should be applied in Serbia.

Minister Dacic Strengthens Police Cooperation with Israel
Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Ivica Dacic and his Israeli counterpart Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovic signed an agreement between Israel and Serbia on cooperation in combating illicit trafficking, use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, terrorism and other serious crimes. The agreement was signed in the house of Israeli parliament the Knesset in Jerusalem during Minister Dacic’s official three days visit to Israel.
Israel and Serbia have been cooperating in combating crime for the past few years and this agreement is another important step in formalizing cooperation between the law enforcement authorities in two countries.
After the signing, Minister Dacic emphasized that the agreement is very useful “because both Israel and Serbia have gone and are still going through a very difficult period, which has forced both states to maintain strong police forces.” Aharonovic stressed the need to extend cooperation with Serbia because organized crime knows no borders.
The agreement determines that the two parties would exchange information and experience, organize meetings, seminars and training courses, and coordinate activities of their respective agencies concerned with the fight against crime and terrorism.
During the visit Dacic also met with Israeli FM Avigdor Lieberman who said that "political relations between Serbia and Israel are good, but that cooperation should be deepened in the economic and cultural fields.” Minister Dacic also had bilateral meetings with Israeli Minister of Internal Affairs Eli Yishai and Inspector General of the Israel Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen.
Serbian Interior Ministry delegation, which included Serbian Police Chief Milorad Veljovic, also visited the Yad Vashem Memorial Museum dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust.
