Popovic says brainpower will soon be Serbia's leading brand
Serbian Science and Environmental Protection Minister Aleksandar Popovic told the Belgrade weekly Nedeljni Telegraf on Tuesday that “intelligence will soon be Serbia's leading export brand.”
Popovic said his ministry will set out on a world tour this fall to present the CD it titled 1,000 Serbian Technologies to a “select foreign audience.” Popovic, who is also the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) vice president, added that “Serbian scientists, who transcend the local market, should work for exports and not only be mere merchandise.” One of Serbia's priorities is to plug the brain drain, the minister said and announced a series of concrete campaigns aimed at attaining the goal.
