sa dijasporom jeste očuvanje srpskog jezika i ćirilice u dijaspo- ri i regionu, prvenstveno obogaćivanjem nastavnog fonda do- punskih škola i biblioteka. Samo u proteklih nekoliko godina tim ustanovama poslato je oko 30.000 knjiga. Osim ovog višegodišnjeg projekta, nesumnjivo su važni i brojni događaji, poput koncerta Zvuci Srbije , koje organizuje taj sektor. Tako svet najbolje upoznaje našu kulturu, a naši ljudi u svetu neguju veze sa svojim korenima.
torate for Cooperation with the Diaspora is to preserve the Serbian language and Cyrillic script in the diaspora and the region, primarily by enriching the curriculum fund of supplementary schools and libraries. In the past few years alone, these institutions have received around 30,000 books. Alongside this multi-year project, numerous other events organised by this Directorate, such as the“Sounds of Serbia”concerts, are undoubtedly also important. That’s because this is the best way to acquaint the world with our culture, and for our people living elsewhere in the world to cherish their roots.
