SUMMARY:Lojanik: Prehistoric Jasper and Opal Quarry
DESCRIPTION:Lojanik represents a unique paleobotanical site\, where fossil remains of silicified\, petrified wood have been discovered. It was declared a scientific research reserve in 1963. The site is located on the northern slopes of Stolovi\, on the right bank of the Ibar River\, near Mataruška Banja. Analysis of the silicified wood identified its origin as petrified conifers of the fir genus (Abies).    \nArchaeological research conducted between 2016 and 2022\, organized by the National Museum Kraljevo and the National Museum of Serbia\, confirmed the mining concept of raw material extraction at Lojanik. Excavations revealed surface mining structures in the form of shallow pits and trenches on both sides of the hill. The oldest archaeological material – jasper\, opal\, breccia\, and silicified wood—was dated to the Middle Paleolithic (Old Stone Age)\, around 228\,000 BC. In addition\, geological layer 2 contained clear evidence of fire use\, dated to around 90\,000 BCE. Fire was employed to remove surface rock and release ore\, direct proof of the skill and experience of populations likely linked to Neanderthals or archaic Homo sapiens.        \nThe significance of Lojanik as a quarry and mining site over the past 200\,000 years cannot be understood without reference to the nearby settlement of Crkvine in Konarevo\, only 2 km away. Crkvine is one of the earliest Early Neolithic settlements\, formed by the arrival of the first farmers on the left bank of the Ibar\, opposite Lojanik. They encountered available raw materials and Paleolithic artifacts\, which they initially used. Lojanik’s limnosilicates\, opals\, silicified wood\, and various breccias became the basic materials for toolmaking in Neolithic settlements in the area.    \nEven in modern times\, the rough\, dark parts of silicified branches were recognized as grinding material for metal blades. In the late 20th century\, “miner” Đorđe Matović and traders (the Vićanović brothers) ran a small-scale production of stone grindstones\, competitive with industrial products of the era. Remarkably\, Matović’s grindstones remain in use today\, still efficient and barely worn after half a century.     \nThe exhibition is authored by Vera Bogosavljević Petrović\, PhD\, museum advisor at the National Museum of Serbia and head of the research project. The exhibition will be formally opened by Dr Dušan Mihailović\, Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Belgrade.

SUMMARY:Warriors from the Border. Muslims from Stara Raška in the German Army\, SS and Police (1941-1945.)
DESCRIPTION:The promotion of the book by Milutin Živković “Warriors from the Border. Old Raška Muslims in the German Army\, SS\, and Police (1941–1945)” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, March 3rd\, 2026\, starting at 6 p.m.    \nThis study represents the result of more than a decade of research work and relies on extensive\, partly previously unused archival material of German and Albanian provenance. The monograph synthesizes the author’s previous knowledge about the past of Old Raška/Sandžak and brings new insights into the complex processes of collaboration\, motivation\, and the role of Old Raška Muslims within the German occupation system during the Second World War.  \nThe book provides answers to numerous important questions: about the reasons and scope of collaboration with the occupier\, the differences between participation in German units and fighting alongside them\, the social and economic background of the “warriors from the border\,” as well as their postwar fate. Of special value are the extensive lists of members of German formations and previously unpublished photographs\, which make this topic more visible and understandable to the wider public.  \nMilutin Živković\, PhD\, born in Kraljevo in 1986\, is a historian and senior research associate at the Institute for Contemporary History in Belgrade. He completed undergraduate and doctoral studies in history at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade\, where in 2017 he defended his doctoral dissertation “Sandžak 1941–1943” under the mentorship of academician Prof. Ljubodrag Dimić.     \nHis scientific interest is directed toward the political\, military\, and social history of Kosovo and Metohija and Old Raška \n(Sandžak) in the 20th century\, especially toward questions of occupation systems\, national identities\, and interethnic relations during the Second World War. He has conducted research in numerous domestic and foreign archives. He is the author of three notable monographs and about fifty scientific papers in domestic and international publications.    \nIn addition to the author\, the monograph will be discussed by reviewers Kosta Nikolić\, PhD\, scientific advisor at the Institute for Contemporary History in Belgrade\, and Bojan Dimitrijević\, PhD\, scientific advisor at the Institute for Contemporary History in Belgrade. \nWe invite all interested to attend the promotion and participate in the discussion about one of the more sensitive and less researched topics of the history of the Second World War in the territory of Serbia.

SUMMARY:Nadežda Petrović: Life and Art in the Service of the Nation
DESCRIPTION:The promotion of the monograph by Miloš Timotijević\, PhD\, “Nadežda Petrović: Life and Art in the Service of the Nation” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, March 17th\, 2026\, starting at 6 PM.   \nThe monograph brings a new and comprehensive interpretation of the life and work of Nadežda Petrović (1873–1915)\, one of the most important figures of Serbian art and culture of the 20th century. As the founder of Serbian modernism\, Nadežda opened new chapters in national art with her avant‑garde painting\, while at the same time\, through strong social and political engagement\, she actively participated in shaping national consciousness and public life of her time. Through a rich artistic oeuvre and tireless work in patriotic organizations\, she combined modernity\, art\, and nationalism. Her participation in the liberation wars and her tragic death as a volunteer nurse in 1915 confirmed her deep dedication to the homeland.      \nA special value of this book lies in the analysis of her political activity\, which in previous research often remained in the shadow of her artistic oeuvre. The author views Nadežda Petrović in a broader historical and cultural context – as an artist\, intellectual\, and national activist who acted in a time of great political and social upheavals\, considering her relationship to nationalism\, Serbian identity\, Yugoslavism\, and modernism.  \nThe book represents a significant contribution to understanding the position of women artists in Serbian society and the way in which Nadežda Petrović\, through her life and work\, united art\, ideas\, and patriotism. \nMiloš Timotijević (Čačak\, 1969) is a doctor of historical sciences and museum advisor at the National Museum Čačak. He graduated and earned his doctorate at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade\, where in 2011 he defended his dissertation on the modernization of Balkan cities in socialism. He is the author of numerous scholarly papers and monographs\, and his narrower field of research includes the history of Serbia and Yugoslavia in the 20th century. For his scholarly and cultural contribution\, he has received several significant awards.

SUMMARY:The Serbian Royal Portrait in the Age of King Milutin
DESCRIPTION:The lecture by Bojana Stevanović entitled “Serbian Medieval Ruler Portraits in the Time of King Milutin” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, March 31st\, 2026\, starting at 6 PM.   \nPortrait\, as an artistic genre\, aims to depict a specific individual or group of people\, emphasizing not only their physical appearance but also psychological traits\, social position\, and spiritual dimension. The medieval portrait has far more to do with expressing social status\, religious attitude\, relationship to God\, political role\, family ties\, endowments\, military successes\, and aspirations than with faithful representation of physiognomy and character. Serbian medieval painting dominates with a large number of portraits of historical figures throughout the Eastern Christian world and abounds in the use of diverse iconographic solutions in their shaping. The movement toward the representative ruler’s image\, similar to Byzantine imperial portraits\, can be observed in examples dating from before Milutin became ruler\, and later son‑in‑law of the Byzantine emperor. Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin is the only figure of our Middle Ages whose portraits depict a long life path. The period of his reign (1282–1321) was marked not only by the number of ruler portraits but also by the diversity and innovativeness of iconographic solutions\, enabled especially by extensive endowment activity in the last decades of the king’s life. Serbian ruler portraits from the time of King Milutin provide a complete picture of the ideology of earthly power and the preoccupations of the Serbian king and his closest circle. In the time of King Milutin’s rule\, Serbian ruler images were already fully aligned with the Byzantine ceremonial image. Portrait ensembles from this period are based on the imperial idea and laid the foundation for Serbian ruler portraits\, especially those from the time of the empire. As for the portraits of King Milutin\, they are testimony to his appearance\, particularly because they are part of a certain portrait realism characteristic of Byzantine art of the mature Palaiologan Renaissance.          \nBojana Stevanović (Belgrade\, 1984) is an art historian and research associate at the Institute for Art History at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. She graduated and earned her doctorate at the Department of Art History\, and for her diploma thesis on Serbian ruler portraits in the time of King Milutin she received the “Elder Isaiah” award for the best work in the field of church art. She is the author of numerous scholarly papers dedicated to Serbian medieval wall painting\, iconography\, and architecture\, as well as a contributor to significant encyclopedic and lexicographic editions.   \nWe invite all lovers of medieval art\, history\, and cultural heritage to join us and\, through expert interpretation\, discover how Serbian rulers built their visual representation of power and spiritual identity.

SUMMARY:Miomir Vukobratović: Pioneer of Robotics
DESCRIPTION:The promotion of the monograph “Miomir Vukobratović: Pioneer of Robotics” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Friday\, April 3rd\, 2026\, starting at 1 p.m.   \nThe monograph “Miomir Vukobratović: Pioneer of Robotics” was created with the intention of systematically illuminating in one place the life\, scientific work\, and intellectual legacy of the Serbian scientist whose contribution to world robotics is indisputable\, but who for a long time remained insufficiently known to the domestic public. The book provides a comprehensive and documented overview of an exceptional scientific career and its lasting impact on the development of modern technologies.  \nThrough the story of the life and work of one of the pioneers of humanoid robotics\, the publication reveals how visionary ideas and theories were created\, on which the development of intelligent machines is still based today\, among which a special place belongs to the famous Zero Moment Point theory of walking – one of the key concepts of modern robotics. \nThis monograph goes beyond the framework of a classical scientific biography and presents Professor Vukobratović as an exceptional and versatile personality – a top scientist\, charismatic professor\, and passionate researcher. At the same time\, readers will have the opportunity to get to know him as a dedicated pedagogue and mentor who\, with his knowledge\, work ethic\, and personal example\, shaped generations of young researchers. The book also highlights his artistic side – his love for music and theater\, as well as the fact that he was an accomplished violinist.   \nThe monograph provides documented data on more than five decades of scientific work\, over five hundred scientific papers\, and numerous innovations that have permanently marked the development of humanoid robotics. A special value is the systematized bibliography of Professor Vukobratović\, which makes this book a valuable source for researchers\, students\, and the professional public.  \nThis book is also a tribute to a man who\, with his vision\, innovation\, and dedication to science\, left a deep and lasting mark on the world’s scientific heritage. It is intended for all who love inspiring stories about great personalities\, innovators\, and visionaries\, but also for those who want to understand how knowledge\, curiosity\, and perseverance can change the world.  \nAt the presentation of the monograph\, the speakers will be the editor and member of the editorial team Ivan Stanić\, senior curator of the Museum of Science and Technology\, Aleksandar Rodić\, PhD\, scientific advisor at the “Mihajlo Pupin” Institute\, the editor of the monograph Gordana Petković Srzentić\, and Marina Vukobratović Karan\, daughter of Miomir Vukobratović.

SUMMARY:Culture of Memory: Children in War and From War
DESCRIPTION:The promotion of the collection of papers “Culture of Memory: Children in War and from War” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, April 7th\, 2026\, starting at 6 p.m.   \nThe Collection of Paper was created as a result of the international scholarly thematic conference “Children in War and from War” held on 26. June 26th–27th\, 2025 at the University of Business Academy in Novi Sad\, in co‑organization with the Jovan Ristić Institute from Novi Sad. At the conference\, 29 authors from Serbia\, Italy\, Hungary\, Russia\, Belarus\, Republika Srpska\, and Romania participated\, with a total of 24 scholarly papers. The authors – university professors\, scientific researchers\, museum experts\, and representatives of various disciplines – approached the topic from legal\, philosophical\, sociological\, cultural\, and historical perspectives.    \nThe papers were presented within three thematic units:\n• children as victims of war rights and injustices\n• historical traumas and memories – the suffering of children in the world wars of the 20th and 21st centuries\n• identity\, memory\, and silence – the suffering of children. \nThe Collection of Papers “Culture of Memory: Children in War and from War” brings scholarly and professional contributions dealing with the position of children in wartime circumstances and the long‑term consequences of war experiences on individuals and society. The papers arose from different scholarly perspectives and together make an important contribution to the study of the theme of children’s suffering\, as well as to understanding the ways in which these experiences are remembered\, interpreted\, and transmitted to future generations.  \nThe publication unites original scholarly papers\, review studies\, and professional contributions that shed light on issues of children as victims of war injustices\, historical traumas and memories of suffering in world wars\, as well as themes of identity\, memory\, and silence that often accompany these events. The collection was published in Serbian\, English\, and Russian\, which gives it special significance and enables the research results to be accessible to a wider scholarly and professional public.  \nAs a whole\, this collection points to the importance of the culture of remembrance as a value that not only serves to preserve the past from oblivion but also encourages contemporary society to draw lessons from historical experiences and act responsibly toward the future. \nSpeakers about the Collection of Papers will be:\n– Prof. Zoran Pavlović\, PhD\, editor of the collection (Faculty of Law of the University of Business Academy Novi Sad)\n– Prof. Borislav Grozdić\, PhD (Faculty of Law of the University of Business Academy Novi Sad)\n– Prof. Aleksandar Stevanović PhD (State University of Novi Pazar).    \nThrough discussion of this publication\, the common message of the authors will be emphasized – that the culture of remembrance is a value by which we preserve the past from oblivion\, but also a means by which we act preventively\, with the aim of creating a more responsible and humane society.
