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.

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.

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.
