For the seventh consecutive time, the humanitarian organization “Nađi Raula” from Niš has presented the “Svetislav Milić – From the Heart to the Youth” awards to individuals who have distinguished themselves in the fields of science and education, culture and the arts, sports, humanitarian work, and peaceful advocacy for human rights
As part of these awards, the “Peace Plaque” was presented to Diplomacy&Commerce magazine. The award on behalf of Diplomacy&Commerce was received by journalist Mijat Kontić.
Among the recipients of the “Svetislav Milić – From the Heart to the Youth” award is Mihajlo Jančević, who enrolled in as many as three faculties and received the award in the field of science and education.
Other awardees include Anastasija Vujić for her humanitarian work, as well as boxer Ognjen Mitrović.
The award in the category “Institutions of the Year” was shared by the Palace of Science in Belgrade and the Technical School “Mija Stanimirović” from Niš.
“This year we have 11 laureates in six categories, and we had 100 candidates. Everyone who is here today will be able to feel love, warmth, and meet young and talented people they may not have heard of before,” said Jovan Milić, director of the humanitarian organization “Nađi Raula.”
In addition to Diplomacy&Commerce magazine, the “Peace Plaque” was also awarded to Jelena Tomašević, Stefan Milenković, and Danica Karić.
On the pages of our magazine, diplomats, businesspeople, artists, scientists, and activists have for years engaged in conversations that do not seek quick fixes but deeper understanding. In a time of short formats and quick judgments, we strive to offer context, nuance, and stories that explain rather than condemn.
For us, the “Peace Plaque” is a reminder that words can be an instrument of trust when used responsibly, courageously, and with a clear awareness of how much every sentence matters.
We are grateful to the organizers, the jury, and the humanitarian organization “Nađi Raula,” but even more to all our interlocutors and readers who have for years been part of this quiet yet persistent project—creating a public space in which peace is a value, not a phrase.
