Kragujevac

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic on Monday laid the cornerstone for "the Centers of Excellence" of the University of Kragujevac, in central Serbia.

With doctoral students of the Kragujevac Faculty of Medicine and future researchers at the centers, Nikolic lowered a time capsule into the foundations.

President of the SNS Executive Board Radomir Nikolic says he will support party leader and PM Aleksandar Vucic in his decision on calling early elections.

According to Nikolic - who is the mayor of Kragujevac and the son of Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic - only early elections can solve "the difficult situation and an attempt to artificially polarize society."

Veroljub Dugalic has been presenting copies of his book “The Fundamentals of Stock Exchange Operations” as gifts to his students for the past ten years.

Dugalic teaches at the Kragujevac Faculty of Economy.

Threats to exhume the remains of Red Army soldiers who helped liberate the city of Kragujevac during WWII because of unpaid cemetery fees have angered Serbian war veterans.
