On November 5th, 2022 a ceremony was held at the Embassy of Serbia on the occasion of the awarding of prizes to the students of the Serbian language Supplementary School in the Federal Republic of Germany for the best works written in the literary competition "Serbian language, guardian of our identity".

56 students from 1st to 8th grade of elementary school from all parts of Germany participated in the competition, of which 12 were awarded. The best works were awarded certificates and books of famous Serbian writers provided by the Embassy.

The aim of the competition was to encourage Serbian children who were born, grow up and study in Germany to think about why it is important for them to cultivate the knowledge of the Serbian language and the Cyrillic alphabet.

Addressing the audience, Ambassador Dr. Snežana Janković pointed out, among other things, that the joint task of the Embassy and the Supplementary School in the Serbian language is to nurture the Serbian language and the Cyrillic alphabet among our children living abroad, thereby preserving their identity and awareness of their roots. She thanked the parents, who, in addition to their numerous obligations, contribute significantly to the work of supplementary schools in Germany and set aside time so that their children regularly attend Serbian language classes.  

The ceremony at the Embassy was attended by award-winning students from Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Munich, their parents and teachers, as well as the coordinator of the Supplementary School for the Serbian Language in Germany Ms. Biljana Bukinac.
