It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our long-time and very respected board member Professor Radovan Vukadinović, on May 22nd, 2019.

Prof. Vukadinović not only had an extraordinary professional career but he was a friendly, humorous and charming person who always made great efforts to bring people together, to exchange ideas and to include the younger generation into discussions related to their future.

He never looked for the easiest way but understood that interregional and interorganizational cooperation - together with respect for differing opinions and approaches - is crucial for an inclusive and peaceful society.

In Radovan Vukadinovic we lose not only a board member, but a true friend and companion. Our deepest condolences go to his daughter, his family, his friends and colleagues.

In the name of the IIP, but also personally, we would like to say a big “thank you, Radovan”!
